Sasha Lee at 3 months and 3 weeks old. She is losing all her baby hair and she doesn't look as cute as Rocky Lee when he was 3 months old two years back. Anyway, we love Sasha to bits.
Treat me kindly, my beloved friend,
for no heart in all the world is more grateful for kindness
than the loving heart of me.
Do not break my spirit with a stick,
for although I should lick your hand between blows,
your patience and understanding will quickly teach me
the things you would have me learn.
Speak to me often,
for your voice is the world’s sweetest music,
as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail
when your footsteps falls upon my waiting ear.
Please take me inside when it is cold and wet,
for I am a domesticated animal, no longer accustomed to bitter elements.
I ask no greater glory than
the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth.
Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst.
Feed me clean food that I may stay well,
to romp and play and do your bidding,
to walk by your side and stand ready, willing and able to protect you with my life,
should your life be in danger.
And, my friend, when I am very old,
and I no longer enjoy good health, hearing and sight,
do not make heroic efforts to keep me going.
I am not having any fun.
Please see that my trusting life is taken gently.
I shall leave this earth knowing with the last breath I draw
that my fate was always safest in your hands.
