Notes: To Chomp Chomp age is just a number, while his records say he is 11 years old, his exuberance will have you second-guessing. If you are looking for an energetic companion for adventures, Chomp Chomp will gladly be in step with you. This guy has plenty of energy for playtime and hikes. Chomp is a quick learner who is working hard on his leash skills every day. Because he can get enthusiastic with going out for walks and mouthy with the leash initially, he does best when he has a toy in his mouth for the start of his walks. This simple trick keeps him focused and happy as he settles into his stride. He is a dog who thrives on exercise and structure, and is looking for a home that can provide the consistent routine he needs. Chomp Chomp already has his basic commands in place. He knows sit, paw, and down, and he has great manners to build upon. He is very respectful of fencing and loves running around and exploring in the play yard.

ONE BY ONEOne by one, they pass by my cageToo old, too worn, too broken, they say Way past his time, he can’t run and play They shake their heads and go on their way A little old man, arthritic and sore It seems that I am wanted no more I once had a home, I once had a bed A place that was warm, and where I was fed Now my muzzle is grey, and my eyes slowly fail Who wants a dog so old and so frail? My family decided I didn’t belong I got in their way, my attitude wrong Now I sit in this kennel, where day after day The younger ones are chosen and taken away When I had come to the end of my rope You saw my face and again I knew hope You saw past the grey, the legs wobbly with age And felt I deserved life beyond this cage You took me home, gave me food and a bed You gently stroked my poor tired head We snuggle and play, you talk to me low You love me so dearly, and make sure I know Although I have lived most of my life with another You outshine them with a love so much stronger I promise to return all the love I can give To you my dear friend, as long as I live I may be with you for a week, or for years We will share many smiles, and a few tears When the time comes, that God deems I must leave I know you will cry and your heart it will grieve When I arrive at the Bridge all brand new My thoughts and my heart will still be with you And I will brag to all who will hear Of the person who made my last days so dear. |
