My "Candy"[Floss] Love

It was a May summer the sun was bright and was enjoying his dominance over all and sundry. He got a kick when he saw the animals running for shelter. And social animals sweating like a horse.
It was mid day hot and windy, the birds flew back to their nests. Dogs lay on the neighbor's wet grass with lolling tongues. Cows grazing the a parched land with scanty grass nearby. Tired crows sat on their backs and feasted on ticks and maggots. The cows were to lazy to mind. Dullness and the scorching heat engulfed all.
Except me...I was filled with anticipation and excitement. I felt an adrenal rush in my body, heart racing, beads of perspiration glistened on my forehead. Continuous walking made my legs pain. I sat on a hot iron bench my senses were so weakened right now. My heart and soul was focused just on her.
Finally the time has arrived and my most awaited gift came into this world. Ironically the mother died soon after she delivered. There were four of them only she survived.
At that time I was so overwhelmed that, I was oblivious to the sun, the heat, everything.
Its the first time I took her in my arms, the touch made an instant connection.
I looked into her eyes they were closed yet we made an instant affection.
Suddenly I felt something strange a feeling never felt! I brought her home knowing she would be unwanted and abandoned. I was determined to make her life normal like any other. I will fight back for her. Give her the best!
Now I know the feeling that I had when I took her in my arms that day. A mother was born in me. I felt like its a part of me and I can't let her go. First time my eyes welded with tears of happiness and rolled down my cheeks. The tear fell on her eyes and she opened her eyes after two weeks.
I was in an ecstasy of joy... She had the most beautiful eyes I ever saw. The most soulful which I have ever felt. My face was illumined with a smile and seeing at her demeanor I can tell that she was smiling back at me.
I saw a new world in her our rapport and camaraderie was beyond normal human understanding.
She was the most beautiful thing I ever saw...Big colirrium eyes. Fur as white as ice and as rich and rare as ivory. A ebony patch laced her neck like a cravat. I was floored by her gait. Her elegance and grace were worth marveling. The poise with which she carried herself was spellbinding. As time passed we had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun. I always wished that it remains as sunny as this and the clouds never engulf it.
Since then there was no looking back each the bonds grew stronger I loved her even more and she was insane about me. We played ran helter skelter. Always giving each other a chance to win. Oh! it was lovely and lively. I remember how she used to wait for me at the doorstep and greeted me with open arms and a twinkle in the eyes. She fathomed my every emotion every move. Nobody has been as understanding as she was.
She was the first to make me feel special when I felt dejected.
Invigourated me when I was completly exhausted.
Enlightened me when I was dark with negative thoughts.
Helped me cope when I had lost hopes.
Heard my voice even when I was mum.
I love her so much!
We liked similar kind of music as I swayed on them she simply wagged.
If I was right she was left! But we always met.
At night none speak I lay on my bed and she on my lap. Seeing the stars and talking to the moon we dozed off everyday. Life was so smooth and I was loving each day with her.
But it was yesterday I woke up in the morning only to find her dead. She did not move this time nor did she woke up early and teased me with her cold wet nose. She was gone forever never to come back again. I never felt so devastated and destroyed. I felt a wrenching pain as if someone ripped my heart. The mother in me was killed.
Today was her 8th birthday and she left us a day before.My most priced possession was gone. The journey with her was the most adventurous and enriching.
I know you will find this very funny and cynical but indeed its true...She was my pet, my dog CANDY.
I love you and I miss you are too trivial to express how this lose has affected me. None can heal it ever. None can take that place that you had in my life.
Oh! what days...I will cherish them always and relish the sweet memories etched in my heart. I love you so much. You are always in my thoughts so missing you is beyond question. My eyes are moist and hands are numb voice chokes just to think you are gone and dead!
The journey still continues but I have none to hold onto. None to look back to. None to wait for. But I know where ever you are,you are always with me.
The journey is the same but paths are different.
