I rescued a dog and his name is Lion.

I'm going to experiment with this blog some more and try an online entry type thing. We'll see how long that lasts! :P

Dear Lion, 

(simply because no other name could suit you better) 

you stole my heart the day you looked at me, which was months ago. Your eyes had pride, your body had an admirable arrogance and your posture, oh my.. you were a lion in a dogs body! (hence your name) 

I tried to feed you, you never ate. Then I never saw you again. 

Till today. 

Your scar and your eyes told me it was you, but your body seemed to have lost it's vibrancy, you gave up. I couldn't see you like that, so with a lot of help from my friends, I got you off the streets into a vets clinic where you were diagnosed with jaundice. Other problems couldn't be pinpointed because of faulty machinery. 

Well, that was that. 

You didn't have a place to go and I did not want you on the streets so I got you home. 

You saw me cry because I couldn't convince people you were worth the fight. I'm sorry, I wish I had done better. I wish I could truly show you how much you mean to me. But I think you know, don't you? You came closer when you heard my ragged breaths. Thank you for that. 

You haven't eaten still. I don't know what to do anymore. 

You'll be leaving tomorrow and I don't think we'll ever cross paths again. I don't think I'll ever be able to tell you goodbye. 

I loved you once my Lion. I still love you and I will continue to do so. (I can't add a till to that sentence.. there isn't an expiry date). Remember that.
