so long, handsome







my wonderful dog Batman died suddenly Thursday night.
I keep imagining his sounds and how he smelled
making fun of how greasy he is
how everything scared him
I miss showering him with affection
encouraging him to not be afraid
he could say but look what happened
but he was a good luck animal charm on his own path.
time is re-calibrating for me around the absence of his needs and sounds.

He seemed to have a hobbit's luck...... yet even that only goes so far.
