About a week ago my boyfriend and I got a call from his father, informing us that he had found a cat nearly frozen in the snow. The Temperature on this particular day was -15, certainly not acceptable for a pet to be outside in such temperatures. At the time we were shopping at the Harley Davidson store for a Christmas present for his father, so needless to say Gavin was a little spooked when the phone rang.
As we were paying for our purchase the girl at the counter overheard what we were talking about, as we were headed to meet his father at this point. "You're going to keep the kitty right?" The cashier asked. "If you take him to the pound they'll kill him," she pleaded. "They have to many cats there."
With that thought in mind we headed to Inks Lake road to meet gavin's father. The cat was freezing, we picked her up with very little fight, she was so starved and cold the chances of her possessing enough energy to run away were unlikely.
Sitting in the truck on the way to gavin's parents I fell in love with the furry creature wrapped in a blanket in my arms.
"What do you think about softtail," Gavin asked. "Softtail?" I replied. "Yeah it's a type of Harley, what do you think about it for a name for the cat."
Smiling to myself, I attempted to think of other types of Harley names, knowing that my boyfriend too had fallen in love with this creature."
"How about Dyna," I asked. "Like a Dynaglide."
So it was decided that this poor creature would be called Dyna and as long as she got along with our Dog Foxy she was welcome in our home.
Gavin's dad wrote a letter to the editor of both the local papers about the event. The articles can be found in both the "Kamloops Daily News" and "Kamloops this week."
