One day, one son noticed that the old cat was doing the same 'I want a treat' dance that my precious Yukon used to.  When he told me about it, I saw his voice break and I realized that somewhere very deep and very hidden inside of him, he had kept on the back burner the deep hurt and  deep love, that  I never realized that there was a candle still burning inside that manly heart. 

Thanks for sharing your story Toonie. What a precious sight to see the "the treat dance" continue through the pensionner cat. Your son must have been touched deeply as I am sure you were as well when he told you. Perhaps Yukon reached out and touched your son and you to say hello and bring you such happiness and smiles. Those kinds of remembrances are the best.

Yesterday when I came home from work my husband was out in the yard with Gidget. The weather is getting warmer so now we take Gidget out in the yard to do her potty business. In the harsh coldness here during Michigan winters we have never made our chihuahuas go all the way out as they only weigh 6 pounds.

Anyway, as I saw my hubby out there with Gidget, for just a fraction of a second I saw Goliath there with them. I walked out to them after I put my car in the garage and quickly realized my hubby had tears in his eyes.

YES!!! Candles of love do burn in their manly hearts!
