Abandoned, struck, left to defend myself.
I press in close to my siblings,
hoping for the warmth of their fur.
Hoping to give them back my own warmth.
Darkness surrounding us, encircling us.
The rumble of cars zooming from one side,
and on the other side was the creeping noise of
creatures that would love to eat us.
Too scared to move we stayed where we were.
Shivering in fear, our bellies growling with hunger.
All hope was gone, death was knocking at the door.
Then a car stopped alongside the road.
A two-legged woman stepped out of the belly of the monster.
Her eyes wide with shock and horror, her face twisted with sadness.
She crouched down slowly, stretching out her hand.
"It's okay lit' ones, I wont hurt you. I'm only here to help."
She whispered the words softly, the way our mother once had.
We move towards her kindness, her love.
Now I am separated from my remaining kin,
placed in a home so strange and unknown.
Yet a friend I have made, Shadow is his name.
He took me under his paw,
raised me, loved me, taught me everything he knew.
My best friend he became,
and as I grew he became my beloved mate.
I stuck to him like glue, where he went, I went.
Then this cruel life ripped out my heart yet again,
my beloved Shadow was taken from me.
Death showed him its unmerciful grip, took him away.
I gave up on life, my heart was broken, there was nothing to live for.
My humans tried to bring in another dog for me.
But no one could replace my man, my mate, my love.
Days past and I slowly started to accept Cutter.
But all the foolish dog wanted was freedom,
he held no loyalty to anyone.
He took his chance and ran, ran from his new home.
And again, death took its tole.
Struck by a car, limp alongside a road he laid.
Freedom is never free.
A year has past since then, my heart still broken.
They try to mend it, but nothing can tend it.
My Shadow is gone, but he remains in my heart, my mind.
Again my humans try to heal my brokenness by getting another dog.
Titus, handsome, big, a defender of the weak.
But how can he be trusted?
When he jerks his large head at every noise?
Alert and ready for battle if it calls.
But my heart reacts, my smile returns.
I can't help but follow him when he trots around the yard.
His muscles rippling through his snowy white pelt.
'He is not my Shadow, but he is handsome, brave and noble...'
Then a mistake he made, when he attacked the master.
Lost the human's trust.
Strange people came, took him away.
And again, this cruel life struck down another friend.
Death took its tole in the end.
Maybe a friend I'm not meant to have,
so I am slowly giving up hope on that.
But as another year goes by, my heart twists and turns.
I get worse before I get better.
Love, that is all I want, all I need.
And it finally must have sunk in the mind of my human.
Because she has finally started giving me what I need.
Time, love.
That's all any of us needs to heal.
And I'm healing, slowly but surely.
My days wont end with a broken heart.
But with love soaring around me.

Okay, I know this is kind of weird but I didn't know how else to write Sally's story.
This is what flowed out so I'm just gonna keep it. -hugs Sally- I honestly do feel bad, Sally was never really my dog, I was always the one with the cats and so I spent my time mainly with my cats and not the dogs. Though I've always been closer to Sally then anyone else in my family, she's always trust me more too... but she's always been holding something inside her that makes her scared of humans... So it makes it tough sometimes.
So I put some of the blame on me, if I showed her more love back then maybe she would have been a different dog right now... but I can't look back because I know I can't change anything that happened.Love IS the key!
But yea... this is HER story!
