Enzo is a
spaniel mix that we initially fostered then kept for good.
He had spent his pre shelter life going through garbage
cans. Mary Jo said that he had got his name because she
always wanted to name a dog Enzo. I knew better than to
pursue the subject at that time. After either interrogation
or patience I learned that she had named him after a dog
named Enzo from a novel "The Art of Racing in the Rain".
As a youngster Enzo was a puppy prodigy. He could leap
thorough the air with the greatest of ease. He would make
long runs and jump it seemed like thirty feet onto the
couch. I felt as proud as a parent who had a merit Scholar
kid or a kid who had won an all expense athletic scholarship
to college. The sky seemed the limit for this amazing
jumping almost flying dog. But over time Enzo picked up a
few pounds and started missing the couch on his flying
leaps. I though maybe it was his technique or maybe he had
suffered an injury that kept him from landing all the way on
the couch. |
