Home Additions

“I wonder why this dog is here?” Chester questions as he watches a strange mutt wander his yard beside the driveway. He stands still and tall as he sees a tiny dog sniffing around the flower gardens.

After several minutes, Chester decides to move cautiously toward the visitor and companion strolling the grass. He walks along the pavement with his nose to the ground for smells he may discover to help him learn about these sightseers. Little did Chester know these guests were his new roommates.

Rachell steps closer to Chester as he inches toward the pooch. She is unsure what to expect from either animal, so she reaches down and scoops Chester up in her arms so he can observe from a safe place. Rachell feels his heart racing as he looks on without averting his eyes. Rachell is providing a roof over their heads with understanding they have no where else to go. She prays these additions to the household will not be any problem for Chester.

Rachell hugs Chester and holds him close to her heart assuring him that everything will be fine.

“I’ve got you little man. I won’t let anything hurt you,” she tells him.

Rachell feels Chester relax in her arms and calms herself. He wriggles tight to her chest.

Chester trusts her words thinking, “As long as I have Rachell to protect me, I’ll be OKAY!”
