MIKE’S MONOLOGUE

Our Puppy

For a long time after our cats died, Barbara didn’t even want to discuss another pet. I had told her on the way home from the veterinarian that, if at some point in the future she wanted another cat, or even a dog, that was fine with me.

She said she felt that having a pet wasn’t worth the pain caused when they died.

And then one day (See? I told you! There’s always “And then one day…” ) Barbara found she needed two serious surgeries. Because she was being watched over

by Him who decides such things, she came through them both with flying colors.

At some point after that, she started making noises about maybe getting another pet: A dog.

She had been researching the subject on the internet, and she thought she might like a bichon frise. She had also emailed several animal shelters, thinking that she might get a rescue dog, but no one ever emailed her back.

We found out later that, at least in Miami, if you want a dog from a shelter, you simply go there and pick it out.

They are not very good at responding to inquiries, phonecalls, or emails.

I had no idea what a bichon frise was, but at that point, if my wife wanted one, I figured

it was my job to move heaven and earth, or at least a small mountain or two, to get her one. Barbara mentioned she had found a breeder, so we made an appointment.

The breeder’s name was Myra, and after chatting with us, she brought out four puppies, two under each arm, and deposited them in two puppy crates, two to a crate. The puppies immediately set up a chorus of puppy-sized barks and squeals, leaping up and down on their hind legs, and generally being very appealing.

One of the puppies was a bichon, one was a Maltese, one was something called a Teddy Bear, and one was a toy poodle. Barbara picked up each one, and held it, trying to figure out which one to get. Of course, Barbara would really like to take them all, but we just couldn’t do that.

She asked me four times which one I liked, and the first three times I responded by telling her that this puppy was for her, so she had to pick it. The way I saw it, this was a therapeutic puppy, somebody to give Barbara some companionship and comfort after her surgeries; somebody to help her smile.

I had watched that poodle for a while she did what the other puppies did: She

Granto jumped around and squealed for attention. When she didn’t get it, she simply found a toy to play with for a while. I figured that might mean that she was capable of amusing herself if for some reason Barbara or I were not paying attention to her.

What I didn’t tell Barbara until later was that the puppy and I had watched each other while Barbara was busy with the other puppies. Then that little puppy sat down, looked me right in the eyes, and tilted her head to her left. I swear she smiled at me. As they say, you had me at “Hello.”

I had watched Barbara with the first three puppies, and they were, sure enough, wiggly bundles of cute when they were in her lap. When she picked up the poodle though, something else happened. The puppy snuggled up against Barbara’s breast, and Barbara cradled it like a baby. Then they were both perfectly still for a while, their eyes closed, just enjoying being with each other. I can’t say that I saw energy flow from the puppy to Barbara, or from Barbara to the puppy, but it was obvious

even to a non-pet person like me that they had found each other. This was a “meant to be” kind of thing.

We settled up the payment, and we got her papers and medical records, along with instructions to take the puppy and the papers to a veterinarian within three days.

Then we took her home.

I held her carrier on my lap on the way home, and got to know my new family member. She was bright-eyed and curious, and not at all yappy as some small dogs can be.

She was about six-and-a-half pounds of cuddle.

Oddly, it took Barbara a couple of weeks to decide on a name for the puppy. She tossed lots of names around, sometimes running them by her daughter, Susan. She once considered the name “Kitty,” presumably in memory of our two cats, but her daughter said, “Mom, there’s no way I’m calling a dog Kitty!”

Eventually, she settled on the name “Trixie.” I’m not exactly sure how or where she got that name, but so far as I was concerned, “Trixie” was it.

If someone had told me a year before we got this dog that I would be really taken with a small white ball of fluff, I’d have responded disbelievingly. But you know, ever since that first look, when she tilted her head to the left, and smiled at me, I knew a couple of things.

I knew that I would love this

little dog, and I knew this little dog would love me.

I make sure she gets fed every morning and every evening. I make sure she gets out for a walk to do her business about every three hours or so during the day.

There are times when I swear I can see a real little person behind her big brown eyes.

Surprisingly, she handled the move from Miami to Houston without a problem.

As long as she could be with

her Mama and her Daddy, she figured the world was just fine.

She’s terribly spoiled, of course. She has her own pink stroller, and a large purse in which she can be carried. She will bark protectively at any noise in “her” hallway.

But for all the miles we’ve traveled, for all the ups and downs we’ve both had in our lives, where we are is here, sitting in our chairs, with Trixie in her little bed between us.

Just like it’s supposed to be.

Pink in the Park event draws in $6,500 for breast cancer services

Families were decked out in pink attire at the ďŹ fth annual Pink in the Park on Friday, May 12 at Constellation Field in Sugar Land.

The annual event presented by the Memorial Hermann Sugar Land Hospital and the Sugar Land Skeeters is an opportunity to recognize breast cancer survivors living in the Sugar Land community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our annual Pink in the Park event was a highlight moment for Memorial Hermann Sugar Land as we recognized the women in the community we serve,â&#x20AC;? said Greg Haralson, Sr. Vice President and CEO, Memorial Hermann Sugar Land. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you to all of the families for helping us raise

money that will be used to advance services available for breast cancer patients.â&#x20AC;?

Patients and their families joined Memorial Hermann Sugar Land employees to enjoy a full menu of burgers, hot dogs and more in the outdoor picnic area.

More than 2,000 fans received a complimentary gift as they entered the gates of Constellation Field.

As the Skeeters took on the Lancaster Barnstormers, 49 breast cancer survivors were recognized on the field during the seventh inning stretch.

Throughout the game, the more than 6,750 attendees had the opportunity to place bids on baseball bats painted by Skee-

ters players.

The silent auction generated $6,500.

Proceeds from Pink in the Park will be used to enhance the breast cancer services oďŹ&#x20AC;ered through Memorial Hermann Sugar Land including digital mammography for screening and diagnostics and the cutting edge 3-D breast tomosynthesis.

This digital technology can detect smaller breast tumors that may be missed by traditional mammography.

The technology is particularly beneďŹ cial for women with dense or fatty breast tissue.

Skeeters team wore pink to bring awareness to breast cancer.
