Dotty and me, two misfits
each bonded in our trauma
each doing the best we can.
Both a little scruffy, wobbly,
falling down and lifting up.
Forgiving, returning, each
to the other, again and again.
(Dotty is rescue cat and
I am soul-scarred human.
We save each other.)

Please note that Dotty passed away on August 18 of this year.
