Etched in stone

The concrete had no say
Still wet
As hearts were etched
Initialed
Left to cure
Beside the pawprints
Of a frightened kitten

Is this a story about you and your kitty? That's adorable. I figured you as a pup lover... but you could be both.

We had a cat that i believe was a re-incarnated serial killer, homicidal maniac. He and the dog live-in a state of mutual distrust. Someone asked once "why don't you get rid of him" I answered truthfully "we're afraid of him"
