Phoenix Maplewood Prayer

"No, she was different. It was hard enough for the others to accept her. She challenged them time and time again. She was lighter than the others as well,more of a silver than a grey. She didn't believe in their ways but when I came along they had a way to make her submit. I don't think she ever truly loved any of her pups the same as me,except maybe my brother Demecus. They loved me,"she explained further. Her brother was still alive somewhere as far as she knew or she would have prayed to him as well. Her mother was the only she knew of to pass so far. Except the other two runts of her mother's other litters who hadn't lived long enough to be named. She sometimes wondered if they would have been like her. If they had been treated the same maybe it was a blessing they had passed painlessly.
