Shadow .. The Storm Breaker

by tempeste

sister's rock, anchor,
her safe port, secret haven.
Old now, he stirs, frets:
what will happen when he won't
be there to make things better?

We know dogs can worry. We know dogs love, miss, and understand their Owners. If we pour these facts into a big mixing bowl, we ll be able to bake ourselves one big sweet pie. And that pie will be called:

Dogs Worry About Their Owners!

Shadow was so much more than just a dog .. he helped Lucia , my best friend , a sister to me, get through the day. He knew when she needed a loving nudge or a wet kiss on the cheek ..

they shared beds and woes ( Lucia cares for both her elderly sickly parents, a full time job which is taking a toll on her mind and body).

Sadly, he passed away 26th May 2021.

I too worry for her well-being.
