Before Tomorrow's Facebook Deluges re the So Called Debate; and the Solemnities of 9/11

 


I encountered two very pleasant young women at Bayfront Park today.  *I'd done so previously  -  but was a long while ago.  One said "you have a new dog".  Cooper was sweet with them.

I told them that Zion had died last Januarysince. 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.

* Clearly we had not seen each other since January. We often meet regulars at the park.  But with as little a time difference as three minutes we can miss.

*********************************************

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.

Many of you never met my first Sarasota Rescue.  It's Penne, a sweet and gentle girl if ever there was one.

We used to visit my friends Ron and Char.   One day their brother-in-law D  was visiting -  he who was a bit afeard of dogs.  Penne won his heart -  he became a dog lover!

Penne would stay with Ron and Char when I traveled. She became Char's shadow in my absence.

When I returned he would stage such unbridled excitement and joy; worthy of the dramatic ending of an over the top opera.
