The Saddest Thing in My House

Calvin hated having his collar off. I think he wasn't used to wearing one before he got to rescue. Whenever I took it off he needed to know where I put it, and he'd keep going to check on it until I put it back on. It's probably silly, but I think it gave him a sense of security and place.

    My mom buried all of Kate's collars and scarves with her. She loved wearing them. I made her collars for every holiday and special occasion. They were all beaded. Gram made her one and my uncle hand tooled her the leather collar for it. She loved them all. Every day she would go to the closet and ask to wear a new one. Then she would have to show it to everyone. One day I decided to put on collars until she didn't have any neck left since she kept asking for another one. She was so excited. She ran right out and showed my dad. He just laughed. I still wonder what some poor soul will think when they accidentally dig her up. The collars will most likely still be there all lovingly wrapped up in her scarves.

I get to choose, after all, and that's where all the people were today.  We stopped at Lush, the most dog-friendly store at Hilldale, and I got to be the greeter for a while. You'd think a store like that would be hard for a dog with my fine discerning nose, since there are so many smells in there, but no. It all works, and besides, everybody pays attention to me, and that's much more important than smells. Other people at the mall noticed me too, of course. Black Friday is for putting lots of people in a place where they can see me, right? And then this afternoon I went to play with Shadow the kitten. Visiting his house is fun, and he likes me, even if he shows it like a cat. That means he's always  reaching out to swat me with his tiny cat feet. He thinks he's tough. It's cute. The best thing - when I was there I got some bacon grease. Jan (Shad...
