| The other special thing about Calvus is that he has the kindest disposition of any animal I have ever met. There is something about his enthusiasm for living that has always managed to make any problems I might be having seem trivial and unimportant. When he wags his tail, the entire back end of his body flails back and forth, and he appears as a creature entirely possessed by joy. When he presses his head against your hand to get a little affection, he puts his whole heart and soul into it. If you’ve been away from the house all day, Calvus receives you so warmly when you come in through the door that it lends a real sweetness to the feeling of coming home. He makes a person feel welcomed, and well and truly loved. |
