Round-up DECORATING WINNERS NAMED AT COWBOY COFFEE Courtesy photo It may always remain a mystery how Y. Tsuji, the Japanese killed in a fall down Reeds creek em - bankment near Red Bluff Wednesday morning, left southbound train No. 13 a few hours before and came to be injured the way he was. No one, it seems, saw him leave the smoking car where he had been sitting in the trip from Eugene, Oregon, en route to Sacra - mento where he intended to go. — April 11, 1924 90 yeaRs ago... How did the Japanese get out of the train? "Jack" was the name cho- sen by someone long before us. However, when we res- cued him from the shelter, we figured, "Why not? We might as well keep the name." His moniker morphed strangely to "Jackpot," slid into "Pot- Pot," and eventually just — embarrassingly enough — "Pot." I usually called him "Big Puppy." Being older, Jack had "is - sues." Boy howdy, did he have issues. We didn't seek out a dog that needed 24-hour attention, but we got one. Within a week of his "gotcha" day, we discovered he had hypersensitive skin, causing him to chew and scratch at his sides so much, he would bleed. To prevent self-mu - tilation, we stumbled upon the idea of adorning him in toddler-sized T-shirts. Since Mini-human clothing is not designed for Mini Schnau - zers, we had to put the shirts on backwards – with the de- sign facing up instead of down. Securing them so he didn't trip, while still provid- ing freedom to "do his busi- ness," he was the most "sty- lin'" dog in town. Beyond soothing his skin, we're sure he liked them because after every walk (when we had to remove his shirt to attach his leash), he'd wait for us to re- dress him. A never-ending source of noises was our Big Puppy. He didn't bark much (un - less he saw another dog) but he grunted, groaned, licked, chewed, yawned, and ex- haled loudly without end. He also broke wind – constantly, always a source of confusion to him, causing him to spin mid-step, seeking the source of the rear-end disruption. What most people remem - ber was that he "skipped." Because his hind legs were too close together and he had scoliosis (did I say he had "is - sues?") his rear feet bumped each other when he walked, causing him to hop, giv- ing the appearance he was skipping down the street. It didn't slow him down, but did provide the funniest impres - sion of a Fred-Astaire-Sing- ing-in-the-Rain upbeat gait as he strolled down the av- enue. Sunday was our last walk. If I had known, I'd have re- corded it, set it to replay non- stop and watch him skip for- ever. Sunday night, without warning, he left us. In the morning we are full of life, sprightly bouncing down the road; by nighttime our house became a cavernous hollow abyss of a void. I can - not fathom how 20 pounds of itchy, farting, skipping ca- nine could leave a twenty-ton weight on our hearts when he left us. Who now will make the sound of toenails scampering on linoleum? Who will raise his front right paw and mis - takenly give me "high five" when I command "speak"? Who will put "puppy paws up" on the couch when he wants to sit next to us and chew incessantly on his smelly, dilapidated, squeaky toy? Who will pee on every bush, pole, and patch of high grass in our neighborhood? Whose stub of a tail will waggle when it's time for a treat? And, most of all, who will lie in his puppy bed, star - ing at me hour after hour, after hour after hour; with- out judgment with the most open, loving, sweetest trust- ing, accepting, brown eyes that ever blessed my life — ready always in an instant to take a walk? Jack's issues are no more. He is at peace, skipping across the rainbow bridge. I am told that someday our tails will once again wag and we will feel like skippin', but right now, a Jack-shaped ragged emptiness exists in our life.
