It's been a year already.

That was one of the last good photos I took of She-Wolf, three days before we lost her. it had been a while coming; we gave her three months beyond what anyone thought was doable, and they were good months. She had only the one night that was not so great, and the vet came out the next morning.

At 9:27 AM, I went out and gave her cedar and tobacco and fresh water at her resting place. It's still impossible to believe she's gone, much less that she's been gone a year, this little girl who showed up at the gallery one day and never really left. She was about as close as it gets to pure love, and given the diabetes of her last few years (a result of being starved so badly her first year of life), her eventual blindness (which we managed to stave off, mostly, for nearly three years beyond what they said could be done), and then the fast-moving cancer that took her from us too soon, we were blessed to have her as long as we did.

We love you, She-Wolf. You're never out of our heart, baby girl.
