Gi-zeu-mo! (6 months in)
It’s been six months since that fateful day when I found Gizmo. He was a tiny, back arching little thing alone against the world in an empty parking space. I approached him and presented my hand, upon inspection Gizmo (who had yet to be named). Plopped on his side, evidently decided I was friend, not foe. I scooped him up and brought him to the vet. Gizmo was enjoying himself, until the vet. He started squirming and crying but I didn’t want to let him down because I was afraid he may run off or under something. Then Gizmo pooped, sputtering out some diarrhoea. He was defeated, shamed, his look said ‘I’m sorry, so sorry.’ I cleaned him and the vet came and checked him out. Ear mites were the only real health problem. A relief. I brought him out of department store and he managed another poop while on the escalator. This time though a Korean Mother and her son saw us and provided some tissue for cleanup. I walked home with Gizmo, by now he was taken with me. I put him down and as I walked along the trees nearby the sidewalk he mewed and followed. At one point he even tried to eat a dried worm, his protests were mighty but I wrestled the worm away. No more roadkill for my little buddy. I got Gizmo home and spent the rest of the day doing photo ops and playing with him between his many naps.

Note: K found Gizmo and did all this stuff, not me. I just like to pretend that I found him.
