Chi-Ping, twelve pound Boriqua dog with attitude,
author of many canine tales on my blog is gone.
About six years ago the little terrier girl refused
to leave the spot where the big SUV dumped her off. She fought the big street
dog determined to chase her away, took the bites and held her ground.
She wasn’t a pushover for just any human wanting to
be her friend. Trust with her needed to be earned. Chi made an exception for
Kirt, my husband; she melted into his lap the first time they meet.
With head and tail held high Chiwi strut through airports aware of those admiring her, my
shining star. She slept in the bend of my knees or the small of my back, giving
me comfort on many lonely nights.
I don’t in fact know that’s she’s dead, so there is
no real closure. Two weeks ago she disappeared; that’s all I know. I miss her
and thank God for her little light in my life.
