Quiet in this house.
Cindy has gone to hang with her sisters in Northern California. We spent the summer there. It was Lu’s last summer, and maybe her best summer. She got to roam free on endless acres with a pond. She was so alive. It’s a set of precious memories.
When we first got there though, Lu got into the coyote poop, that was available in quantity. It made her pretty sick, and for whatever reason she stopped getting into it. Then there was the close call with the tic disease, which cleared up with antibiotics. After that however, she was like a puppy. She was so happy.
So Cindy is back there now. It’ll be poignant, no doubt. Cindy misses her as much as I do. We’ve been leaning on each other since we lost Lu, and now… we don’t have each other to lean on. She has her sisters. I have the dudes – Bolt and Jax.
And it is quiet in this house.
