Sad Tail

she lays curled up in a blanket, a pillow for her head, enjoying a full tummy and a lovely warm bed sadly this wasn't the way a few days ago, no bed, a gravestone was where she laid her head laying besides her master, grief pouring out of her eyes ten long years together ...then quite suddenly ...he dies no one could tempt her away from the grave, cos in her mind she was guarding her master, this faithful hound a little girl saw the dog and without fear talked quietly, whilst stroking her, the dog liked her near "Mam can we take her home, she is so cold and sad", "shall we go home first, have a word with Dad". Dad was easily persuaded so back to the churchyard did go where was the dog she wasn't in sight, little girl said " oh no" a feeble woof greeted their call, had tried to follow them was too weak and starving , legs wobbly and thin hadn't noticed her by the gates, too busy talking it seems, they wrapped her in a blanket, was the answer to her dreams a lovely healthy dog was the conclusion by the vet feed her small amounts but often, make a lovely pet. so that's why Bess is lying here in a blanket cosy and warm has a whole family to guard now, make sure no one will harm. penned 30 April2016 so many dogs need a home or a few minutes of attention have you a few minutes, go look and try to help at your local Dog's Home.
