Nose twitching gently as it works. My focus all directed to my one new goal. Paws stepping on the ground with the delicacy of a feline, silent and careful. Such is my concentration, not even a noise can be heard. Even with the earth damp from the recent rain. My dark fur still had that gleam achieved with brushing every morning. An effort not gone to waste, since it made me feel better. My appearance had never been better in years. Once I was skinny. Red dirt would stick to my fur and hide it’s deep blue beauty with the gentle golden speckle on each side. Today, my body is evenly muscled, holding a nice shape. Not too big, not too slim. And all thanks to the training every morning with Amir.

Well, this was my new life. I am happy. Ska is growing. But still, the delicate way she did her things was just as cute as when she was a pup. She still loved owls and always started from the chest. When she sees me bringing one of the feathered creatures on my jaws, that kind smile always appears again. Her tail wags high and it is just like when she was two. My little girl.

It is mostly for her I am here today. My nose searches for the sweet perfume of a white rose. I can swear I saw one here the day I brought Uno. Ska will love the rose. I am sure of it. And there is nothing better than seeing her smile.

I walked between the trees, making my way through them until finally I arrived into the clearing. The golden sun beam shined down right upon it. My blue and yellow eyes fell upon it’s rare form. The white rose. I approached it slowly and looked at the ivory flower. My form came to a halt and I sat down before it. A sigh left my muzzle. Here it is. A smile drawn on my features. She will be so happy.
