This sweet girl came into my life just when I needed it the most. Missing Min deeply, I started volunteering at the greyhound kennels every day, going there to walk the hounds. One girl in particular bonded with me. Bessie, nee Bestie. Tiger stripped, kangaroo girl, who no one wanted to walk, or re-home. A couple months later and I made up my mind, I’d take her home.
From the kennel life to warm beds and comfy couches, rides in the car windows down, nose out. Pink collars with bows and sparkly bandanas. Yummy snacks and banana chunks and pup cups from Starbucks. Walks on the beach and in forests, shopping at the outlet. Cosy evenings watching football, lying on the grass on sunny days. Finally knowing what warmth and love and comfort are.
My weird, long nosed, skinny pencil girl. Who has come so far, and makes me smile everyday. Ily Bes Bes xx
Today’s Min’s anniversary. We miss you, Min. Thank you for sending Pencil to me ❤️
