Chained Love

You were there. Right in the corner. Waiting patiently, always excited. By the corner, you'd watch...patiently you'd wait. You'd pee yourself in excitement when you are cuddled. You are so full of love and cheers despite your limited movement because you were chained. You were there, all those times, full of love, full of joy. You were once, a bundle of hope, rekindling connections, you were always happy. Our bath time despite your agitation is our time of togetherness, you'd had me solo because the cats and the other dog wouldn't care about the waters. You don't love the water too but you love me...so you'd overcome all the chills and freezing coldness every single time.

You were there, in pain growing up, got used to the scars, got used to the wounds. You were once unable to walk...very sick. I got you healed. We survived that one time baby, right? We were able to surmount that parvo illness despite your condition...you were a beautiful and innocent furbaby. All you want is a little love, a little cuddle, a little touch and your day will be complete.

Am I not a little less like you? Chained in the corner, waiting patiently...

Now you aren't chained. You are freed baby, run free, run wild, giggle in the bushes and brush your paws in the earth of warm and moistened soil. You were but a happy pill, not fully embraced, not fully celebrated. We could have all the best of times, right? We could have, but we didn't because you were there, left in the corner, reserved, accustomed to just wait and receive what little extra attention be given to you. Carry my heart in your dwelling place darling and visit me in my dreams where together we will have unending cuddles and we will be running the alleys with no ends. Carry my tears away in rest as you leave all the love. Today I'll bath your memory in tears as I reminisce all the waiting time and patience you took for me, for a little love, for a little touch. I will cry away all the wasted chances of not having you experience what it is to be fully loved and cherished because you deserved to be. I owe you big time baby but I have always trusted that you were strong and that whenever I have the time, I can play with you. I trusted that you will always endure and take care of yourself so when I have enough I can feed you all the luxury food that you wanted. You used to just eat everything I feed you, right? You were such a very good girl. You would even drink all those medicines and vitamins, You were such a good girl...you will forever be my good girl, my love, my Luna girl. Know that a big piece of my heart is grieving for you. Your owner may have disowned you but I never thought of you like that, I hope despite my limited time you felt my love. I love you.
