I saw this on Chan's Blog and asked to sang it, as I think its something everyone should see, kinda makes me wish I could run off millions of copies and put them in every door out here.... so many times when outside with my own, we hear doggie cries and it always make me wonder. Alot of folks out this way keep there dogs outside constantly and I really feel for those doggies. I guess mine are very spoiled and live the life of luxury when I think about it..only time they are outside is to go potty or we sit outside and enjoy the cool air..and sometimes to get Lady wore out with ball playing :)
Hope that everyone will pass this along!
Forgotten Dog’s Christmas
‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there. The children were nestled all snug in their beds, With no thought of the dog filling their head. And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap Knew he was cold but didn’t care about that.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter! I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter! Away to the window I flew like a flash Figuring the dog was free of his chain and into the trash. The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow, Gave the luster of mid-day to objects below. When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But Santa Claus - with eyes full of tears.
He un-chained the dog once so lively and quick. Last year’s Christmas present, now painfully thin and sick. More rapid than eagles he called the dog’s name And the dog ran to him, despite all his pain.
“Now, DASHER! now, DANCER! now, PRANCER and VIXEN! On, COMET! on CUPID! on, DONNER and BLITZEN! To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall! Let’s find this dog a home where he’ll be loved by all.
I knew in an instant there would be no gifts this year For Santa Claus had made one thing quite clear. The gift of a dog is not just for one season. We had gotten the pup for all the wrong reasons. In our haste to think of the kids a gift. There was one important thing that we missed.
A dog should be family, and cared for the same. You don’t give a gift, then put it on a chain. And I heard him exclaim as he rode out of sight “You weren’t given a gift! You were given a LIFE!”

Awesome and very true! I copied it to share in an e mail with some folks.
Oh and say a little prayer my friend. We may be getting another dog. She is 6 years old, a doxie and needs a good home!
I'm glad a few of you have posted this, it's good to see. Hopefully someone will think long and hard before getting that "pet present". It's good that your dogs are "spoiled", that means they are safe and well cared for. My SIL the vet tech/dog trainer says a tired dog is a good dog...keep that Lady Demon exausted!
Thank you, on behalf of dogs everywhere.
Sissy is dreaming up a storm. Unfortunately, she'll be un-tired when she awakes.
Thank you, on behalf of doggies, shelter, rescues and all... :)
