Fate

It's funny how stray animals seem to find me. I believe that I have "sucker" painted (with invisible ink!) on my house, vehicle, and forehead! Kiyanni found me when I needed a companion. I had just moved over 1600 miles away from home to start a career on the Navajo Reservation as a music teacher. I felt so isolated and this puppy was abandoned. She showed me how a neglected being could see life in a unique way.



I have had a "deja vu" incident. I had to put Kiyanni down 2 years ago at the age of 18. I was driving home and saw a van advertising a pug farm. I thought (out loud) "Maybe I am ready for another dog..." no sooner had I said that and I saw a small fur ball in the median of Interstate 40. I named her Luna after Stellaluna (a children's book about a bat). She continues to open my eyes to life from a stray's point of view.
