My Puppy

Skylar Saldutti '26

My puppy… now a puppy with lighter fur between her tired eyes. My puppy that still runs for frisbees just at a slower pace. My puppy that my family brought home from the shelter and let loose in our front yard. When her legs were little and stubby she used to run so fast yet make little to no distance. My brother used to drop her leash and throw the frisbee, showing her how to run and catch. Now older and slower we have to resist the urge to throw her favorite frisbee. As her puppy mind can't comprehend the aging of her elderly body.
