狗狗的遗书

Dear Mom and Dad，

I died today. You got tired of me and took me to the shelter. They were over crowded and I drew an unlucky number. I am in a plastic bag in a land fill now. Some other puppy will get the barley used leash you left. My collar was dirty and too small， but the lady took it off before she sent me to the Rainbow Bridge.

Would I still be at home if I hadnt chewed your shoe？ I didnt know what it was， but it was leather， and it was on the floor. I was just playing. You forgot to get me puppy toys.

Would I still be at home if I had been house broken？ Rubbing my nose in what I did made me ashamed I had to go at all. There are books and obedience teachers that would have taught you how to teach me to go to the door.

Would I still be at home if I hadnt brought fleas into the house？ Without anti-flea medicine， I couldnt get the moffme after you left me in the yard for days and days.

Would I still be at home if I hadnt barked and barked？ I was only saying “Im scared， Im lonely， Im here， Im here！I want to be your best friend.”

Would I still be at home if I had made you happy？ Hitting me didnt help.

Would I still be at home if you had taken the time to care of me and to teach me manners？

You didnt pay attention to me after the first week or so， but I spent all my time waiting for you to love me.

I died today.

親爱的爸妈：

今天我走了。你对我感到厌倦了，所以你把我送去了收容所。收容所的动物已经太多了，而我抽到了不幸的号码。现在被装进黑色塑胶袋的我静静躺在掩埋场里。你留下来几乎全新的牵绳会给其他小狗狗用。我的项圈又脏又太小，不过阿姨在送我上天堂之前帮我把它拿下来了。

如果我没有咬坏你的鞋，你会不会让我留下来？我不知道那是什么，只知道那是皮的，而且你把它丢在地上。你忘了帮我买狗狗玩具了。

如果我没有在家里大小便，你会不会让我留下来？你把我的鼻子压在便便上只会让我对需要上厕所感到羞愧。书跟训练老师都可以告诉你如何教会我走到厕所门口要你开门。

如果我没有把跳蚤带到家里来，你会不会让我留下来？我身上没有驱虫药，我没有办法在你把我留在院子里好几天后自己把身上的跳蚤抓下来。

如果我没有乱叫，你会不会让我留下来？我只是想告诉你：“我害怕，我孤单，我在这里啊！我想成为你最好的朋友！”

如果我让你开心，你会不会让我留下来？但是打我并不会让我知道怎么让你开心。

如果你愿意花时间照顾我，教我如何当一只好狗狗，我是不是就可以留下来了？

差不多第一星期之后你就没有再注意过我了，但是我一直都在等着你爱护我

而今天，我走了。
