Listen.....there's no sound of the copier running off 683 blank copies. No one is blocking my way out of the 'ladies' room' or crunching my special diabetic diet. Oh handsome man - where are you? The 'D-Man', our Denzel, has left the building and gone to his new forever home! One of our lovely staff members couldn't resist his handsome good looks, his furry charms, or the look of love in his eyes whenever he saw her.
He knew he was going 'home'. After nearly two years. He was different. He looked content, and didn't tease me quite as much. Well, ok, one less time than he usually did. And on the day he went home, he walked right into his carrier - even before they put the blanky in! And he used to hate the sight of a carrier. He did one final round, as if to say "goodbye everyone", and back in his carrier he climbed. They told me he didn't say a word all the way home, until he pulled up in his new driveway. They said he checked out every nook and cranny, and couldn't believe his good luck. He had windows, and bedrooms and a kitchen and - wait for it - green, leafy plants! Denzel couldn't resist anything green. He even ate collard greens once. He did - I saw him.
When Denzel came to the shelter he was badly injured and they almost thought he wouldn't make it. His wounds were so bad, but Dr. put him back together, and months later he was good as new. He was just a lot bigger and a lot more ornery! But he was gorgeous, panther-like. He was pure muscle, and he was strong - and strong-headed. When he made up his mind about something you'd better watch out. It was a skill to get him to do what you wanted him to do! And mostly he won.
I'm really happy for him, and I'm glad we can hear all about his adventures on a daily basis in his new home, even if they did have to move all the leafy green plants he shouldn't be chomping on!
Now I've got all these new office kittens to contend with. More about them later. Oh Edward.....
