The Ramblings of Just Another Crazy Cat Lady

I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.

I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep.

I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,

"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."

I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,

You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.

I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore.

I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.

I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.

I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.

I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.

I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said " it's me."

You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.

I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.

It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.

To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."

You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...

In the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.

The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning

and say "good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."

And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,

I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.

I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.

Be patient, live your journey out...then come home to be with me.

Iowa's animal advocates will soon fill the halls of the Iowa State Capitol in Des Moines for Humane Lobby Day 2014. You can be in on this exciting action, too! Join your HSUS state director Carol Griglione for one day that can make all the difference for animals.

Don't worry if you're new to lobbying or are unfamiliar with the issues. What's important is that you're there. We'll be there with you every step of the way.

What is Humane Lobby Day? It's a one-day event where you can meet with your elected officials and their staff about animal protection issues in Iowa.

Why is your participation in Lobby Day so critical? We know legislators are most motivated when their constituents take time to meet face-to-face. It's your chance to show how much animals mean to you.

Reserve your spot now for Humane Lobby Day 2014! Carol Griglione is happy to help with additional questions:iowa@humanesociety.org.
