I love my little puppy, she makes my house a home.

She is my very sweetest little friend, I never feel alone.

She makes me smile, she makes me laugh, she fills my heart with love.

Did someone breed her, or did she just fall from above?

 

I've never been a breeder,never seen life through their eyes.

I hold my little puppy and just sit and criticize.

I've never known their anguish, I've never felt their pain

The caring of their charges, through snow or wind or rain.

 

I've never waited the whole night through for  babies to be born.

The stress and trepidation when they're still not there by morn.

The weight of responsibility for this body in my hands.

This darling little baby, who weights but 60 grams.

 

Should you do that instead of this, or maybe that was wrong?

Alone you fight and hope, one day he'll grow up proud and strong.

You pray he'll to bring great joy to someone else's home

You know it's all just up to you. you'll fight this fight alone.

 

Formulas, bottles, heating pads,you've got to get this right.

two-hour feedings for this tiny little guy, through the day and night.

Within your your heart you dread that you will surely lose this fight.

to save this little baby, but God willing , you just might.

 

Day one, he's in there fighting, you say a silent prayer.

Day two & three, he's doing well, with lots of love and care.

Day four & five , she's still alive, your hopes soar to the heavens.

Day six he slips away again, and dies in your hands

Day seven , you take this angel, and bury him alone.

With aching heart and burning tears, and an exhausted groan.

You ask yourself, "why do this?, why suffer through this pain?

Yet watch the joy your and your puppies bring, and everything 's explained.

 

So, when you think of breeders and label them with "GREED"

Think of all that they endure fo fill another's need.

For when you buy your puppy, with your precious dollars part.

You only pay with money, while they with all their heart.
