What You Will

Another Burma Shave billboard on the information superhighway. Random thoughts about arts, faith, culture, music, language, literature, and the shortcomings of the Hegelian dialectic. (OK, just kidding about that last bit.)

Farewell




















Admired Miranda!
Indeed the top of admiration! worth
What's dearest to the world!
*

The world will little note nor long remember Miranda, but she was the best pet I've ever had. For 10 years Sarah and I were fortunate to share our lives with the most gentle, beautiful, sensitive, loving, loyal animal imaginable. She was taken from us far too soon, a victim of kidney failure, on Monday, July 25.

If not overwhelmed by grief, I am at least very, very sad. And right now I wouldn't want it any other way. Tears are all I have left to give Miranda, and I'm going to make sure she gets plenty of them.

But you, O you,
So perfect and so peerless, are created
Of every creature's best!

Martin, I am very sorry for your loss. We lost three pets in the space of six months a couple of years ago, two to cancer (cats) and one to old age (an 11-year-old dwarf bunny, the oldest our vet had ever seen!) I'm STILL recovering from that period. I'm sure you gave Miranda a happy life and a comfortable home. You folks are just too kind to accept anything less.
