new friend tully


he's black and white.
a small, smart, long legged fellow.
a terrier mix.
about a year old and very cautious
around big men but
otherwise 
well socialized and a love bug.
after much condsideration
we call him tully.
i saw his bio on the spca website, went to see him
and brought him home
the same day. we've never looked back.
he loves the mountain life 
and i love him.
zu would have loved him, too.

A Beautiful Remembrance by Neil Gaiman

THERE is sorrow enough in the natural way
From men and women to fill our day; 
And when we are certain of sorrow in store, 
Why do we always arrange for more? 
Brothers and sisters, I bid you beware
Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.

                                            -Kipling

dog within


despite his menacing response to anyone knocking at the door, i was lucky enough
to have zu with me at the office. this well worn post-it was more of a 
reminder to friends than a warning to the ups man.

i know i will always have a dog within.
