Esi sithuba sesinye kuthotho malunga nebhodi yaseCalifornia ReLeaf kunye nemithi ethandwayo yabasebenzi. Namhlanje, siva kuMphathi weziBonelelo weCarlifonia ReLeaf, uChuck Mills.
Kwimizuzu engamashumi alithoba phambi kokuba ndicwangciselwe ukuya kumnyhadala wam wokuqala weVeki yoTyalo-mithi njengomsebenzi waseCalifornia ReLeaf, uCalico wam oneminyaka engama-21 ubudala ogama linguTaffy wasweleka. Nangona ndandinesizathu esaneleyo sokusitsiba isiganeko (amanzi anetyuwa eninzi ebeka emngciphekweni ingqibelelo yomhlaba kwizityalo ezitsha), ndahlala nomfazi wam iyure enye, emva koko ndaya kumsitho ngenxa yezizathu ezicacileyo zokunika ubomi kwinto ethile emva kokuphulukana nexabiso elingaka.
Xa uRay Tretheway eSacramento Tree Foundation waqalisa ukukhuthaza amavolontiya ukuba atyale imithi yawo ngokunikezela ngomntu okanye into ethile, ndalahla ibhatyi yesuti, ndasonga imikhono yam, ndathabatha umhlakulo.
Lo ngumthi owatyalwa ngaloo mini kukhunjulwa uTaffy (1990-2011).
