Diary of a Rescue Dog - Too Big (Part Four)

Sixteen weeks have now gone by
since I came into this world that I cannot understand.
My legs are getting taller and my fur is getting longer.
I am happy that I'm growing, but my owners are not impressed.

Lately things have been different
and I cannot fathom why.
During the day I am now left alone,
abandoned in my crate which no longer feels like home.

Apparently, when my humans come home from work,
I have destroyed my toys and blanket,
and done the toilet everywhere;
but I couldn't explain to them that
eight hours alone was just too long to wait.

So now I have nothing in this lonely world,
which still I can't understand.
My fur is clinging to everything,
and I'm too big for my crate,
and I heard my owners talking
about selling me on a tree.

But I am only four months old,
why on Earth would you sell me?

I shiver in the cold corner of my empty crate,
patiently waiting for tomorrow,
in the only home I seem to have
but cannot understand.
