REMEMBER ME -ODE TO THE IRRESPONSIBLE BREEDER
- Trudie James -

Remember me, though I know that you won't
I'm the pup that you bred, I'm the soul that you owned

Remember my mum, though you'll just get confused
She's the bitch that you broke, she's the womb that you used

Remember the vet that you didn't call
When the blood ran so dark in our cold dank stall

Remember how cruelly you kicked me away
When I dared lick your hand - I just wanted to play

Remember the age that you wrenched me from mum
With my hold on life fragile and my weaning not done

Remember the home that you didn't check
That kept me outside with a chain round my neck

You'll remember the blood money you exchanged for my life
You'll remember the goodies it bought you and the wife

Now imagine my fate and cringe with your shame
See my sad lifeless eyes and my skeletal frame

I've known neglect and abuse I feared never would end
When Death came for your pup, it came as a friend

There are thousands just like me in the yard, street and pound
And whilst bad breeders breed this grim cycle goes round

You failed in your duty though I was born at your will
Now I'm your fatal shadow that walks by you still

I hope, my cruel breeder, that your guilt's worth your gain
You filled your car with my fear, bought your beer with my pain

But no act goes unnoticed and no sin goes unpaid
You'll account for my life at the end of your days

I'll be right there beside you when at your Reckoning you stand
You'll remember me then - it's my blood on your hands .

I've never read that one before it's really heart breaking.

Terri

It's a new one to me to Terri, say's it very well I think. Shame those that its aimed won't read it and even if they do they won't give a sh*t.

new to me too

Gave me goosepimples

Like you say though, those that should read it, wont

Having just read a newbie's post on their very sick puppy, that brought tears to my eyes. How sad that it is so true. And as you say those that should read it won't give a damn

Heartbreaking.

Reminds me of something i saw the other day on animal planet - one of the american rescue programmes. A beautiful rottie, absolute skin and bone, chained up in the SNOW, no food or shelter. Poor thing literally couldnt stand. How can anyone do that to a dog, and what kind of person would sell a pup to someone who would do that? Her little face broke my heart.

At the end it showed her in her new home, fit, fat, healthy and playing with her new family of children. A lot wouldnt be so lucky im sure!!
