R.I.P Harley Dog
Sadly we suffered a loss in the household this past week. One of our dogs died. I was going to post a picture but it seems we don't have any of him on this computer, so it made it kind of difficult. I was going to entitle the post something like 'fetching sticks in the sky' or 'shaking paws in the sky', but he didn't actually do any of those things, and as for 'playing dead in the sky'? Well that seemed plain inappropriate. So why not go for something he was far more known for: urinating on things a lot. Thankfully he kept this habit mostly as an outside thing (unlike one of our cats which seems to be convinced my bed a an enormous litter tray), but man could that dog pee. He was a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, about 8 years old. While we aren't entirely sure what he died from, we are pretty certain it's due to him never fully recovering from the affects of a paralysis tick about 6 months ago. He never really ate properly after that, so i'm confindent those microscopic little bastards are to blame. I'd wage war them, but they are difficult to find and I'm not adequately armed. In other words, i need pesticides, stat! O maybe that machine from Honey I Shrunk The Kids so I can shrink myself down and take them on with my bare hands.
But no longer with the foolish little rapscallion of a dog be patting himself of his own accord on my foot as I sit on the couch, or taking over my bed when I'm not looking. I can only hope he went peacefully, and he's now somewhere sexing up Lassie good and proper. Go Harley Dog!
Sorry to hear about Harley man.
