Pet stories

The animals I've been trusted with

Every animal has their own way of being. These are a few of the friends I've cared for — and what made each of them themselves.

Sunny

Sunny

Sunny only settles at night if his blanket is folded at the foot of the bed, exactly the way his mom does it. The first evening I stayed with him he watched me fold it, sighed, and went straight to sleep.

Willa

Willa

Willa hides from most visitors. By the third drop-in she was waiting on her window blanket at the same time every afternoon, because that is when we sit together and she decides whether today is a chin-scratch day.

Maybach

Maybach

Maybach meets me at the fence before I am out of the truck. He is particular about the order of things: grain first, then water, then a few minutes of standing quietly together before I get on with the rest of the chores.

Care changes everything.
