Spring Puppy and Kitten Love

 

Spring Puppy and Kitten Love

 

I hate to be a killjoy

For I too feel the puppy (and kitty) love

But too many are born

Every spring there's a boom

Many of them die, never knowing a loving home

 

Please, if you have a critter

Keep him or her safe, inside or in a yard

Make sure to spay and neuter

For though I love the little balls of fluff

We have to say enough's enough

 

Until we can find loving homes for every one

We need to do what must be done

Give them food and shelter, and fix them too

To make a happier world

This is what we have to do

 

Don't let their lives end in springtime

In a shelter, or on the cold concrete

Let them live long, to a ripe old age

In a home where they know comfort

In a world where they know love

Not the best poem I ever wrote, but when I saw the picture of the puppy, that is what came to mind. Spring is a time when animal births of all kinds boom. There is an increase in litters of puppies and kittens brought to the shelter in the spring.
