I came across this poem the other day and really liked it.
Pity the sorrows of a poor old dog
Who wags his tail a-begging in his need;
Despise not even the sorrows of a frog,
God's creature too, and that's enough to plead;
Spare Puss who trusts us dozing on our hearth;
Spare bunny, once so frisky and so free;
Spare all the harmless creatures of the earth:
Spare and be spared - or who shall plead for thee?
-Christina Rossetti 1879

I hate to admit it, but Orah starting to be the "poor old dog". My heart goes out to how trusting animals are and how often that trust is broken.
i thought she looked like a rosetti woman.
