"My Shadow"
by Carrie Tawney
Even though I only have two legs, my shadow has four. Of course it's my Daisy - these days I call her my Velcro Girl. Ever since we got our housing she won't let me out of her sight, fearing that I will leave her and not come back. Like when we were homeless - whenever I went to a shelter, in order to qualify for housing, I had to leave her with a friend. Being homeless truly affected her. Don't tell me that animals are dumb. She is so very smart and can sense some things even before I do them.
Thank you God for blessing me with my little shadow and my best friend.

Any and all queries should be directed to Kevin Neil either in person or at
