Walker County ALABAMA Strays: Dedicated to sweet Leo...the dog who has touched everyones hearts, especially mine. He has come a long way and still has a ways to go. He has severe heartworms. He had a malignant tumor removed a couple of weeks ago. He is 12 years old, but he has a heart of gold. Anyone who knows me knows that seniors break my heart into a million pieces. Seniors are not broken. They are not useless. They are the most loving companions. Just give them a chance. You wont regret it. To my sweet senior...love you Lee Lee. You have taught me so much about perseverance. You have been through so much, but you still have a zest for life. Even though we only have a short amount of time left together, I hope I can make every day you have left worthwhile. Tribute to Senior Dogs One by one, they pass by my cage, Too old, too worn, too broken, no way. Way past his time, he cant run and play. ... Then they shake their heads slowly and go on their way. A little old man, arthritic and sore, It seems I am not wanted any more. I once had a home, I once had a bed, A place that was warm, and where I was fed. Now my muzzle is grey, and my eyes slowly fail. Who wants a dog so old and so frail? My family decided I didnt belong, I got in their way, my attitude was wrong. Whatever excuse they made in their head, Cant justify how they left me for dead. Now I sit in this cage, where day after day, The younger dogs get adopted away. When I had almost come to the end of my rope, You saw my face, and I finally had hope. You saw through the grey, and the legs bent with age, And felt I still had life beyond this cage. You took me home, gave me food and a bed, And shared your own pillow with my poor tired head. We snuggle and play, and you talk to me low, You love me so dearly, you want me to know. I may have lived most of my life with another, But you outshine them with a love so much stronger. And I promise to return all the love I can give, To you, my dear person, as long as I live. I may be with you for a week, or for years, We will share many smiles, you will no doubt shed tears. And when the time comes that God deems I must leave, I know you will cry, and your heart, it will grieve. And when I arrive at the Bridge, all brand new, My thoughts and my heart will still be with you. And I will brag to all who will hear, Of the person who made my last days so dear. -Leslie Whalen — 2013
