Not for Sale
As a boy I was fortunate to have three dogs (at different times), and several cats. I adored them all. But I lost them each time my family would move to another state. By 9th grade, I'd become indifferent to pets-- I'd loved and lost eight. When I had kids of my own, my wife made it absolutely clear that pets are full-fledged members of the family; life-long members that lived indoors and slept at the foot of the bed. We adopted Bucky (Starbuck) in 1980. It took my wife, both kids, and Bucky, to shatter the indifference I had acquired over the years. It would be 17 more years before I learned to love cats as I had as a child (this also thanks to my kids). 2017 marks the 45th year I've had a pet that lives indoors, and has never been given away to strangers, or left behind. This painting is in memory of Bucky, beloved his entire life by his family.
