In Memorium: Warm As Yellow

Sad news. He finally stopped eating completely and was already underweight, so we decided it was time to put Yellow Dog to sleep, instead of letting him starve to death.

He wandered up to Nisha in a parking lot about 5 years ago and has been with us ever since. We were at least his 2nd home, or so it would seem- somebody went to a lot of trouble trying to mend a badly broken leg (and possibly some spinal trauma) several years before we found him.




The leg has never worked great since we've known him, but he didn't let it slow him down until near the end. He was an enthusiastic pup, even at his ripe old age. Bowling us over and slurping at us. A very sweet boy, despite his sad history.

I think he can be summed up perfectly in the first verse of a Mazzy Star song called, fittingly, Bright As Yellow:

And you live life with
your arms reached out
eye to eye when speaking
Enter rooms with great joy, shouts
Happy to be meeting
And bright bright
Bright as Yellow
Warm as Yellow

He is missed.



But not by the kitties.
