Honey
has been my friend and constant companion for nearly fifteen
years. I'll never forget when she was only six weeks old, how she leapt
out of my hands and tried to climb a tree to get to a parrot, then she
ran out of the pet store and down the mall. It took three of us to catch
her. Then, when we finally did she pulled on my mustache and I felt my
heart start pounding and my head started spinning. I was in love with
her - boy did I have it bad. Since then she's been with me through many
houses, cities, jobs and good times and bad. Throughout it all her love
and companionship has remained constant, she truly is an anchor in my
life. Her trademark "singing" when I come home from work
sometimes is the only thing that can put a smile back on my face.
Early on, Honey was, to put it kindly, a "handful". She had
terrible wander-lust - she could easily escape a maximum security
prison. She also had a passion for destroying things around the house,
even computers and upholstery. Just look at her face - how long could
anyone be angry at her?! Now that she's older she doesn't run away
anymore, or destroy things. Instead she sleeps a lot. She acts as an
example to her dog pals (Including
Aurora,
a former Dog of the Day) periodically doling out discipline when they
get out of hand. She still goes on walks twice a day even though her
rear end is getting a bit stiff. The message is clear that our remaining
time with her is short - after all, she's almost 15 and our vet says
Huskies only live to be about 12 or 13! So we look at this time as a
special gift, and we're devoted to giving her the best possible care,
food, and comfort. She deserves the best since she's given us so much
pleasure for so many wonderful years. I love my Honey.
