And Then There Were Three


First day without Pinkay.

The boys seem oblivious to her absence. Cukay seems to be looking for her. She sniffs her boys and kinda walks around as if searching for Pinkay. It could just be my imagination. My friend told me they don't remember.

I remember. I look for her. I have the way she looked back at me when she was leaving embedded in my memory chip. She seemed to say, "Mama, where are these people taking me?" And my heart breaks all over again.

She is with Niko, her new master. He will love and take care of her. But I will never get to hold her. She will never look at me with her sweet face to ask me for a treat.

I have my boys romping at my feet. They will be mine until they are not.

That's it. I'm having Chikoy and Cukay fixed.
