• Beloved Pugg

   

  Pugg       Pugg was a wonderful friend. Gentle, affectionate and very protective. Father had always warned her there was danger in all the waters and to always be careful of all creatures, but Pugg was so different. She had first met Pugg early that summer while playing in the surf. At first she was frightened of the creature but, way too curious to just leave it alone. Everyday she would see Pugg in the shallow waters around the large sandbar playing with others. It took time and many false starts before she got the courage to approach and soon realized that Pugg was making that same effort. Pugg was so beautiful and you could see the love that sparkled in those eyes. At first there were gentle caresses followed in time with wonderful hugs. Playing with Pugg became total joy.     But, in time, she knew Pugg had to return to her own kind and move on. There was such sadness when that time finally came. They said goodbye in the shallows and even though she could not understand the strange sounds of her friend, she did know that they were kind and loving.     She never saw Pugg again. Often she would come back and swim around the large sandbar looking and maybe hoping but, alas, she would never see her friend again. Sad, she truly missed this special being she called Pugg…….the human child.
