I broke into tears when I learned of her passing away. 4 glorious years she has helped me cope with my own demons, the suffering and pains, loneliness, etc.

I had her as an young adult. I never asked for her to follow me, she just started following me. And I just kept taking care of her. Then very soon she was sleeping at my bed with me. Keeping each other warn during the harsh desert winters.

Occasional walks with her when I could. She grew onto me quickly. She treated the kids nicely and stayed in her own lane avoiding potential psychopathic behaving fools, whether adolescent or old. diddnt matter.

She would bark but rarely would she give a bite to someone. She only did so when provoked or if she felt that I was in danger. But If I intervene, she listened. Only a few times I let her chase away some stupid punks for doing stupid things like intenting to graffiti my walls with gang affiliated bs.

She really is a hero more than what the neighbors care to know about.

Many times she has helped me out with getting out of bed when my back just decided to not work with me. Being my assistant. She was really good at that.

She had many children. 14 are still alive spread out over the town and the next city over. the rest, in majority, have been buried right in my back yard. They died very very young.

Now their mother lays near them becoming compost slowly.

I want to plant a tree over her grave and set a marker in her name. As a reminder for all the she put up with and gave out just for being her. She has taught me many things just from observing her.

She was a disobedient dog and I loved her for it.
Come inside.
No lets go for a walk.
Ok lets walk, AFTER the sun sets.

I aint going to go into the details and how I found her but I was not going to leave her there like some trash thrown out the window. Not after all we been through. So much untold history of bonding.

I buried her close to her children. As her children are currently underneath my garden of medicinal cannabis.

She loved to lick you to death. If your elbows were close to her as she walked by while your sitting down, your gaurenteed a lick. It was her way of greeting I guess. I'm not a dog whispering expert. I did my best to provide for her. She was my personal therapeutic pitbull who loved to chase cops on their motor bikes.

Giving them a taste of their own medicine.

Her name was Moth. But in spanish it is called Polilla. I called her mostly as Poli.

Poli chased cars. Poli chased the poli. And now Poli is chasing a new form of life.

Chassing was her instinct. She did it for fun. She lived a good life I believe. Fed well. Was really strong and took no shit from other dogs even evil humans.

Whenever we would walk, she would always run ahead and look back to see if I was still there. If I decided to go another way, I would whistle and she smwould turn and see me heading another way and continue her way of walking. Scouting ahead.

I can not account the many times I have caught people trying to hurt her just for walking by. They always run back into their homes when I yelled to put down whatever they were going to throw. Sometimes it would be litteraly a brick.

I have no sympathy for most people. I have to observe first how any human really is, before I could even contemplate of having them as a friend.

Me and Poli had many things in common like being abused physically throughout the childhood. And even still, she manages to not be a danger to anyone else. Unless you deserved it by being an aggresor for no reason at all apart from your delusions of fear.

I have much I could say about her but I want to keep those memories to myself.

Here lies Poli. A good family member and friend. She lived her life her way.

I have yet to fix the ground around her. I will do that tomorrow. Meanwhile I pondered on what tree would be appropriate for her and I have decided. A Pomegranate tree as they grow well here. They love the warmth and areas where the soils drains good.

This is the last dog that I still care for now. Apart from the cats, which they don't require slexial attention.

This one suffered a major trauma early in life before I found her and is just starting to get accustomed to having some bravery to leave the home.

Trying to get her to walk with me is proving to be a challenge. I don't use leashes. I don't like them. Never needed them. I refuse to use them.

I call her "trompuda" sometimes but she usually gets called Momo. Momo will inherit what Poli had. A queen sized mattress bed and now it seems, better quality food for her.

✌️🙏

Very sorry to hear of the loss of your beautiful girl. I lost my boy a couple of years back, people could learn a lot from their loyalty and emotional intelligence.

Thank you.

Most definitely.

I saw a video once a couple years back, I can not remember it entirely, not even the title, and it contained a list of positive things a human can be and most wanted to be. Like unconditional love and forgiveness, etc etc etc. The point is that it mentioned so many things a human could improve on and when it finished it said something along the lines of:

"If you can do and be what I just mentioned then you, are at the level of a dog"

And I was like woah lol. Not even human yet. What makes us "human" then?

Yea, we could learn alot from our loyal companions.
