Months ago, I met a sweet soul who was hurt, injured, and in really bad shape. She came looking for a quiet place to heal, to hide away from the world. We started caring for her wounds, gave her food, and made a little safe corner she could call home.
She was the gentlest, kindest soul. Later we learned she had lived a rough life.
Someone once took her in as a puppy, but she was kicked out not long after because she couldn’t get along with the other dog in the house. Since then, she’d been living on the streets, surviving on scraps.
Last night, this pure and innocent soul left us and went to puppy heaven. There’s no more pain, no more fear, no more cruel people—only peace, joy, and love.
It may have been a short time we had with you, but I hope, even for a moment, you felt what it means to be loved… to have a home.
See you again one day, Mardi.
Rest in peace, sweet girl.
