Maya

Today I say goodbye to my puppy Maya. I know I’m doing the right thing, she gets sick and bullied often but she also waits for my car every afternoon with a big smile and runs ahead of me with her tail wagging. She gets a bone every morning, a walk every afternoon and runs around all day with her siblings.

She sneaks into bedroom when she believes no one is looking and puts her head under my arm. When we chase her out she steals a sock on her way out.

She has the biggest ears and saddest liquid black eyes I have ever seen on a dog. She looks like yoda from Star Wars.

When I think of letting her go time slows down and becomes heavy.
