11 December 2000

Gyp

Gyp arrived, unplanned, in 1990. I don't believe in pets, but he needed a place to stay.

Nobody owned him, he just lived here and I liked having him around.

He left again this evening, 11 December 2000, his own dog to the last. Insisting on a final walk in the park, despite my efforts to talk him out of it, he dropped in his tracks as I'm sure he would have wanted. For him, if not for us, the vet half an hour later was an irrelevance. And he's still here in spirit.

Gyp's photo seems to be a testimony to his independence. His reflection in the water, a reminder of his spirit .
