An End Is Only A New Beginning

A week after Nara's death, i was so lost and alone with out a dog. I reserched a dog that i have always wanted, an Alaskan malamute. On the internet i found a kennal close to home called J and D kennals, which breed Malamutes. There were 2 recent litters. One would be ready April 28, the other would be ready May 9th. we first visited the older ones. I picked one up but did not feel any connection. So we went to the younger litter and as soon as we opened the top of the puppy kennal all of the puppies picked up their heads, but only one came wobbling over toward me. Her eyes werent all the way open yet. I picked her up and it was love at first sight.I held her up close to my chest and she started knawing on my ear and licking my cheak. Every time i tried to put her back in the kennal she would fight to stay close up to me. I had to ask my sister to get her off so we can see her father. In the end i ended up buying her and i will bring her home May 9th. I am so excited to bring her home. I aslo decided to name her Kiara.

Nara... My Angel

Everything happens for some sort of reason. I just dont understand the reason for Nara's death. I still believe that this could have been prevented, but the Lord was calling for her. It all happened on an ordinary night when Nara came to me wanting to go outside to go to the bathroom. So i got up and started walking to the door. She was so excited that she spun around and hit her head of the wall. She broke her neck and died in my arms. I could remember those beautiful white eyes look up at me on her last breath, but now i know she is looking down on me watching over me. Sometimes I can still hear that playful howl that she made every day i came home for school. I still remember every night she would climb in to bed with me and fall asleep next to me. But i know that where ever i am she is always by my side. Nara was sent to me to show me love, trust, and loyalty. I am still thankful for getting that short time to love her and take care of her and I pray to her every night. I miss her so much and I will never forget her.
