Eli, Part II, Hide Your Heart
It had been far too long since I'd had a dog. As much as I loved my husband and kids, my heart ached for more. I needed a furry companion.
Days crawled by despite my busy schedule. I was working full time while raising an eight year old and a two year old. It was November of 2001 and the holidays were fast approaching.
Since meeting Eli on November 8th, I had thought of little else. The play ran for 10 days so I knew, and I warned my boys, that we would not find out if he would be coming to live with us until after the 18th.
