ANNIE GOES HOME NOVEMBER 2006

Micky writes: Annie was adopted just before Thanksgiving. Annie was here for [quite] a while and I don't think she made the transition easily. Thankfully, I think her new family are true dog lovers and really had the patience to see it through. They did change her name to Nikki since she wouldn't respond to Annie. They think she likes Nikki because it sounds like Micky. Go figure. I grew pretty attached to that sweet little pooch.

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 hides 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
