Complaining wasn't part of her nature, but I could tell just by looking at her. • I could 'tell by the way she moped around the house all day. She'd lie inside the door gaiing wistfully through the open screen, and at night, she'd stay in a corner while I watched TV. She was still faithful to me, doing everything I expected of her and staying wherever I put her. But I felt guilty knowing she was unhappy, Finally the solution came to me, She needed a mate. I know what you're thinking. What was I going to do with a bunch of 'little pets around the apart- ment? I wasn't worried. After her years of devotion, she &served a little fun... One day I brought her mate home and introduced them. At 'first they acted coy and seemed almost aidifferent to each other. Each staked out a corner Of the apartment as private .territory and stayed there. In time and with a little manoeuvering from me, they began to share a corner. Soon they were soaking up the sunshine together inside the front door. The results were not what I expected. Instead of her mate's enthusiasm rubbing off on her, the despondency of my first pet influenced him. Soon I had two unhappy pets instead of one. After many sleepless nights. I knew what I had to do. I always believed it was cruel to keep pets away from their natural habitat if they 6ult1 not adapt to their new surroundings. The best thing I could do for my pets was take them-back where they belonged and give them freedom. One Saturday I took them for a car ride. They perked immediately, sitting on the dash and staring straight ahead. They seemed to know a change was coming. When we got to the beach, I laid them gently on the sand among pebbles large and small. Then I walked away.. I looked back once, bitt they weren't even watching me. They were engrossed in the new but strangely familiar surroundings and friends. I went back to visit only once:•It almost broke my heart. After an hoUr of searching, I finally found them but they showed no signs of recognizing me, How could they forget so quickly? • In my heart, t I did the right thing even though I miss them terribly. I miss them most when the fan, blows all my papers around the office and I have no paperweight to grab. I miss them, too, when the wind blows the front door shut in a visitor's face becapse there is no door stop. . i take cernfert, though, in knowing my pets are lying in the sun somewhere on a sandy beach with a bunch of little pebbles around them: Benefit Dance far HUGH FLYNN AND FAMILY at , 0 Myth, Arena August 21 8 - 1 am. p STAG for BRIAN NES!BITT Saturday, August 15 z Amp
