Darth Fitzi revisited
One year later, this photo still greatly amuses me. Fitzi, right in front of me with stick in mouth and in a very high pounce, invites me to play.
Monitors
Though Fitzi is curled up on a dog bed in the living room, he still monitors what goes on in the kitchen.
A tree for Achilles.
You may remember that we let go of Achilles, aka Chili Dog, earlier this year.
Our vet clinic is in a network which gives people who let go of a pet, buy and plant a tree in the pets’ memory. So there’s been an informal ceremony every October since the year 2000. The municipality generously allows this to happen in a public park. We’ve planted trees for BoJo, Kendal, and Stella. So of course we bought a tree for Achilles. I put in a request for specific species, a Red Oak (Quercus rubra), which is native to both Texas (where he and I came from) and Ontario.
The ceremony was today and it’s a fine October day – mostly sunny, cool, and breezy. I was very, very pleased to find a healthy Red Oak sapling tagged with Chili’s name. So we planted it. It was no trouble at all, just like Achilles was. It’s near Stella’s and Kendal’s trees.
I may not live long enough to sit in its shade. That’s fine.
A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in. -Greek proverb
Still the coolest
Still the coolest rope toy on the face of the earth.
The coolest thing.
This rope toy is the coolest thing ever and I’m going to run around with it.
A pretty girl.
I came across this photo while paging through files.
Lucy was a pretty girl a year ago, wasn’t she? I can assure you that she still is, always will be.
