It’s dark outside and gloomy, may be even raining. Or sunny and dry. Fresh and green, urging you to go for a walk. Or snowy and beautiful – just for a play. Sometimes it is warm, another time it is cold. Spring, summer, autumn or winter. But always so monotonous for us. We cannot choose to go outside or stay cuddling at home. We can only observe how days go by and seasons change, always from the same place – behind the bars of our pens. Because we live in a shelter!
There good people take care for us and love us but we dream for our own homes. When there will be no more boring, grey and monotonous days. When every day will be like our weekends – we will be caressed and walked, they will give us little treats, laugh at us when we do something stupid, they will play with us and we will have many friends and family. When we will be able to feel the grass beneath our paws more than once a week, to hide under the shadow of a tree, go in a river for cooling or games, or climb a mountain peak.
Yes, we dream for these days and way for them impatiently. Just like we wait for the weekend to come and for the volunteers to visit us – our friends who bring so much joy and color in our lives. We know that you are busy always in a hurry and with millions of things to do. We know that you only have one weekend. But that’s all we have too – 2 days in which we can feel like real pets and all because of you.
So we ask you – please don’t forget us when the days got hot and you start going out in the mountains and woods; don’t forget us when it’s cold or snowy and you would rather stay at home; don’t forget us EVER. Because you are all we have! And we wait for you – Every Weekend! And we will also wait for you this weekend.
