A chance to say goodbye
Recently I received a Facetime call on the beach. It was a beautiful morning full of sun-sparkles on the shallow still water of the estuary. Pelicans hanging out on the sandspit in small groups. They looked like they had gathered together for a chance to bask in the late winter sun on their way north or south. The air was full of the smell of eucalypts warming themselves into the day; their leaves rustling as the wind caught them, gently stirring them as the breeze swirled in the air. The water softly lapped at the edge of the sand, barely creating a wave in the moment before and after the call.

This is my beautiful boy. He hasn't always been my beautiful boy. As a young pup he was known as our very own land shark. His teeth were lethal and he had no idea of how to restrain himself from plunging them repeatedly into my forearms. I was covered in welts, gouges, bruises and cuts. His baby teeth were like nothing I have ever felt before and like nothing I want to experience again.
