It's Josimas, the day when the mighty Puppy Wolf came to the world.
She'd be 13 today if she lived past 9. And though I lost her four years ago this November, I still miss her. She was such a character, with so much personality, and every time I walk into the house to silence I feel her absence.
Napoleon is going to be 17 in less than three months. (September 21) He's still happy and vital and fun to have around, but he's not Josi -- he is a guarding personality, not a cuddling one. And since cuddling with anyone, human or otherwise, is no longer a part of my life and hasn't been for a very long time, I miss that a lot.
It was seven years ago when things started to go downhill with the ex--girlrebound. Actually, more than that, because the Rebound was gone by Feb1 2002. And things were pretty much dead for several months before that. It's also been over 9 years now since my divorce. This is the single longest bout of datelessness I've ever experienced, and there is no indication that it's going to let up any time soon -- I'm not the type that just anyone gets romantically interested in, I require a very special type of person with a very high resistance to the unusual. I try not to think about this most of the time, because that way lies madness. But some times it comes back up into my psyche, and I'd prefer that it stay buried and silent as much as possible.
But I digress. Hail to Josi, who was for nine years one of the most unique, personality ridden, and quirky life travellers I've ever known. I hope her soul is having a great time in whatever the cycle brings her.
