The Little Dog:
My Small Girlfriend, Curli-Su. We kind of rescued each other when she was a month old--her from a gang of abusive children (I grabbed my quarterstaff and went medieval on them), and me from the months following my 'psychiatric episode' (when I was spending most of my time wandering in the woods, searching for the remnants of my being). She was the first living thing I'd connected with since I left Nova Roma. Not bad for a palm-sized pup.
She just turned six years old. She's still smaller than a laptop case, but only a little. She's tidy and rather catlike; she loves to climb and sits in the window all day. She barks when I need her to and not otherwise; she bats things around with her grabby little paws; she likes cats, dislikes other dogs, and feels relentlessly responsible for me. And we're going to Austin in April, for the Feriae Latinae gathering; now that I've got a car and my life back, it's time she learned how to be a Road Warrior! >({|;-)
Just thought some of you might like to meet her.
In amicitia et fide,
