Dear Refuse Department,

Recently my beloved animal companion, "Cedrick"
passed away quietly while running at top speed 
through the heavy traffic of Waialae-Kahala.

Cedrick was my pet mongoose. He was coming 
up to his fourth birthday and we were planning 
a beach barbecue with a Party Bouncer for the 
strippers. I was going to make Tequila Sunrise's 
for the homeless guy under the banana stump.

During this sad time of my life, I have taken 
time off from my unemployment and am trying 
to come to grips with this loss. 
 
I've folded up his swimming trunks and put his 
favorite cotton ball in the Goodwill box. (Cedrick, 
not the homeless guy.) I've canceled his e-mail 
account and his Macy's credit card, but I would 
feel a lot better if I could achieve some real 
closure. My problem is that I can't find his earthly
remains. If I did, I would hire a 747 and have his
ashes quietly scattered along Waikiki beach. 

Could you please write to me and let me know if 
you have found my little Cedrick? He was colored 
light brown and parted his hair on the left. He
had two, tiny, beady eyes - the kind of eyes that 
would love you intensely from under the 
refridgerator.

After being run over by a large truck, he is 
probably the size of a buttermilk pancake, 
like the kind you can order at Zippys.


Sincerely,




P. Wendell Hehena III
Former pet owner
