After Dwayne left, I let Shiloh out to pee and play on her own. Sometimes I have to go find her, and other times she returns within minutes. That night, I had to find her. She usually enjoyed playing in the bushes by the dock, so I checked there first. Imagine my surprise when my stray friend trotted up to me! I was so happy to see him. He looked well-ish. He was clean but still skinny as a rail. Heh, his other girlfriends must have thrown him away. I told him if he came home with me, I would never throw him away. I’d treat him like a king, and he’ll never want anyone else. Tee hee hee.

His fur had gotten so gray, just like Shiloh’s should be. I gave her an Age-Down treat on her birthday because I can’t have my dad and my best girl gone. At least not yet. Something about that thought made me think of Ali, and I did something bold. REALLY bold…
