"What does that mean--'tame'?" (asked the Little Prince)
"It is an act too often neglected," said the fox. "It means to establish
ties."..."If you tame me, we shall need each other. To me you will be
unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world." ...
" You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed."
 

Becket tamed me. He taught me everything I know about Afghans.
He stole my heart and left it in pieces. He left way too soon.
Thank goodness for the puppies he gave me-- I see his spirit dancing in
their eyes, his pride and elegance in their movement around the ring, his
exuberance as they race around the yard.
May you run free, my dear friend.

Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain,
With the barkers and the colored balloons.
You can't be twenty, on Sugar Mountain,
Though you're thinkin' you are leavin' there too soon.
You're leavin' there too soon.
