Description
One day, years ago, I was passing through my dining room when I saw this beautiful little face peering in at me through the sliding glass doors. Ah! A little visitor, I thought. She was there again the next morning. And the next. She wore a collar and I thought surely she must belong to someone...but she never left. I concluded that her owners must have moved and just left her behind to fend for herself. I set a soft bed out for her and fed her every day.
Soon, the cold, harsh October winds began to blow and she lay huddled in her little bed looking in at me so beseechingly.
And one day, my soft-hearted husband said...Ok, Sandi, I give up...just bring her in!
And I ran to the door, opened it and in she came! She never went out again! In fact, one day our back door blew open while we were out and when we came home I was frantic thinking she had run out and disappeared. But no, I found her crouching in the basement as far away from that open door as she could get!
She lived a long and pampered life and was as sweet natured as she looks. I loved her and miss her dearly.
And that, my friends, is the story of Chai.

Well now you've done Sandi! You managed to bring tears to these tired old eyes!!! What a wonderful story and I am not one bit surprised by your compassion and love; Chai is beautiful and so content looking- she knew she had met the right people and just decided to stay....I am so sorry that she is no longer with you; I know how much you must miss her - my little Schmitty just up and disappeared one day and he was such a loving and beautiful cat...awesome work :-))
Sandi Mikuse replied:
Oh I am so sorry to hear about Schmitty, Joyce. It is always so upsetting when we lose a little animal member of the family. Thank you for such sweet, kind words my friend!

You should be a storyteller Sandi. Your passionate descriptions draw me in as well as the work itself, and bring me to those days long past when we just felt we had to adopt everything with four legs,sometimes two. Lovely Chai, a beautiful memory living on through the works of master artist Sandi Mikuse- nice work,Mais bien sur!!/L/F
