For The Love Of Dogs

DSC09086.JPG

Time does not take them from us all at once. It softens them first. It grays the muzzle, slows the step, and deepens the eyes until they seem to carry every quiet morning and every loyal glance they ever gave us.

In the morning light at Fort Sofa, Mason still stands the watch. Not with the energy of youth, but with something steadier. Ownership earned over years of simply being there, faithful and loyal, each and every day.

Almost fifteen years is not just time. It is a life lived steadfast in one place, beside one person, in a way that turns an ordinary spot on the couch into something permanent and lasting.

Some forts are never meant to fall. Long live the boy dog, Mason.

That's a beautiful tribute for Mason.

My little Dachshund is slowly wasting away this, her 16th, year, down to six pounds from her usual 13lbs, almost deaf, just about blind with cataracts, but still large and in charge. Yesterday my son was about 30 minutes late getting home so she barked for 30 minutes. Then he came home. It works every time.

She's with me every minute of the day and sleeps with me at night. I'm bracing myself for losing her, but it's going to be truly awful.
