cycles

we get to know General and Buddy from next door in the aftermath of Dog. General is fifteen, a totally mellowed out former alpha mutt. Buddy is his obliging nine year old yellow retriever brother. they help heal the breach left by Dog.

General will be put down tomorrow, our neighbor tells us. his eye tumor is bleeding into his sinuses. the enucleation bought him four months but he is in continuous pain now.

dogs have a way of sneaking nto your heart unawares.
