A morning kiss, a discreet
touch of his nose landing
somewhere on the middle
of my face.
Because his long white
whiskers tickled,
I began every day laughing.

'Cats make one of the most satisfying sounds in the world: they purr
... A purring cat is a form of high praise, like a gold star on a test
paper. It is reinforcement of something we would all like to believe
about ourselves - that we are nice.' - Roger A Caras
"Of all the [cat] toys available, none is better designed than the
owner himself. A large multipurpose plaything, its parts can be made to
move in almost any direction. It comes completely assembled, and it
makes a noise when you jump on it." -- Stephen Baker

DANDY LION
23rd August 2009
Dandy passed peacefully this
afternoon after a long bout with "everything." I just came in from burying him
facing the desert sunrise. He was at least 9 yrs. old, possibly more. I've had
him since March '04. He was the first dog I adopted after my devastating fire
and for the first 5 months, he thought he was my only dog, until my 4 survivors
arrived back from foster care after 5 months. From then on, he still thought
he was my only dog. He went everywhere with me; he wasn't a "dog," he was an
"accessory." He meant everything to me.
His nickname was "Schnickelfritz,"
given to him by a 90 yr. old Alzheimer’s patient who loved him. I named him
Dandy Lion, because he was a dandy who thought he was a lion. I'd only had him a
short time when he went up to a 90 lb. neighbour's dog; the dog shook him like a
rat, gave him a concussion and broke four ribs. That made the little genius
pursue other dogs even more vigorously. I've laughed these past several weeks
because KoKo, the wolf-hybrid I recently adopted, would try to play with Dandy,
who'd lose his temper and chase off KoKo.
I'm going to "unplug" my life
for a while, go float in my pool where the tears will wash away. I know you all
know what this feels like. This is the fifth loss for me this year. (Thankfully
the rest are younger and completely healthy.) But this was also a particularly
hard loss. As much as we try to not show favouritism,
me - the wolf and big dog guy - adored that demanding bit of cantankerous fluff
as much as humanly possible.
Attached is Dandy pictured in
the animal control shelter on death row before I adopted him. He'd been found
wandering the streets and bit the AC officer. And then with me the first spring,
in a field of his namesakes. That is how I will always remember him.
