Arrival Story: i had just put my baby, Cecil, to sleep a week before Christmas 2001, the worst day of my life. i said "NO MORE DOGS, ever." two months later, friends told me there were pups i may want to see at the Santa Monica pound. LOVE at first sight. his first day at the dog park, a lady recognized him as one of the pups she'd found in a box by the side of the road and turned in. since 2/26/02, it's just been Christmas every day -- it don't get old.

Bio: just moved home to upstate New York, but working our way back to Manhattan...

when i first saw him at the Santa Monica Shelter, i melted inside. when i brought him home, as he was being housebroken, i had no idea i would be sleepless for a month. when he chased his first leaf or that stray ray of sunshine, i remembered wonder. when his neck caught in a car window and his paws slipped from under him, as i ran to him in those seconds when i thought he'd died, i felt total fear. when his big belly and his little legs came bumbling to me from clear across the park, the first time i called him, i glowed with pride. most of all, the first night together, as he fell asleep in his crate, i put my nose inches away, taking in the puppy breath, the pound-puppy stinkiness, the quiet of his breath, i knew peace.
Charlie makes me be the best person possible, whether i feel like it that day, whether i want to or not. because when his ears pin down his head and the smile breaks across his face -- what else CAN i be? This is a special Tail of Devotion
