Saki (Furry Fever Series)

The sun has started to set, painting the sky beautiful shades of pink and orange, though the beauty of the scenery is lost on you. It has been another long week of work. As you pull into your small driveway and park your car, you let out a sigh; your thoughts turn to Saki, your dog. You rescued her from the shelter a few years ago. She is a good dog, sweet and affectionate. Always excited to do anything with you. She has brought a lot of joy to your monotonous life. However a couple months ago, a global pandemic hit, and it only affected domesticated animals. Later dubbed the “Furry Fever,” it rapidly spread, effecting pets and livestock around the world. And just a few weeks ago you learned that Saki caught the disease. Saki is no longer just a pet dog. She has changed so much, both physically and mentally due to the illness. You are still unsure how to handle this new development. You exit your car, your house keys jingling in your hand. As you ready yourself to enter your home, you decide to be ready to do your best to be there for Saki in her time of change. You walk through the front door and announce that you have returned home.
