From the heart of a newly retired racer!

I look at all the people come,
I don't know why they're here,
a whole new life has just begun,
but in me there's such fear.

My world has changed so rapidly,
my racing days are done,
I sit here in this cage and think,
will I ever be the one?

The words I hear, what do they mean,
like home and couch and treat?
How do I act when someone comes,
and what's a "Meet and Greet"?

Could someone teach me how to act?
Some other way to be?
One day will someone take me home
and share their life with me?

I think that I could be a "pet",
and learn to be at rest.
The other hounds say it's a breeze,
and what greyhounds do best.

I know that I look scared and worn,
but with some help I'd be,
the worlds best fur kid for someone,
if someone would just teach me!

Beautiful

Wonderful!
