Travvy Is Two!

February 27, 2010

Time flies like a Malamute in pursuit of a rabbit.

Travvy, formally Masasyu's Fellow Traveller, turns two years old today. It's not official till late tonight, but that's OK.

We want to thank Mama Mayhem (Masasyu's Bound and Determined), Papa Trouble (Masasyu's Here Comes Trouble, and especially Lori Hicks of Masasyu Alaskan Malamute Kennels in Canandaigua, New York, for making it possible for Travvy and Susanna to hook up with each other.

A friend who's an amateur astrologer did charts for both of us and the approxmate time that we decided to go home together. She concluded that both of our prospects improved greatly from the moment we met. For a while there, I had my doubts, but now that I can look back on (almost) two years together, I know for absolute sure that the stars were right. My world needed some shaking up. Travvy and the death of my sourdough starter shook me out of the literary doldrums.

Yesterday was the second anniversary of Rhodry Malamutt's passing. After Rhodry died, I sat near his grave many times to tell him how the search was going and ask him to send me the right dog. He did. Thank you, Rhodry.
