one day, a long,long,time ago,as I lay in my concrete room with the cage door,I over heard the guards saying "this ones time is up tomorrow". I sighed and lay my head down.I knew what that ment.I had been here before.I had seen dogs go into the little room in the back,and never come back out.why was I here again? was chewing up a shoe and getting in the garbage crimes punishable by death?then there was a young teenage girl looking in at me.she had street wise eyes and our souls touched.
I heard her speaking to the guards,they told her she was not old enough to "buy" me. and then she left. as I lay there trying to accept my fate a while later I heard her voice again.SHE HAD COME BACK! and she had brought a couple with her. they were old enough to bail me out.
we all piled into an old vw bug. on our way to my new home, she kept hugging me, and I slurped her face. it was the start of my new life.

Life was not easy for the girl and me. we had some really ruff times.but we had each other, so we would make it thru.when I forgot myself and chewed up her shoe, she just laughted,and said she would have broken her neck with heels like that. when I got in the garbage, she bought a hook for the door. when I figured out how to open the hook, she told me I was too smart for my own good.
twice when things got really bad, she had to put me in foster care while she got things sorted out.the second time when she came for me she had my new daddy. things never got as bad again.he was a wonderfull man. but took some training. he learned quick.

life was good for along time.

then came the lump. it grew,dr said it should be removed, so I had surgery.
they said the test came back benign,but it was wrong.
I never healed. I got worse.I was so sick, and in so much pain, mom decided it was time to stop.so she gave me a last tear filled kiss and hug, she took all my pain away.

now I am the Keeper. when mom and dad send peices of their heart to the rainbow bridge, I go get them. I keep us all together.
waiting for the day we all play together again.

And if I go, while you are still here...
Know that I still live on,
Vibrating to a different measure,
Behind a thin veil that you cannot see through.
You will not see me, so you must have faith.
I will wait there for the time when we can soar together again, both aware of each other.
Until then, live your life to the fullest.
And when you need me, just whisper my name in your heart,
...I will be there.
