Something To Honor Claydon, Pamela's pup she wrote about Options

[Ann H]

I just could not let go of the story of Pamela's golden ##er spaniel that was not her's but that she was trying to find a home for and the horrific fate he suffered at the hands of his original owner.

Pamela had found him a good home but the owners decided to keep him and he was brutally attacked and killed by the one who did not want him but kept him anyway.

He was rejected and neglected and he lived his short life out in a cage unloved and unwanted. Claydon lived a life of misery never feeling the love of the human touch or hearing soft gentle words. He was not able to recieve or give kisses or play with toys.

I will never understand how those who call themselves human beings can do this to animals, children, and old people and the ones who cannot protect themselves from evil wicked people. Yet it happens every day and I am so glad Pamela did not turn a blind eye but turned that monster in. I did not want this precious little boy Claydon to go without being remembered so I wrote a poem for him.

Claydon
Your story sweet Claydon has caused many tears
for your life was cheated out of so many years.
Claydon your hair was spun to look like gold
that evil man killed you, you did not grow old.

You were punished and made to stay in a cage
until that monster killed you in a fit of rage.
He rallied against you maybe cursing your birth
not seeing joy and all the love you were worth.

You deserved being loved and held in someone's arms
you should have been protected from all life's harms.
I told my girls at the Rainbow Bridge to look you up
and when I arrive I will take you in my arms sweet pup.

Dear Ann,

That was SO sweet and loving of you!
What a sad little poem, but such a nice tribute to Claydon.
It just touched my heart and made me cry. Like you, I am just heartbroken and sick to my stomach when I think of the life poor Claydon had to endure. In a small comforting way, he is finally enjoying himself and suffering no more. I would just HATE to think that Claydon would have lived for many years under those terrible cir%%stances.
