being replaced

I've been lonely and sad
without you in my
life, she writes, so
I got a new dog. I call
him dusty. he's from texas.
a cowboy dog. like you.
but that wasn't enough.
so I have two birds now,
they sing in a cage
on my porch,
seven fish in a bowl.
a horse, three cats,
and a llama that has no
name. I still miss you
though, but these animals
keep me busy, so less so.

1 dog who needs walking.
6 cats who need a lap.
3 hummingbird feeders that are fought over by 2 territorial male hummers.
2 suet feeders that the local variety of woodpeckers enjoy.
2 seed birdfeeders for the seasonal pine siskins and the squirrels that aren't aware of the fact this feeder is "squirrel-proof".

and yep. I think about how much I'd like to share all of this with you. daily.
