Zombies in the Hallway

It is October. Again.

This is my Mom's favourite time of year. The leaves are burning with secret fire, the air has a crisp quality and, she says, spirits walk among us!

It is the one time of year you can be anyone or anything without judgment. Speaking to shadows won't get you committed. Seeking the ghost in the linen closet is more a pass-time than an exorcism.

I have dressed up before. On year I was Bolt. Another year I was a white wolf from the Mononoke Hime anime. (Really easy costume, BTW.) This year Mom is being a wolf and I think I'll just be me.

My Hallowe'en duties are hard enough. Since the end of September I've had to endure the most horrendous of trials! That is when Mom begins watching horror movies. As she sits on the edge of the couch, squealing in fright and spitting half-chewed popcorn around I hide my eyes under our blanket. She hugs me tight around the neck and tells me to tell her when the monster had finished plucking out the young, attractive teenager's eyeballs. NU-UH! I'm not looking either.

Heart-Song

One time I asked my mom what made her pick me - besides, of course, my dashing good looks and amazing intelligence. I mean there I was, a dog among thousands of others, floating in a sea of pictures and vague descriptions. How was it that I caught her eye?

She said that I didn't catch her eye at all. Well, hardly at all. She saw my picture and I caught her heart. Her heart began singing my name, or the name that would be mine, at first glance. Even when she wasn't looking at petfinder.com the song grew louder and louder. She said the song was so beautiful and it continues to grow more lovely and more profound every day.

Mom says she wishes that every animal could be chosen in this way. She knows that some of the animals adopted from our rescue had a heart-song and she also knows that some have not. But she still hopes for it for every singe one. Especially as her heart sings for Gabriel.

And I hope for it for all of my foster-brothers and foster-sisters as well. I know all about it. My heart sings, too.

     My name is Orrin. I'm a big, white husky mix dog. I like you. I know we just met, but seriously, I like you already.
