A Healing Breeze For Camo…

A Healing Breeze Blows For Camo…

The morning sun was shining as I stood outside

To see what the Pups were barking at

I thought they barked as if little Camo was here

Sadness filled my heart, I knew she had died

 

I looked to my left, my eyes stopped, blinked

What I saw sent a shock through me, could it be

I wasn’t sure I was seeing what I saw

I’ve seen strange, amazing things in my time

 

Camo!  She stopped, turned around to look at me

I saw her little tail high in the air

Her skin looked so bad, she’d lost more hair

My heart hurt at the sight of her

 

Did she come back from the grave?

Our Pups stood staring just as I did

No longer barking… was she really there?

I ran in the house with thoughts to get her a treat

 

I came back outside, through the gate

There she stood as I fed her little treats

I thought she was real… until I ran back into the house

Came back out with medicine for her… she was gone

 

Camo!  Camo!  Camo!  I called her name

It was as if she had never been there

Skip called on the cell phone, I told him what happened

I told him I must be seeing things… she was no longer there

 

He told me if I saw her… she was real

Where did she go… why didn’t she come back to me

I knew she loved me… I loved her, too

A thought came to my mind… she is really alive

 

I called the people who had her, asked them if I could

Have Camo… could she be my puppy?

Later that day, my answer came

Yes, you can have her… my heart soared

 

I never meant to have a third Pup… but, it must be meant to be

Later I went to get her, brought her home

I doctored her, have her in a little fence on our porch

Put soft rugs inside a huge kennel cab

 

The wind is blowing … in my mind it is a healing breeze

I know it helps her skin as the medicine works its magic

I’m going to get Camo well; take good care of  her

You can see by the photo that she has a ways to go

 

She seems to know she is safe, cared for, loved

Her little tail wags for me when I speak to her

I’m so thankful to have her, I cried many tears for her

For a little puppy named Camo, who in my mind had … died

 

I stood outside thanking God for this precious little puppy

Yesterday I was grieving for her, crying many tears for her

I am thankful to have the chance to care for her

I hear the wind chimes as a healing breeze blows for … Camo

 

 

 

NOTE:    Camo has become one of ‘our Pups’… she will be

spoiled, fed good, loved.  Everything is going to be alright…

:)))  Soon, she’ll be running again… inside the Pups’ fence with

Kissy Fairchild, and Chadwick Elsworth!
