One year ago today.

A year ago today, I lost my little girl.

It feels like yesterday. How can one little dog take so much of my heart?

My Little Girl

I can still remember, the day she came to me
The last one in a litter of ten, from the old Husky

You were born on the day after everyone else
October 12, 2000, instead of the 11th like everyone else.

You looked smaller than a newborn kitten, even though you were a dog
I was sure you could not make it, in this life that is so hard.

I held you in my palm and fed you every hour
I waited for your life to end, but you had a special power

You were just a little squiget, about 3 inches long
I knew I couldn't name you, because soon you would be gone

But you didn't go, you stayed and stayed
and after a few weeks
Your ears unplugged, eyes opened up,
and then you gazed a me.

Such a little Squiget, always smaller than the rest
But you knew that name, and who I was
God knows, you were just the best.

You grew up and spent 6 years, side by side with me
Riding together, sleeping together, being the best that you could be

And now this day, August 19,2007, my world was torn apart
You met a pig, a fight ensued, and the results have broke my heart

You were always my protector, and I knew you would not let
those wild pigs into our domain, so you gave your all instead.

Not all in vain, my loyal friend - they paid the ultimate price,
But my heart still breaks, as I saw you, protect us with your life.

So now you sleep, forever more, in the darkness of the ground
But you will always live, inside of me, and you will always be around.

No matter how much I miss you, wild pigs can not erase
My love for you, my Squiget dear, and the memory of your sweet face.
