Gabby, my tiny lion-heart. The moment I'd walk through the door, her whole world would shift. From a sleepy ball of fluff to a tornado of joy in mere seconds. That little Pekingese body would propel her towards me, a blur of pure excitement. Her tail, a tiny helicopter blade, would spin with such frenzy it was a wonder it didn't take off. I could hear her happy yaps from a mile away, a sound that filled my heart with warmth. The way she'd throw herself into my arms, her whole world contained in that tiny, loving body – it was a love like no other.
