I came home today to five beautiful, raven black kittens with five sets of crystal blue eyes. I just kept bunching them up in my arms. It felt like when you see a pile of jewels and just want to sift it through your fingers, or a huge pile of money you want to just swim in. Like some rare moment of wealth that you have to make tangible while you have the chance.
I went to the animal shelter today to see about getting my Dolce spayed. She's got an appointment for June 12th, which means I'll probably be keeping her and her babies here in my house until then. I haven't been able to do that in so long. She used to sleep in the bed with me every night. Well, not so much sleep but she would stay there, waking me up every so often. She and "DJ" Camilla. I remember how heartbroken I was when Camilla died. It's wierd how deeply affected I was by the loss of something I know the odds were so much against. I suppose that was back when I put a lot of things on a pedestal. Mortality is a very wonderful realization when it makes you start living.
I named Dolce after her "sweet" demeanor, but later I began to know a deeper meaning. La vita dolce... life is sweet. Sometimes bittersweet, but I can project my feelings for her upon the whole world and come out smiling.
