Under The Vancouver Sun

PUSS HAD JOY



PUSS HAD FUN



PUSS HAD SEASONS IN THE SUN

Empty Chair

Empty is
The muskoka chair
Which empty seats
Puss used to sit
Under the sun
To savor the warmth
That he adores

Empty is
The muskoka chair
Casting shadow
On the lawn
A lonely silhouette
Under the sun
Cold and shivery
Remembers the warmth
A black cat has brought

Not Our Happy Reunion

Biscuit, the stolen Jack Russell Terrier reported in the Metro and 24 Hours yesterday, reunited with his owner the same day.

Today's Vancouver Craigslist got another reunion post on a lost cat, Sebastian, having been found by his owner after one month.

It's always good to hear of happy reunions, and we look forward to having ours with Puss the soonest.

90 days have passed, but we're not going to give up.

It's Better than a Paid Ad - We'd love it!

Today, at least in two of the city's many free newspapers, namely the Metro and 24 Hours, I read about a couple offering a reward for the safe return of their stolen Jack Russell Terrier, Biscuit. In the piece of news are the dog's picture, details of the event, description of the couple's efforts and their contact information. The one in 24 hours occupies a 3" x 4" space, the one in Metro is much larger.

I know it must not have been the posters and flyers they have put up that matters, but they must know someone or this someone who have connections to these contributing writers. No I'm not jealous, having understood too well why networking is so important.

While some paid to advertise in the lost & found section in the papers attracting minimum attention, how much difference in terms of readership and impact it makes for having the same piece put in the news reporting section.

Wow, how we long for this!

Sniffy's Dream

Hey Sniff, you're tired? I'll be quiet.

Are you having some sweet dreams?

Dreaming of a sunny day you roam and play with your best pal PUSS? I'll not awake you.

Does the scent of the green grass refresh all the precious memories? I'll not disturb you.

Have a good nap, Sniff.

If...A Birthday Wish

If he had not passed away in February, today he would be celebrating his birthday.

If he had survived pneumonia, he would have to battle his prostate cancer.

If he had recovered from prostate cancer, he would have to amputate his right leg below the knee.

If he had been fortunate to save his right leg, he would have to see with his eyes blurred by diabetic macula edema.

If he had been able to cure macular edema, he would have to walk with an artificial limb.

If he had the luck to keep his left leg, he would have to follow a strict diabetic diet that he disliked greatly.

What if he were in a world where he was healthy. If he could walk and run with his born limbs. If he could see clearly. If he could eat freely. If he could join my mom and eldest sister where their souls were set free from their rotten bodies.

Happy Birthday, my father, you're now at liberty.
