Today I awoke to the sound of a bark,
for a moment I thought it to be a lark.

My Reeta was standing there looking up at me,
seeing her being herself again caused me great glee.

She insisted on going out, then wanted her treat,
first time shes asked me in two days, so that was neat.

Just goes to show you, life goes on no matter what our conditions,
we fall back into daily patterns, while following our traditions.
