Toro

Toro was waiting anxiously at the local dog shelter, with sad lonely eyes. He paced back and forth, as the days passed him by. If I wasn't a little Chihuahua, maybe they would choose me then. I rather be a strong German Shepherd, because they always get picked, and my loneliness, would end. Oh, oh some people are looking to adopt! They are walking by my cage, oh no please, notice me, please stop! They walked by Toros cage, as he wept and let out a mournful sigh. His little heart was broken, as he was not chosen, way deep, deep, deep inside. He would start to tremble, from all the rejection he felt, when he was looked upon. No one wanted a puppy trembling, thinking he had something wrong. The expression, "Every dog has his day." came into play, on this special day. My wife Judy and I saw him shaking in his cage. My wife said. "What's the matter honey are you feeling cold?" She raised him up and held him, what a happy boy! Toro's eyes lit up like the brightest sun. His tail was wagging, as his heartfelt pain, was healed and gone. My wife said, "Michael this one, I have to have." "A wonderful choice honey." I said. He wouldn't sit still, as he was full of excitement, as we were taking him home. His little heart was pounding so fast as his anticipation had grown. He ran out of the car like he had been here before, and waited for us, to open the front door. Once inside he met Saranac our cat, and ran over to meet Lily May our terrier, my wife's favorite brat. He spends his time given us his loving doggy licks and impresses us daily with his fancy doggy tricks. My Toro now runs around like he owns the place. Every once in a while, he gives the paperboy, a couple of barks and a little chase. He follows me now wherever I go, and bites at the flies, that fly around his nose. Toro brings us so much joy, each and everyday. " This is your special home, my little friend, where, you will always stay." Michael Tor 9/14/2015 My pet, Contest. Sponsored by Broken Wings.
