Today I learned about the good that is still in the world!
I received a box from the company I ordered heartworm med
They provided heartworm med for my dog Bella, for years
I had ordered some just before she passed away...
I had to call them to cancel the order and tell them that she died
I opened this surprising box and there was a card and a gift!
I opened a pouch and there was a painted rock inside that said Bella!!
They never met me and they have no idea that I love and collect rocks!
I cried about their kindness and will never forget this BLESSING!

He's found another heart to devour.
Reciting the perfect words, perfecting gentle mannerisms.
Cleverly burrowing his way in.
Feeding off the shadows of weakness.
Eating the beat of the flesh.
Making its way into the center.
Seducing embers deep within its heart cage.
Then licking it into pieces.
He carries no oxygen,
only the soil of past conquests.
He's your latest heartworm,
your sticky rosary of death.
