Nova
is so charming, and the way she can use her eyelashes ;) My little
star is special just because she is a star. When I was younger, all our
deceased dogs went up to heaven and each came to possess one of the
brightest stars at the black sky. I missed them a lot, but to overcome
the loss of the best friends I had in life, I found my comfort in
watching the stars late at nights. I felt them looking down at me as
well as I could see their wonderful beings reflected in the light.
Now I have turned eighteen, and the last dog I had became a star two years
ago. To come to terms with the loss, and also to come to term with the
loneliness that follows from having dogs around for my entire life, to
be all by myself, I have bought a little puppy to give so much love. She
will not replace any of my former sweethearts, but indeed she is
special. She is my first own dog, and I can tell she has already got so
much of my own stubborn personality, but still she is my greatest love
in the world. She is my world.
What makes her special is the name that I gave her, the name I saw in
her from the first day she arrived to our home.
I thought Nova would be short for "Supernova" which in its definition
has a deep meaning for me.
Formal definition: The explosion of a massive star, resulting in a sharp
increase in brightness followed by a gradual fading. At peak light
output, supernova explosions can outshine a galaxy. Astronomers estimate
that a supernova explosion takes place about once a century in a galaxy
like our Milky Way.
It was really once in century that I found my love, I think no other pup
would have suited me better. And, most important, it was a sharp
increase in brightness, which outshined a galaxy. So there she is, among
my friends in dog heaven, but the difference is that she is a shining
star alive, brighter than anything else.
Later, who knows, she might even turn into be a CasaNova;)
