A fleeting glimpse of bright morning light, only reflected but still glowing.
My old dog, so precious is becoming so fragile and slow.
A walk that required up hill progress and my dog barely able to manage it. I just want to wave a wand and make her young again. The longer we are here, away from the rest of her pack, the slower she is getting. I need to take her back home soon. She has essentially lost her appetite and it breaks my heart to watch her walk away from what have always been her favourite treats.
Even though there is light and energy in the morning, my heart is heavy and sad with this aging of my best ever companion. Now I do have to face my future without her as my shadow - I'm not ready for that.
