The Perfect Pet!
W
hat do you do when
you can no longer af-
ford a pet or you live in a “no
pet” residence? Ninety-year-
old, Norma solved the problem
with her ever-present sense of
humor.
“My solution for the empti-
ness one experiences when liv-
ing alone,” said Norma, “was
simple.”
“I have a wonderful pet I
dearly love — she has deep
black eyes and a soulful ex-
pression. She gives me the
impression that she under-
stands my every word with her
empathetic heart.
She never walks out of the
room when I’m talking to her
and she never refuses a hug.
As a matter of fact, she is very
huggy. She never complains,
but then again she is treated
with the utmost love and re-
spect. She is an extremely
cooperative pet, who is easy
to get along with and she does
not get into any trouble. She
is a low maintenance pet, sur-
prisingly with no fl eas.
People are amazed that She-
ba is 22 years old. Even as a
senior pet she still snuggles.
She recently underwent minor
surgery for a cut on her arm.
I would not let anyone else
touch her, so I stitched her up
myself!
As a widow, I have not felt
alone since Sheba came into
my life. Shortly after my sis-
ter passed, my daughter, Ann,
gave me Sheba for my birth-
day. Sheba was conceived in
the Gulf Islands and her ‘birth’
mother, an artist, was obvious-
ly a kind and loving woman
to have created such a beauty.
Yes, Sheba’s defi nitely one of
a kind.
Eighty-seven years ago,
when I was three I asked Santa
for the set of Goldilocks’ three
bears. I received them and
have loved Teddies ever since.
I love music and because

Ann gave her mother, Norma, a pet in 1993, and she
is still giving love, hugs and giggles after all these
years!
Sheba is a she-bear, evident
from her pinafore, the minute
my hands touched her I heard
refrains from George Friedrich
Händel’s “the Arrival of the
Queen of Sheba” (from Solo-
mon).
Sheba represents the white
Kermode Grizzly bears from
Northern British Columbia.
Kermodes are a subspecies of
the grizzly bear, so they have
a lump on their backs. The
aboriginals call them ‘spirit
bears’ because of their blond
fur. A fun fact: white bears
are more effective at catching
fi sh than black bears because
it is harder for the fi shes to see
the white bears.
Thankfully, Sheba, is always
full, she does not consume fi sh
or food adding to her ‘purr-fect
pet’ status. Extra plumpness is
not welcomed in people, but in
bears they look good chubby
in their winter coat. She has no
vet bills, and when she needed
a ‘nose job’ on her faded little
round black nose, I did it for
her.
Since I lost my husband
Sheba sits on my bed and I
feel less alone. If I have a bad
night I talk to her and her un-
derstanding eyes assuage my
soul. In the morning, we get
up together, and she sits with
me while I read the newspaper.
She does not sit at the table;
after all, she is a pet!
I adore her company and
have a strong attachment to
her, because she makes me
smile. At my age, my social
life has dwindled with the
deaths of friends and family,
and Sheba is comforting and
healthier than taking up drink-
ing!
She has a loyal friend in me,
along with her three stuffed
penguins, lamb and two baby
Teddies. I never worry about
her when I am at music groups,
away for holidays or out shop-
ping because she has them to
sit with and socialize.
Sheba is aging well. Her
once white fur is changing col-
ors, but then again, so does our
hair color with age.
Many single people leave the
radio on while gone, but I have
Sheba to say ‘Hello’ to when
I walk in the door. She takes
the ‘empty’ out of my home.
She’s also saved a lot of radio
electricity over 22 years! I
talk to her all the time and told
her about meeting Mary Ellen
and that now she gets to be ‘fa-
mous’. Sheba responded with
her ever present knowing look.
I felt comfortable telling her
and you about my rather ‘un-
usual pet’ because I know you
understand about loving furry
things. I hope you enjoyed my
fun ‘tale’, too!
In case of emergency, you
grab what is important to you
as you run outside. When our
building’s fi re alarm went off,
I grabbed my wallet – and
Sheba. She is very real to me.
I don’t go as far as checking
her heart beat because I know
she is a Teddy, but the amount
of comfort and companionship
she brings me is priceless.”
