This little soul would fall asleep with one eye on me. The obsession was mutual. I just couldn’t believe a tiny creature could love so big.
In 2015, Sitka was surrendered to a shelter by a homeless family who could no longer feed her. The little girl in the family had carried her around like a baby doll. I’ve often thought of that family and wanted to express my gratitude of their selflessness. I would tell them how our family loved her ferociously and that I continued to carry her around like a baby doll.
Sitka was discerning and sensitive and only really liked a few people and I found this keenly intelligent. If she let you into her orbit it was so special….pure sweetness!
I know I’m going on about a dog, but this girl loved me through a lot of Christmas mornings, rainy days and immense grief. You never forget the friend who snuggles and leans in with you in your darkest moments.
So, as she walks over the rainbow bridge, I watch longingly yet grateful that you came to me, little one. So lucky to have had you in my life. 🌈
