In Dog Years

Thanks to my middle finger for sticking up for me Though sometimes I can be wrong as wrong can be It's a symbol of resolve With whatever evolves In dog years, I'm dead, so it don't matter, that's guaranteed

She was put down the next day, found out about the meteor the day after that. She died on a Monday, by Friday I had started the adoption process for Rose <3

Asteroid was named for a meteor I saw in daylight just before I got her. When she was succumbing to infection, near 14 years later, it was right when that meteor streaked the southern Ontario skies, the same skies.

It is ruff to live in dog years. But occasionally we all have the need to raise up our middle paws (lol) Love this, Jack
