I adopt rescue dogs
regularly
There is joy in watching
them respond to love
and safety and spoiling
There is sadness in holding
them as they grow old and
frail and fail and leave me
But I keep doing it - the rescues
Nobody should be abandoned
unloved
unwanted
Especially the innocent
the animals we domesticated
and befriended
Miss Maggie left a month ago
after three good years of finding her
and nursing her back to health
Miss Princess is leaving today
Now a pained, weak little girl also
pampered and loved into health
over two years
breaking my heart as I
make this decision to release her
So sad. But glad I was able to
provide them both with a little bit of
a happy life
