Sitting in my recliner
trying to take a nap.
On my lap a hairy ball
so happy to be here.
Deep brown eyes look up at
me full of love and trust.
Eyes that say how much she loves
me, how much she really cares.
Thank you for the rescue
my life was limited.
Thank you for the home
I have, thank you that you care.
Thank you for this warm house and
the fun walks that we take.
Thank you that you decided
on a dog like me.
Many dogs have come and gone but
I am here to stay.
Just because you cared enough
to rescue me that day.
