GERTIE GOES HOME 31 JANUARY 2010

Baby, it's COLD outside! On 1 February, Shell writes: Natalie & Patrick Nisivaco adopted Gertie this past weekend and it's going great! I think I prefer my nice new bed. Mr Wiggles (their 15-year-old) was so happy to see Gertie and has been giving her kisses since she arrived.

Now that I'm home, bathed, settled and fed, All nicely tucked in my warm new bed. I'd like to open my baggage Lest I forget, There is so much to carry - So much to regret. Hmm . . . Yes there it is, right on the top - Let's unpack Loneliness, Heartache and Loss, And there by my leash hide Fear and Shame. As I look on these things I tried so hard to leave - I still have to unpack my baggage called Pain. I loved them, the others, the ones who left me, But I wasn't good enough - for they didn't want me. Will you add to my baggage? Will you help me unpack? Or will you just look at my things And take me right back? Do you have the time to help me unpack? To put away my baggage, To never re-pack? I pray that you do - I'm so tired you see, But I do come with baggage - Will you still want me? -- Evelyn Colbath
