Before the "debates"; and before our important solemnities re 9/11
I encountered two very pleasant young women joggers at Bayfront Park this morning *I'd done so previously - but that was a long while ago. *
We had not seen each other since January. We often meet regulars at the park. But with as little a time difference as plus or minus three minutes we can miss each other.
One said "you have a new dog".
Cooper was so sweet with them.
I told them that Zion had died last January. They grew sad. One commented that Z was an exceptionally wonderful dog. The other agreed. That drew no argument from me.
My sadness re Zion resurfaced for a minute. Then came gladness that my dear Z had brought so much joy to so many people. That was his ministry.
*********************************************
Cooper and I are doing so well. He is as wonderful Zion was, but in many different ways.
I adopted him on June 12th 2024. Acting on a whim I took him to the Humane Society today so that I could tell the adoption counselors that C and I are doing so well together.
They appreciated my visit and were happy to see C. I told them that C is overtly affectionate, and loves to cuddle.
They were not surprised. It turns out that he had been a staff favourite. But of course!
Our Meet and Greet at HSSC on June 11th. We sealed the deal the next day.
