T'was The Night Before Christmas: English bulldog / pit bull version
Tā€™was the night before Christmas and the shelter is dark,
the whole place is silent, not even a bark.
The dogs are all locked in their pens for the night,
the staff have gone home and turned out the light.
As I lay my head on the cold concrete floor,
I fondly recall the home I had before.
The family I loved who loved me right back
weā€™d share everything from secrets to snacks.
Things couldnā€™t be better at this time last year,
but that has all changed, now I am here.
I wonā€™t see the tree, the lights, or the snow,
Iā€™m scared and alone, my spirits are low.
The others like me werenā€™t put up for adoption,
a new family and home, for us arenā€™t an option.
Weā€™ve been locked up in cells as if weā€™re all crooks,
we donā€™t deserve homes, because of our looks.
Not Diesel, or Bingo, or the young one named Percy,
deserve to be loved nor shown any mercy.
While families celebrate holiday cheer,
I know in my heart, that my end is near.
The vet will arrive, the lights will go on,
by the time you awake, we all will be gone.
A stranger will come and take me away,
Iā€™ll never awake to see another day.
As I close my eyes, Iā€™ll shed you a tear,
the fond memories I will always keep near.
The only thing Iā€™ve ever asked of Santa Claus,
is to stop all these unfair, ridiculous laws.
You said without me, your life was not full,
so why does it matter, that Iā€™m a Pit Bull / english bulldog?
In my dream Santa shouts when heā€™s finished his deed,
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, REGARDLESS OF BREED!

I wish this was posted before xmas. I would of printed and laminated it and tied it to every kennely in the local dog shelters with pitbulls/eb and the worst one around here the shelters rarely take Staffys to rehome cos nobody will adopt them and they end up being put to sleep.. So so sad :( . I bet if they had this poem hung on the kennel people would give them a chance x
