I took a ride today 
                        By Jo Kellar
 
I took a ride today.   I left my mom and my family.  It was home, I
don't know if it was a good one or a bad one, but it is what I knew. 
 
I don't like this place, I want to go home.  Back to my mom and my
brothers and sisters.  I thought this place would be nice; the people
played me for awhile when I got here.  Now, they leave me all day in
this box they call a crate.  I'm a baby, what goes in goes out.  These
people yell at me all the time for making a mess in my prison they call
crate. They want me to be a certain way.  Well, teach me, don't yell at
me.  I can't learn that way.  They tell me I am bad, I am so afraid.  I
react the only way I know how.  Then they are mad at me because I reach
out.  I am only a baby; my mother nipped me when she wanted my
attention.  I nipped and growled like momma taught me.  They tell me I
am bad.
 
I took a ride today.  I thought I was going to go back to my mom.  This
place is worse than the last.  Animals are crying, barking, praying for
help all the time.  I don't like this place.  I want to go home.  There
are a few people here that talk to me and tell me I am good.  They tell
me I will go home.  This gives me some hope that I didn't have before.
Could I please have a home that loves me?  
 
I took a ride today.  I was shoved into another one of those prison
crates and rode for a long time.  This time the prison wasn't so bad; I
had a blanket to lie on and a toy to keep me company.  It was quiet and
peaceful after being in that awful place with all the noise and cold
floors.  We stopped and rested, I had something to eat and drink and
time to stretch my legs and feel grass under my feet.  When I was put
back in the crate and we pulled out of the drive, I fell asleep.  The
first good sleep I had had in months.  
 
I took a ride today.  I left the home of the person who cared for me,
cleaned me, made me whole and well.  I will miss her, she cried when I
left.  She couldn't see I cried, too.  I learned so much from her, how
to be loved, how to play ball, how to behave like a good dog.  We
walked, we talked, we gazed into each other's eyes.  She told me she
would find me a family. 
 
I took a ride today.  That lady that cared for me so many years ago made
sure I had a home to love me.  My people and I have grown old together.
We walked, we talked, we gazed into each other's eyes.  We don't take
long walks, we don't play ball in the park, we don't go for long trips
anymore.  But, I have known what love and happiness is.  I have done all
those things and more with people who have kept me safe and warm.   
 
I will take my last ride today with no regrets for I will wait for my
people to take them home.
