Faithful Companion

Written last night:

Dear Friends,
This past week I’ve been recording Zing! when I leave him alone — not in the nervous way of before, but I’ve been told he barks sometimes, and I want to see just how much so I can tell the vet. Maybe he needs a medicine update. He did bark three times tonight, at about half-hour intervals -- maybe when he hears the elevator. We’re getting this down to a science. I want us to be comfortable when I leave him alone.  The neighbors are more than understanding — they’re solicitous. Everyone loves Zing! But one neighbor is a night nurse and he sleeps all day. So I'm watching you, Zing!

We also drove to the countryside around Winters, CA, today. I’m going to the art-farm event there early tomorrow, and don’t want to get lost. Along the way the sunflowers were dry and drooping, but the corn, strawberries and grapes look good. (What do I know??) On the way home we stopped at UC Davis and strolled in the park near the veterinary school. Here’s a photo of Zing! on the lawn in front of a statue dedicated to Faithful Companion. Zing! thinks every town square should have such a monument.
Love,
k
