Simba, My New Cherished Furry, Was One of the Few Reasons That Made My First Volunteering Program Bearable
Simba looks very much like the beautiful creature on the cover image. There was a good explanation for taking the picture. She didn’t seem to feel alright, but that’s a story for another time.
I spent 3 weeks with my new cherished furry Simba without thinking of keeping any physical memory of her. In such circumstances, I may feel bothered by how present I am!
From the very first day, our bond was instant. I automatically thought of one of my soul friends who told me about the meaning of a dog lying on the back and exposing the belly: pure trust!
Here are some of the reasons for which I feel grateful to Simba:
Her unconditional love
As you may have already guessed from the introduction, she is a creature full of love. Any day is a good day to show her heartwarming affection. She is the first face I see when I wake up — earlier than the group most of the time.
She doesn’t have a kennel, sadly enough. A too old couch in the ‘ecological’ platform is all that she has. It broke and is still breaking my heart that I could not save her and find a real family who could take good care of her.
Before going to the ‘bathroom’ and washing my face, I head in her direction. She recognizes the smell from distance, gets excited, and asks for being pet, which I feel fortunate to offer!
