The Southern Bell : As Told By Rosebud 🐾
Well now, sugar, I reckon if you’d told me back when I was wandering through the mesquite and stickers out in West Texas that I’d end up living like a proper oil heiress, I’d have thought you’d spent too much time in the midday sun. Back then, my coat was a tangled thicket of burrs and limestone dust, and my poor old paws were plumb worn out from that scorching caliche.
But then, the Good Lord saw fit to lead me right to my foster mama. She’s got a touch as gentle as a Gulf breeze and a heart bigger than the Houston skyline. Nowadays, my biggest chore is deciding which sweater suits my mood. I’m mighty partial to my soft cable-knit—it keeps the "Blue Norther" chills from settling in my weary bones and makes me feel real elegant when we head into town.
There ain’t nothing more precious than the quiet of a warm home. I spend my afternoons curled in my gingham bed, tucked right there in the passenger seat where I can keep an eye on the horizon. But the real blessing is when Foster Mama calls me over for a long sit-down. I might be an old gal, but I’ve still got plenty of love to give. I’m almost ready for my forever family honey and life is just fine and dandy.
