Kombi Dogs.....our co-pilots

[wirrah]

A disclaimer. We have rescued many dogs (RSPCA, pounds, Cocker Rescue) but we have also purchased puppies and ex-show dogs from breeders (all who we consider as friends - their dogs will never need rescue)

Besides they are all loving being in the Kombies. Kombi=We are going for a walk or the obediance club oval (or the vets - yikes)

TO MY RESCUE DOG

There's no need to flinch when I lift my hand
No need to cower each time I stand
No need to run when I come near
No need to tremble - I see your fear.

You can sleep with both eyes shut,
Don't need to jump when you wake up.
Your food is yours to eat in peace
No need to fight to keep your feast

You don't need to lie upon a hard floor
The beds and sofas are yours to explore
Don't need to sit out in the rain
The house is your shelter, your new domain.

I cannot erase the memories and fears
I can't compensate for the wasted years
All I have is what you see
But I give you it all and I give you me.

I give you these arms to comfort and hold
I give you this voice for the joys you'll be told
I give you my heart and abundance of love
I give you my soul and I hope its enough.
