A Dog Named Pam

This is the smell of the sunshine, orange trees, and a good friend. Notes: juniper berry, petitgrain, bitter orange, red mandarin, cedarwood, palo santo, and a warm fuzzy musk that feels to me like the hot belly of a clean dog. Pam came to the animal shelter under mysterious circumstances. Nobody was quite sure what her history was or how old she was. All we knew was that she came from a small orange grove in California. She was anxious about nearly everything, but I could tell she was a sweet animal. One month after adopting her, she let me pet her - and she’s been my shadow ever since - 7 years later she’s a grumpy old girl with arthritis and the warmest spirit.
