CCL and I have a new addition to the family. Koko is a pebble grey and brown domestic short hair . She was named by the folks at the Washington Animal Rescue League where we got her. Right now she is visiting me and perhaps inspired by the Olympics she is flying through the house, doing regular balancing acts on the upstairs staircase beam and giving poor Jean Claude fits.
Koko At A Glance
I admit there were times I took Roxie’s presence for granted and now she is gone. As I’ve said many times now in this blog I think she would be happy if her owners kept on moving forward and grew from the tragic experience that took her from this planet. I am therefore starting a new feature on this blog aimed at humans, and other creatures entitled “Cat-List” for Change. I guess the first lesson for “Cat-List for Change” is to tell those you love you love them as often as possible. You can never say it enough or exhibit it enough. Giving is what makes your world grow.
It’s day four after the vicious dog attack that left our precious Japanese bobtail Roxie dead. The sanitation department asked us to put her body in a trash bag or box beside the trash can last Friday. We did so before the vicious storms that attacked the D.C. area. But today- day four after her death – Roxie’s remains remain in the back alley behind the yard. Sunday I arrived home from a family trip I took the day of Roxie’s demise to find Jean Claude calling for Roxie, looking under the bed, running to the basement to announce my arrival from the trip. He hollered most of the night. It had been suggested I take Jean Claude to the bag with her remains and let him know that she has moved on- but some said not to do so because it would make him sad and protective of her space. Calls to the sanitation department so far have not resulted in no action. I realize the storm clean up is taking up a lot of time but hopefully the matter will be resolved today. Tomorrow is a holiday and I’m certain Roxie would like everyone to have a good time.
Men, regardless of race, ethnicity or sexual preference, definitely have certain points of commonality. Well first off they are men. As a woman who loves herself and loves men I must say with fondness I find men amusing, wonderful yes, but amusing as well. I write this as Jean Claude has gone out for another run in the rain outdoors. This morning he pulled all of the clothes out of my closet drawers (again).
