We were just getting to know each other,
My one call (puch puch or mau mau that's how I would call her) and you would come running even if it is from far away,
Your shelter was demolished to build a new fancy building but I had great plans for you,
All your siblings left for another shelter, and you were the only one who stayed beneath the remains; hiding,
I just met you last night while I was on my feeding rounds, you seemed perfectly healthy and eating well,
Now I’ll keep thinking to myself perhaps if I had acted sooner I could have saved you,
Yesterday I was waiting for you, I fed all the dogs but u were nowhere to be seen I was about to leave until I saw your breathless body lying on the other end of the road,
I froze for a moment, got angry at the dogs thinking they might have killed you but there wasn't any sign of attack, I was acting strong holding my tears back,
I couldn't gather the strength to take another look at your lifeless bodies,
But then, the least I could do was to give you a respectful burial and bid you goodbye,
Every day I used to think that today I would write about you on my page and find you a cozy home, but I did not know that I would be writing your obituary today,
I don't know what might have gone wrong but you made me happy, you brought a smile to my face and I found solace in feeding you every night.
Run free you little one, you will always be there in my memory🐾.
Such a sad and lovely piece.
