i found two pictures of young lefty today … he was so small. seems like many moons ago.

the picture where lefty is looking through the gate has a funny story behind it. that’s christian and beta’s old deck in topanga. you had to walk up a pretty steep flight of steps and through that gate to get into their house. one day when lefty was very wee (shortly after i had gotten him) he was up behind the gate for some reason and i was down at the bottom of the steps. he got excited to see me and launched himself through the gate posts (we didn’t think he could fit through), tumbling head first down the steps. head over paw over head over paw. thump thump thump thump thump. like a warm red slinky. i’m standing at the bottom of the steps (as ex-howard stern intern steve grillo would say, ‘completely dumbfounded’) watching this sweet little innocent furry thing- who fate had recently put under my care – falling down a flight of stairs. frozen in fear and terror, i was. shitty feeling all around. seemed to go on for about twenty minutes, too. but he was fine … puppies are made of rubber.

aw …
