Nala ray

2010 - 2022

Ten years ago I walked into the shelter lost and confused and just wanted to end everything. Life to me wasn’t worth it anymore. Nala girl here stood out to me something about this precious girl. Her greeting to me was biting my hands I spent an hour at her cage contemplating life. I left that night all. Did was think about her thinking how just as confused she was. The next day I went again. I received the same greeting from her. I immediately went and filled out an application. Days went by with no word, so I called on her status. I was informed that it was between me and another family and that family was taking her. I begged to see her one last time. They obliged and off I went she was outside doing her final greet with her forever family. We locked eyes and suddenly she came running to me I cried she wiggled her butt in excitement. I said goodbye to the dog that on the day I didn’t want to live woke me. The next day I received a call saying Nala is yours, she picked her forever mom. I rushed to get her I was so excited I brought her home and instantly she was my shadow. over the years every so often I’d wake up to her sticking her nose in my mouth I never knew why until I was told I sometimes stop breathing in my sleep. This chick would startle me so I would snap out of it. she’d read my vibe when I got home to know which Nala she was going to be, she’d steal my jacket in the winter and lay on it and refuse to move so I didn’t leave. Whenever I was sad or depressed she’d pin me down to lick me the more I laughed the crazier the licks were. Thru the years she helped me get thru all the bad in my life , she knew me and how to get me out of it. Over the last two years she’s had many medical situations a few big surgeries and never did I hesitate. I would have sold my soul for you Nala. Our last night together was a normal night we stared at the moon for awhile you fought with the blankets before bed. 5 am you woke me with just one odd stretch and that’s when the nightmare began. I would have done anything to save you like you saved me so many times. I went into the shelter not knowing I myself was going to be saved , saved by a crazy ,loving not so scary pitbull. If I could do it all over again I would in a heartbeat!!! I hope you’re chasing cows up there. And don’t forget to greet me when my time has come.
