Lily, Love of my Life

Lily is the best dog I've ever had. I adopted her when she was a year and a half from the humane society in Elmsford NY and she came "trained!" But I am not trained. A few years ago I hurt myself protecting her from a cat twisting my three left hand fingers in the leash. This injury will be part of me forever. Last week I broke my foot in three places trying to avoid falling on her in the dark. I have a tendency to see other people's lives flash before my eyes especially my beloved dog. She is my best pal. My runaway imagination must be put to use every second lest I hurt myself.
