Resounding Woofs

Prologue

Pets with special needs are often forgotten souls. Here is a stream of conciousness tribute to both them, and their heroic caregivers.

Your muzzle twitches in evening sun, a gentle woof resonates through the twilight haze, you rise slowly, cautious,dancing a delicate ballet on three legs, while the fourth—once sturdy— limp now, a distant vision.

As we traverse the world as one, your eyes are mirrors of silver, reflecting a boldness the stuff of my dreams, each step speaks of resilience, and I am humbled by your perseverant struggle, the way you blur the world’s edges with your cautious gait, as you redefine the soul of movement, the spaces where your feet fall, gentle defiance against worldly limitations.

Your fur, an expertly woven quilt of stories, each thread a note of extra effort and untold strength, where the ordinary becomes extraordinary in your challenging world.

You seek warmth, entwining yourself within the folds of a blanket, your abject honesty woven into each one, each of your nuzzles is a plea for comfort, and I align myself with your silent communication and a promise to be present, to blunt the razor sharp edges of your harsh reality, to be the steady hand leading you through the endless maze of an existence not shaped for your uniqueness.

You run about in your K9 cart, your steps steady and perseverant though one leg is still, a watchful guardian viewing a world that moves too fast. While we remain bound in our shared stillness, I watch the way you dream with quiet dignity and resolve, perhaps of horizons where every step is sure, where the ground lends support and your movements enabled, your body a powerful vessel strengthened by the tenderness we share in all our moments.

Your woof, the unmistakable beat of the song of my thoughts, embraces the delicate form of the day, and I trace the shape of your being, charting the ways we adapt, you with tenacious grace, me with undying determination to smoothen your path.

Do you dream of places where each step is free, where you shape the world with your will, where love is a gentle waterfall that flows endlessly? I hope so, as I move through this shared journey, needling warmth into the coldness of the day, finding beauty in the silent rhythm of your struggle and victory, of woofs and echoes and the gentle strength of a little heart that beats with a love and grit that overcomes all bounds.
