POST # 689
What the heck? I went to bed last night with the Ollie that I knew, and I woke up this morning with this updated version of him. Black and white, long hair, and larger as well. Who is this imposter?
Don't get me wrong, the new Ollie is a wonderful furball, but where did the old Ollie go?
Ah, here he is after all. He never really left, but when I told him about the other furball, he had this rather shocked look upon his face. I had to then explain to him who this imposter was.
His name is Bandit, and he has found a home at my friend's place here in Vancouver. I was over to visit them a little while ago, and that's when I had the good fortune to meet Bandit. As I told Ollie the story, he settled back down, and then went right back to sleep, happy with the knowledge that in this house, he is still number one.
I have to say goodbye to him tomorrow, but we still have a little more time to spend together, so we'll make the best of it.
grateful for every breath,
Paul
