Khwezikazi.
They bring her out to the front and she stares at me with an uncertain look in her eyes as she stands at the doors next to the shelters care giver.
"Faye come on, I'm really sorry for leaving you. I promise I won't make that mistake again."
I apologize as she continues to stand there and Just stare at me like I am crazy.
"Don't make me apologize again."
I tell her and she does exactly that. Stand there like the little diva she is. She knows that I've turned desperate at this point and so she's doing to stroke her little ego even she knows she's desperate she barely has a home and I couldn't leave her behind again."Faye..."
I call and there's No response.I feel so dumb right now. I am being put in my place by a dog.
What has become of me ?
I look at the care giver who gives me a polite smile and I also smile at them before I start to kneel infront of her to her level.
"Faye, i know I hurt you and I am sorry, I didn't meant it. I am ready to commit and I promise that I will never leave you again okay ?"
I plead this time and she stares at me for a few more moments before she slowly starts to walk up to me and she stops before me."Come to mama."
I tell her and she leaps onto my arms and brush against her fluffy fur just like I did the day we met and she smiles at me with her eyes and i can't help but smile, she's too adorable.I hold her at arms length and I stare at her.
"If anybody ever told me that I'd have you in my life this time last year I'd have laughed in their face."
I put her close to me as they hand me a leash and she stares at me and at the leash before she stares up at me again.
She doesn't like it.
I put it in my pocket and I bid the Care givers farewell.
I stayed up at night for two whole days trying to fight of the guilt of leaving her behind, the look of betrayal in her eyes haunted me the most and the feeling I had when she turned her back to me struck me many many times throughout that night.
Faye and I had an instant connection, I felt it. I fell inlove with her and she fell in love with me, I almost made the most stupid decision by letting her go and I made sure that I had to make things right. And being with her right now makes my heart so full of joy and it reminds that I didn't make a bad decision by coming back for her.
The paper work from the get go was completely exhausting and at some point I almost gave up but i rememberd the sleepless nights I spent thinking about her, so I thugged it out. It took a few days before i was approved and the agents made sure that my house was conducive enough for Faye untill I was told to come and fetch her. I bought her accessories and her needs way before I got a response from the SPCA and it was going to hurt had I not been approved.
I put her inside of her seat on the passenger seat and i go around the car and we start our drive back home. I drive past a Cafe where they sell dog treats and I make sure that I buy lots and lots and lots of treats before I drive down to street food truck and I buy lots of greasy food for myself and of course i don't care that today is Tuesday Faye is coming home and i am happy for once and I Intend on doing anything in keeping this happiness because lord knows it can lose it at any given time.
When we get home I offload our food and we go upstairs. She sprints into the house when we immediately enter and I smile at her joyous energy.
She barks around and wags her tails and she runs around and I watch her. I open the door to the patio for her and she runs around the patio as we both stare down at the sky line.
