My Baby Girl

My baby girl never used to like me
She only liked my mom because my mom wouldn't annoy her or pick her up
My baby girl is funny
She doesn't really understand things very well
She is what we call "a scardeycat" because she pretends she is so tough, but really she is a coward
My baby girl had a traumatic past before she came to our home
She was abused and went from home to home because no one wanted her
My baby girl went to school when she first came to us, but she failed because she was too social
My baby girl started feeling crummy recently
She was vomiting everyday
She was drinking 5x as much water as usual and peeing all of the time
She was having accidents in the house
She stopped giving me the usual nasty looks she would give me when I entered the room
My baby girl went to the doctor's and we found out she has diabetes
My baby girl gets vaccinations everyday now
I think she is feeling better because she occasionally gives me nasty looks when she doesn't want me to be around her
My baby girl likes me now
Now I have been treating her much more gently and considerately because I found out about her sickness
I took into account that she is a living being too and needs sweet and gentle care
My baby girl is my dog
