Happy Monday and Howdy.
I really missed sending you a good wish for the last week. But here we are back to it, the end of February 2007 and it’s time to make the very best of it! So to wish just that for you, I have yet another dog story to tell.
We lost Moses for the week I was gone, everyone was desparate and sad and fearful that the old boy was truly lost this time. As it turns out, he was honeymooning with that white little hussy five blocks over that he has already had one set of puppies by! In what must be some sort of weird biological mystery, they go off into the woods to honeymoon. (I thought canines ..were. well.. sort of you know.. just do it on the spot type animals..) Apparently Jennifer (the white hussy’s name) is smart of enough to head home for a bit of rest and sleep during the tryst, but Moses keeps the marital lare warm or something because he doesn’t even come out of the woods until Jennifer is no longer willing. I wasn’t home when Moses finally showed up, but I heard that he walked through the gate, growled at Ellie, and promptly laid by the back door and slept for 5 hours.
So what does this have to do with a Happy Monday greeting? In true Jake fashion, here is a quote. Oh how we love our canines.
Have a good one!!
“There is sorrow enough in the natural way
From men and women to fill our day;
But when we are certain of sorrow in store
Why do we always arrange for more?
Brothers and sisters I bid you beware
Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.”
Rudyard Kipling
