Dog Whispers

I am a wild animal by blood and nature
Loving the outdoors each chance I get
Bred to be a domesticated pet
Free range is the only way I know to be

Why am I sent to obedient schools and camps
Force to follow instructions/rules
Move only on when given command
Put in a containers, crates, or boxes

Why am I punished if I be destructive to the house
Hit with objects and yelled at to make me obey
Lock me in a basement or crate for accident
Abandon me if I don't follow your house rules

I am not a fan of the leash that restricts me
Pulling/ snatching on my neck to control me 
Don't allow me to socialize or sniff around on walks
Not permitted to greet others who welcomes me

Some families keep me tether in the yard
Chained to the porch, tree or fence
The sun is very hot and snow is hard on my paws
Frozen water is a blast; ant covered food suck

Love cuddling and playing with children and adults too
Some times my duty is to watch your house
Looking out the window watching others play
Upon arrival at home, you too tired to allow to be outside

Short brisk outing to pee/poo after being inhouse all day
No socializing due to technology taking the attention
Roaming because of boredom, no stimulation for my brain
Just eating and sleeping has the become the norm

Bottom line,
I was bred for your satisfactions
Remember I'm a wild animal by genetics
Health problems stems from domestication
Domestication is costly.
