Dear Song Dog
Do you remember a few years ago when it was dark and I was working in my studio? You probably would have seen me lit up from that hill outside my window. I didn’t know you were there at the time. I was drawing you on a big piece of paper. I had been working on it all day long and as I was nearing completion and it became nighttime I started to wonder if I should create a mate for you in paper form.
I decided to take a break and I walked around my house, it was dark so you probably would have seen me move from room to room.
I went to let my dogs out into the back yard, and when I turned on the bright light I finally spotted you with your mate watching from the hillside. The two of you stood for a moment then departed.
I will always remember that day, because in that moment you answered my question about whether my paper coyote needed a mate.
