We Couldn’t Save Baloo Today

We couldn’t save Baloo today

No matter how hard we tired

In the world of dog rescue

Sometimes, it just happens that way

Baloo the big fluffy white dog

Was condemned to death

For biting a cop

Who climbed in through a window

His old lady, Baloo had to defend

Both the cop and the dog

Were just doing their job

Baloo was saved by a rescue

And was sent to a foster Mom

But the foster Mom had issues

A big fluffy white dog

For her, was just too much

A nervous dog sent

To a nervous vet

By a nervous foster Mom

To the program she wouldn’t commit

And so again, Baloo bit

Now dear reader, understand please

There no such thing as a bad dog

We made this breed, this species

We created the dog

We are their gods

And when we treat them horribly

Neglect and abuse and don’t socialize too

That is how a dog gets ruined

Now Baloo is doing time

For humanities’ crime

And there’s nothing we can do

We thought hard and long

We worried and discussed

Tears were cried as we bowed our heads

But there was nothing to be done

By the time you read this today

Dear sweet Baloo

The big fluffy white dog

Will be dead

About Juniper

Most folks call me Juniper, my friends call me Juni. I am thirty years old but eternally youthful.

I have been a farmer and a city girl, a homesteader and a wanderer. I have worked in animal rescue and occult shops, art galleries, liquor stores and bead shops.

I have been practising Paganism and Witchcraft for 15 years. I am not an Elder, nor guru. I am just a messy little Hedgewitch who speaks her mind.

I hunt in thrift store jungles and gather in the wildwoods. I practice in groves and ditches, hedgerows and sea shores, basements and vacant lots.

This is my journal. It will have funny bits, rants, ramblings, ideas, poetry and more ... Take it as you please. I suggest reading with your tongue firmly in cheek.
