I am grateful for six fantastic years together. I rejoice that he brought joy to so many people.

It was nothing to do with me.  Zion came to me from Lafayette La. as a  ready made dog on a mission -  to spread love and joy 24/7/365.  He did it so well. It was his vocation.

After his death I drove to my friends D and A who live on my route home from the Surgery.  They loved Zion/ZiZi/Mr. Z so much.  But they were taking afternoon naps and did not hear the doorbell.

I continued my journey home - tears rolling down my cheeks.  I 'phoned two other "friends of Z" -  ( F and D)  who loved my boy so much.  We'd been together on Christmas Day. They telephonically shared their tears with mine. 

En route I stopped at a local Drug Store to buy some of my frenemies (They come in packs of 20).  D was on duty.  She asked "where is Zion?"   I told her. She hugged me.  We shed tears together.

D asked if I had some photo's of Zion to send her.  That I did.  A bit later she asked me to stop by the store today (Monday) 

That I did.  Dear and beautiful D had a gift for me. Here it is



A photo' of Z with a neck tie (taken after his recent grooming; after which the tie had been bestowed upon him by the groomer). D had printed and framed it for me. WOW!

There was a spare copy of the photo' which I took to the pharmacy.  It will be placed on an inside wall,  where the pharmacists  M.ria and  M..llisa,,  will "see" him every day.

It's nothing to do with me "the man at the end of the lease".  It's just that I am humbly grateful that G-d/the universe/ the eternal spirit allowed me to have six years of joy, peace, and love

In a State of Shock. From 8:00 - 2:00 today

  Please no 'phone calls.  PLEASE!  (but this news is not private) At 8:00 this morning I took Zion to a local  Veterinarian for a scan of a mass on his jaw. By 12:30 the Vet phoned me with this shocking and unexpected news.  (see below)   How odd that a scan for a lesser issue should reveal the bad news.   I think that the scan was providential. I could have taken him home for what would have been his last two to three possible miserable days but I  decided to say goodbye to Zion there and then.  I stayed with him to the end at 2:00 p.m. I am in shock.  I am grateful for six fantastic years together.  I rejoice that he brought joy to so many people. His remains will be returned to me to be buried near my home, with a flowering shrub planted over them. Thanks for your care John Michael Povey Hello Michael,   I will show you the images when you arrive but essentially what we see on the CT is that he has multiple masses on his spleen and several in his lungs, additionally he has flui

Utterly Wonderful

  80 years equals family Fifty plus of us. My five remaining sibs and their spouses. Nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews. Cousins, second cousins, third cousins A joyful and relaxed family reunion. Super food. Great food for children with activities for them too, including face painting. This 80-year-old child wore a birthday coronet and insisted on having his face painted. A marvelous family reunion; and the greatest celebration of my four score years.
