Sweetie and Grace

P1000915The queen mum loved my dog Sweetie and Sweetie loved the queen. I was surprised, as I thought Grace might be a bit of a dog snob having raised purebreds. Grace immediately saw what a great personality my dog had and it seems I had finally given her the grandchild she always wanted. Sweetie got Grace to walk around the block or take  a walk on the beach at Port Hudson. I brought Sweetie to the nursing home to visit so the dog knew Grace was not well. The night my sister called to say mum was getting worse I jumped out of bed got dressed and Sweetie who never got up that late insisted on coming with me to the hospital. After the queen mum died I went every day to her apartment to deal with her things but Sweetie refused to come with me. The dog took to her bed and barely acknowledged me. I started telling her that she had turned into Grace, all she wanted to do was sleep and be left alone. This went on for over a month then slowly she started acting like her happy self again.

I grew up in San Francisco in the 60's. I lived in a world of sex, drugs and rock and roll. After a long stretch working on my tan I have joyfully found my way back to radio. Because you can't fight it; when it's in your blood. I play music on KPTZ.org.
