Oh
how I love my humans! They are so nice to me by playing with me, feeding
me, and giving me fresh water several times a day. They even pet me for
no reason Sometimes and I just sit there and enjoy every minute of it. I wish I could speak their language and tell them how
much I love them and how thankful I am to be in their home instead of being
locked in a cage somewhere, tied out in the cold, or beaten for no reason.
I really wish I could tell them in their language so they could
understand me. I
also wish I could talk to them in their language to let them know how
uncomfortable I am. I have been walking on sore paws for almost a year.
My nails click on the floor, which really annoys me, and hurts more than
I can explain. I cannot walk normal and they do not seem to even realize
it. I hear them say a lot that my nails are long, yet nothing gets done. My
human mom had trimmed my nails a long time ago but she had a bad experience.
She used the nail clippers and made me bleed. It hurt really bad
but I was not mad at her, in fact, I gave her a kiss to try and tell her it was
okay. As much as I was hurting when she cut my nail too short, I hurt far
worse now because they are too long. They
are so bad that they are almost cutting the bottom of my paw. My nails
have curled and make my toes go sideways. I use the bottom of my paw to
test terrain and because I cannot walk normal, it throws my sense of touch off
and I cannot seem to walk straight. It
throws my balance off. I cannot run or jump as it hurts too much. This
has been going on for a long time. I know she is afraid to cut my nails
again because she is afraid of hurting me. I wish I could tell her it is
okay and that she should either cut them or take me somewhere to have them cut.
I want to run and play again. I do not want to hurt any more.
I want to tell her so bad but she cannot hear me. I do not know how
to make them aware of my pain. They
comment on my nails all the time and I am still hopeful they will get them cut
somehow. Maybe if I could stop wagging my tail around them and not act
happy, they would see that something is wrong. For some reason, when I'm
with them, I cannot be happy. I love being with them so much and it brings
me such joy. The happiness they give me seems to cover up my pain and
they really do not even know I hurt. Oh how I wish I could talk to them.
Oh how I wish they could hear me...
