so long, heidi.





 when i decided to go and picked up my bike to climb down from the skull rock i saw a dog look at me and a guy looking at the pier. i thought she looked different but it's been years and then i saw her recognize me and then bill let her go and we had our reunion. it's heidi, i'm so glad to see. i think i stopped walking her when she was three. now she's thirteen. i stopped because i had taught her to walk off leash and her mom decided later she wanted her leashed and i just couldn't do it. each time i see her, the last time was about two years ago, i wonder what did she think when i vanished, and what does she think when she sees me again. she might have grown old with me. now, funny thing, they might move into our building. i wouldn't give her up now, and i hope she has had a good life, and i'm still so proud and thrilled at our time when she was young and unleashed. it's a thrill to know that our time together though brief is still a living thing. we had some three years. little bear and i only had one. i'm glad for whatever time we have.
