DOG YEARS

DOG YEARS
by matt burns

No wonder why dogs don't live as long as us
You bring them on vacation
In a strange cottage you rented for a week
And they have no idea what's going on
You try to explain
But they don't understand
Their world's collapsing all week
And the stress eats away at their life force

These dogs are are so haunted by fears
Most of the time they have no idea what's going on
Forget going on vacation, just put them in a car
They have no idea where they're going
The park?
Vet?
New home?
So much anxiety
The stress accelerates their aging
And this is why they live 10-15 years tops
That's why, in case you're wondering, you guys
