Two days shy of 16 years ago, a scraggly stray wandered into our home and adopted herself into our family. She refused to leave us and became my little sister. She waited for me to come home from high school. She jumped happily when I grabbed my CD player, knowing it was time for a walk in the woods. She would run and explore but come running home at the click of her leash. She loved her collar like a gorgeous necklace, and would put it on herself if you just held it for her. She even loved to roll in purfume sprayed on the floor, so she could smell just like my mother.

The last two years she has been going down hill, blurry vision, arthritis in her hip, and sore joints, but that never stopped her from playing like a little puppy again. Draggyun's Corgi Ein bought her those few more years, keeping her active and giving her someone to play with when we were not around.

Today, not long before this post,,,,, She passed. She drowned in the pool in the few minuets she was left alone when my mother stepped inside. The same pool I swore she was safe around because I knew she didnt like the water. She was there for so many years when I needed her, and I was not there for her.

Atleast her joints no longer ache, her hips no longer hurt, and her eyes are once more clear. I will love her and miss her but as terrible as it is to lose her, the pain is over. She lived a good and well loved life. Sleep, Sheba. Ill always love you too.
