The beauty comes in the journey from pain and frustration to healing and comfort.
Cora the Determined Dog
She's not giving up, in spite of her limitations. Blind, only 3 legs & brain damaged she's stubbornly navigating through life.

Cora is a Healthy, Wonderful Pup

Perhaps this is why I haven't been able to write because I'm still not finding the words I want. How can I say what it's like to have quiet when before there was the ongoing barks of frustration and what I now know was pain? How can I explain the settled feeling, as we navigate through life without the chaos? Something as simple as taking her harness off and on, becomes meaningful, when it was such a battle before. Then there's the relief I felt when Cora stepped on the scale and her weight had gone up. She's still just a pup but she stopped growing when she injured her stump. It's such a relief to have a growing pup.I don't want to explain how I feel, when I think about the fact she's been in pain the whole time I've had her and I didn't really understand. I am profoundly grateful she is finally leaving pain behind. And I will never be able to explain what it's like to sit and cuddle with my beautiful, courageous Cora. I've stepped inside her world and she's entering the world of a healthy, loved dog.
Cora tonight, tired after her longest walk ever. |
