Two Beautiful Poems about Dogs!

I found these two poems in my mail...just read them,they are really awe-inspiring!
Simply a stray
I am not 'simply a stray' you know
There is much more to me than that...
I would give you my heart, for another start
And a place to hang my hat.
I would welcome you at your front door,
Or walk with you in the park.
We could play ball in the garden
And I'd scare thieves away in the dark.
Or maybe I could be your ears,
And help you throughout your day,
'Hearing Dogs' might help me learn
To keep your fears at bay.
I would offer you companionship.
When the day is at its end.
I am not 'simply a stray' you know,
And I'll be your lifelong friend

A DOG SITS WAITING by Kathy Flood
A dog sits waiting in the cold autumn sun.
Too faithful to leave, too frightened to run.
He's been here for days now with nothing to do
But sit by the road, waiting for you.
He can't understand why you left him that day.
He thought you and he were stopping to play.
He's sure you'll come back, and that's why he stays.
How long will he suffer? How many more days?
His legs have grown weak, his throat's parched and dry.
He's sick now from hunger and falls, with a sigh.
He lays down his head and closes his eyes.
I wish you could seehow a waiting dog dies.

Our Dapoli trip..

So we had been to Dapoli from 13th to 15th.And how was our trip? Well,you tell me -
First we got a small bus,i.e,we were 19 ppl(including my cousin who is 2 n 1/2 years old) and we got a 14 seater bus!We had asked for an 18 seater bus but apparently the person did not have one!!!His fault!!And he was asking us in adjust in a 14 seater bus!!My mum told him we are all full size and cant adjust..hehehe!!So after much argument,he sent us another indica car..Ok..this was fine..
Then the Indicawala wanted to fill petrol and the petrol pumps were on a strike so he went searching for petrol in every petrol pump..while doing so,he had taken the service road and from there he reached the Mumbai Pune express highway!!Now as u know there are no u-turns or anything on the expressway..so the indica almost reached chiplun before it could turn bac!So my mum,Aaji and another aunt who were in the car came much later..
Then,in front of our bangalow,another bangalow was being built and they were taking electricity from our bungalow..so due to whatsoever reason,at almost 9p.m,the lights went off in our bungalow..inspite of the inverter being there!Then we had to call the electrician and finally the lights came bac!
Next day,i.e Saturday,we realised that there was no water in the tank!!And even though the motor was there,it was not working!So till almost 10.30 in the morning there was no water in the house!!Then we called some ppl who connected our tank with the main water tank and finally we got water!!
Then we went to Hedwi at 3 p.m..reached there at 6.30,visited the Ganesh temple and came bac at 10p.m.We travelled almost 6 hours just to visit a temple for 20 minutes!!
Next day,that is Sunday(yesterday),we left for mumbai at 3p.m.But at about 30kms from dapoli,the Indica hit a stone and its diesel tank burst open!woooo...all the diesel came out in no time!In the Indica were my Mum n Dad,Aaji and my cousin.They had to push the car till it reached a nearby village.Unfortunately,in that village,there was no network!So they cudnt call us as we were ahead in the bus..then they called from a PCO and by that time,we were 10 kms ahead!So we turned back and again went to the stop where they were!As the diesel tank had burst,the Indica had to be towed!And there was no garage nearby except the on at Mandungadh which was 10kms away.So first we tried to tie the bus and the car with a thick rope,but no use.It broke in no time!Then we got a metal wire and tied the car to the bus.Then we had to go at a speed of a bullock cart till Mandungadh coz otherwise the wire wud hav broken again!And so while in normal circumstances we wud hav reached mumdungadh in 25 minutes,at this speed,it took us 2 excruciating hours to reach the same place!!
This was not it!!We left the driver and the car at the garage itself and by the time we again left for Mumbai it was already 7 p.m!!After about 45 minutes,it started raining cats and dogs!!In April!!Can you believe that??Obviously the bus didnt hav vipers...there was lightening,heavy rain,winds...a perfect setting for a mini-storm!Thankfully it stopped after 1 n half hours or so.Then we stopped at Kamat to eat at 10p.m. and again left at 10.45.After dropping everyone at Vashi,Dadar and Bandra,we finally reached home at 2p.m!!
What a trip..seriously!!

What the hell!!

I just dont understand!Why the hell are ppl like this???If you do good,they dont see it.They think they know everything and they think u r infact doing the wrong thing!And others support such ppl..out of fear..out of hatered for the person who does the right thing...whatever be the reason..how can ppl b like this???
One is a person who has helped those dogs...who has kept the dogs alive..who has taken care of those dogs...and ppl think this person is doing the wrong thing by keeping someone alive!
And other is the person who has killed those dogs...who has,before too,pelted stones at those dogs..who has merdered those dogs!!And ppl support that person???How cud anyone b so cruel??
And look at the guts of these damn ppl...they have the guts to man handle someone??That too for no reason at all??The only reason they hav is that person has complained about some illegal things that these ppl hav been doing!And thats the reason u man handle someone??How dare they???What do they think of themselves??And I thout we were living in an educated,cultured locality...and this is how u behave??
