Across
- 2. The color of wood, of the earth. The color of those big, sweet eyes as she gazed up at me. Young, scared, but so, so gentle.
- 6. The structure of most animals. Hers are slowly becoming less visible as she gains weight.
- 10. A feeling of deep care for something else. She deserves so much. I make sure she knows I love her.
- 11. An expression of joy. The face I swear she looks at me with every day when I call her a good girl and give her hugs.
Down
- 1. To develop or become larger. Something she wasn't able to do in an environment with so little warmth and care.
- 3. Bones in the upper chest. The bones I could see showing through her skin. How little had they been feeding her?
- 4. The body part that balances most quadrupedal animals. It wagged so hard when I gave her a name and found her favorite scratching spot.
- 5. The place where one resides. She'd gone so long without one. I hope she knows that's where she is now.
- 7. Responsible for sight, for the ability to look. She looked at me with so much innocence and love.
- 8. As in stereo-. One of my worries with her. A black pit bull attracts many negative associations.
- 9. All colors. The colors of the sweater I spent too much money on for her.
