Me: Before I found you I could feel you calling out to me.
Dog: Then why did you drive straight past the pet shop so many times?
I thought I was looking for a dog that needed rescuing.
You were. I guess most people don't think about pet shops as horror stories.
Then, when I finally found you, I was sure my new puppy was supposed to be a girl so I made you wait.
Worst night of my life.
Worst night of my life.
I'm sorry. By morning I knew I had to hurry back.
I shook all night long, and just imagined being curled up inside your belly.

I was looking for you, I didn't know New Zealand was so far away.
It took me a long time to learn that we understood each other best when I didn't use words.
I can't believe all you wanted me to do was pee on the grass.

Thanks for being there when I needed you most.
Thanks for all the walks, snacks and letting me lick you.
I hope my dreams about the future didn't make you feel like you had to go away.
Remember I had health problems, I was never meant to get old.

I saw that car coming. Why didn't you stop when I yelled NO?
It was time to go. We were both ready... I wanted to go out with a bang!
That's not funny.
Really? Admit it. My timing was always perfect.
Ok I admit it. You could have warned me though.
I did. 3 times.

I'm sorry I covered your face, before your last breath.
I felt safe, like I was in you. I just closed my eyes and went to sleep.

| Ashton 30/5/2005 - 30/5/2009 26 Greatest loves of my life. Dog #atozchallenge |
The day I brought Ashton home, I had a premonition that he would only live for 4 years. I expected him to be around much longer. These are all conversations I've had with him, either while he was alive or in my dreams.
The Captain found me a few weeks after Ashton died. If Ashton was still alive I would never have even entertained the idea of moving to the other side of the world. I might have rescued him when he was a pup, but he saved me too.
Have you got a love story of the non-human kind? Please share in the comments, I love to read them.
