R.I.P. Calla

I had the good fortune to live with Calla for several years. She was loving, enthusiastic, friendly to a fault, and convinced she was the boss. I will never forget the morning I awoke after a drunken and disorderly birthday party in the dog bed Calla never used. When I stumbled up, there she was on my pillow, with a look of “yeah, this is how things oughta be around here, mister.”

Tonight, Calla had to be put down.

I love Calla. Calla loved everyone. She will be missed.

    Thank you to Marc for doing this. I know it means a lot to Carrie. Losing a pet is like losing a loved one. Carrie is in our thoughts! I’m glad that Carrie and Calla had so many wonderful years together.
