Waking up to the peaceful morning
Last night, in honor of Earth Day and of Arlene passing, we held a small ceremony of recycling. Loca was honored with Arlene’s collar and told this was a very big responsibility. Bam Bam took Arlene’s little bed that Aunt Jer had given her a few holidays ago. Wolfie received her old big bed and since Wolfie is two weeks shy of her heart worm treatment recovery, she was welcomed into the house. Wolfie was also given a middle name like the rest, Wolfie Levee (a nice German Jewish Shepherd).
We woke this morning – all of us – peaceful in our thoughts of Arlene, knowing she was running free at last. My friend sent me these words from Neil Young, who happens to be closing Jazz Fest the last Sunday:
Although these changes have come
With your chrome heart shining in the sun
Long may you run.
