A Best Friend Never Forgotten

Daily writing prompt
What is good about having a pet?

The truest companion you would ever know

They love you unconditionally

You’ve been gone for an hour

To them, it feels like five

An eternity

They forgive you for your selfishness

Your stupidity

And you forgive them with one brush against your leg

A whimper, sad eyes that speak to your soul

Compelling you to connect, especially in a world where it is lacking

They will never lie to you

Let you down

Judge you

They are the shoulder to lean on

The ear to whisper into when no one else is around

They will never steal from you (maybe your food once in a while)

They are the best friends you could ever have

So take care of them!

    I’m not crying….I’m not. But those hose eyes.

    Makes me think of my beagle Romeo and Husky Xena. It’s been over 20 years…and as insane as they were…I still miss them.

    It also makes me think of those I’ve lost and will loose…I’m in my feelings.

    Thank you for sharing this piece…Sharing Luna.

    I feel lighter for reading it. Words can be so powerful and mean so many things so many people…that is its power…and I was touched by it.

    1. No matter how long it’s been, they become a part of us and take a piece when they leave us. But we never forget them and how much joy and light they added to our lives when they were with us! I am sure Romeo and Xena act as your guardian angels giving you invisible hugs when you need them! Thanks for reading!

About the blog

I initially created my website to share my work with fellow writers. After taking a break for several years, I recently returned and turned one of my projects into a book titled “Guilty,” which I will be releasing at the end of February 2025! This has been an incredible journey, and I’m excited to see what comes next once this project is complete. Thank you for visiting! Please take a look at my work over the years and feel free to leave feedback—I truly appreciate it, whether it’s positive or constructive!
