on the prowl…
It began with Skilah. A small little German Chow mix at the back of the cage, ever so watchful as her litter mates scrambled and cuddled around her. At that instance, my heart melted and opened wide up to let her completely in. I actually replaced my husband with Slikah!
She was this regal girl, a queen in the dog world. So assured of her actions and such confidence. She guided me to a path of contentment and healing, opening my heart and eyes to the now….smell the roses, stop and breathe in the air, sit and listen to…the silence.
She seemed to think I saved her life. The reality is she saved mine, maybe not my physical life, but my spirit, my soul, the life that puts the smile and the warmth in my heart.
She was my soulmate for 7 years and then was struck with a horrible cancer in her stomach and within 3 months, I needed to give her peace….and my heart completely broke….
