Chloe is a Chihuahua
a "rescue" dog
No she did not rescue me
I rescued her
given up as a 9-month old pup
6lbs when she should be 10
patchy fur
skin sores
With food and love
she's full weight
glossy coat
flawless skin
She hops up onto Brian's lap
and burrows inside his fluffy bathrobe
enjoying heart-to-heart love and warmth
And I lied earlier
She did rescue me
whatever my day
she welcomes me
everything I do
fascinates her
all that rustles
must be a treat
wherever I am
she must be
her curiosity and delight
with the world
is contagious
we rescued and captured
each other's heart
Chloe . . . gratefulness embodied
