Ghibli (Bob's Jo Bob…whelped 05-10-95... adopted 07-18-98…crossed
over 11-25-02) Ghibli was the sweetest and most gentle soul. The day we adopted
him, I knew he was meant for us. Yes, he was 'profiled', but it was more than
that. He leaned against my leg with a heavy sigh, and it just felt right .…'You
are my person. Please love me.' As we became more comfortable with him and he
with us, he would meet and hold a gaze with those gorgeous eyes and you felt truly
connected. He had a quiet presence that put an end to backyard rowdiness with
one 'WOOF' and, when he stood in that 'certain way' (head and ears erect, eyes
focused on forever and the sun catching the gold highlights of his coat), he was
the center of the Universe.
A couple of years
ago, I asked an animal communicator to speak with him. Although a day does not
go by in which I do not hear myself speaking his name when it's time for 'out'….
or when it's time for treats….or hesitate just a split second, waiting for him
to come in from the darkness after 'last out' before bedtime, it comforts me even
now to know he appreciated being accepted as he was, enjoyed the sound of his
name, enjoyed his 'alone time' to 'ponder and dream and think' and felt truly
happy and safe here.
