Quote:When I got my new Dog
I asked for strength that I might rear him/her perfectly;
I was given weakness that I might feed him/her more treats.
I asked for good health that I might rest easy;
I was given a "special needs" dog that I might know nurturing.
I asked for an obedient dog that I might feel proud;
I was given stubborness that I might feel humble.
I asked for compliance that i might feel masterful;
I was given a clown that I might laugh.
I asked for a companion that I might not feel lonely;
I was given a best friend that I would feel loved.
I got nothing I asked for,
But everything that I needed

well bud well miss the crap outta ya
but i hear that rainbow bridge digs are pretty sweet
and me
well yeah know
cant hide from the suck
