How Jaysus met his maker. Part 3.

Now granted, I was lazy about getting out the canoe and paddling in 110km winds with various evacuees, dogs and relatives, frankly the whole fearing for my life and my house was a lame excuse for not jumping right into the 5ft waves hitting my house (waves hitting my house on all four sides) and just getting that giant metal shark. I mean come on! Certainly there were the logistics of how to ride a shark while carrying the canoe over my head. But in the end it was better to live another day, wait for the end of the mother flood, and try to stay sane whilst.

Sanity depended on how much pie there was in the house and wearing hip waders 24/7. Pecan pie especially. You can pronounce the word pecan any way you like, just leave me alone. I was eating anything I could get my hands on and the boots didn't make my hair look fat at all. I was eating like a pig and losing weight, it was awesome. My mind also needed hilarity to take the edge off maybe having to evacuate my home, so this came to mind:

Pig'n'boots, aka Lisa, is the cutest, most endearing, funny photo ever.  Word to the wise, when you call Pig Rescue and ask for a tiny pig in boots, they do not treat you kindly. Fine! I took to the web in search of tiny pigs. My heart soared! TEA CUP pigs for sale EVERYWHERE!!! I needed twelve! No wait fourteen. No twelve, I think. Yes twelve!  Being a diligent dutiful animal owner, I went straight to the PayPal account, hell they even ship 'em! Sigh.

There is no such thing as a tea cup pig actually. The pig pushers show photos of tiny baby just born pigs and sell them under false pretense. Even pygmy pigs, who are real, get as big as, let's say a very fat whippet, and you need an agriculture permit to own one. Pig Rescue people, and actual researching just suck the life right out of that tiny bacon idea. Stupid brain.

Seeing my distress, and obvious desperation, my friends, fearful of me creating an actual pig ark, started to keep the hilarity chip activated in said brain. This took us all on a journey...

The Tale of The Pandemic Rodent with A New Cast of Characters.

I know, it has been a while. How. How are you still reading this blog over the years? You are wonderful, thanks. Or you need a life. Either way, yay! How is your Covid coming along? Unexpected wasn't it? Unless you are a epidemiologist, then you've known for years so stop showing off with your silly science. Now back to the tale. Do you guys remember the video about that family in Ireland with a loose bat in their kitchen? No? Here is the link, I'll wait: IRISH FAMILY WITH LOOSE BAT IN KITCHEN Hysterical yes? I am Irish as well, added bonus is me quoting this video, accent included, since its inception. During the ongoing epidemic we have temporarily moved in our elderly neighbour, originally from Belfast. She also happened to have given birth to me and was accompanied by The Anti Christ, aka her little dog. She's a cute Satan yes? She's actually highly trainable. After a month of pig headedness and constant supervision by me, she now sits on he

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

I paid a professional to murder my heart on four legs. I understand they do not call it murder at the vet clinic. I understand that it isn't murder. I did what was best. The humane thing to do. I get it but for the life of me I couldn't figure out what to wear to a killing. I mean should I wear a poncho whilst chewing tobacco à la Clint Eastwood in one of those western movies? Or maybe a black veil and giant crucifix since the funeral and viewing of the body happens straight after? If only I spoke Italian, I would wail my sorrow loudly to make sure the Italian deity could hear me and let me have a place in the Italian heaven, because pasta. Now dear readers you are wondering if I have finally gone off the deep end. Is she that callous to make light of such a sad and horrible time? Did she not love that poor soul? The answer is whatever you want it to be get your own blog. Wait that was rude...You see Humphrey was (I just typed the word 'was' and may have vomited

He's just a dog.

I call this:  "Plaid Dalmatian On Mosaic" 15 years on Earth that one.  15 years he has given me myself. He has taught me so much. Sure he taught me all about dog stuff, whatever, but mostly he taught me how to live. How to love. How to be free. How low self esteem is made up human garbage because to him, the sun rises and sets with me. To him, I am love. To him, I can do no wrong. The egg cracked and he imprinted on me. He chose me. Go figure. For 15 years I have tried to live up to what this creature sees in me. I crawled out of my safe cocoon and drove alone in blinding snow late at night to get to his classes in the middle of nowhere. I drove to different locations pre GPS to get him to race practices. I am geographically challenged people! I learned how to knit because he needed a sweater. I had to make friends with literally hundreds of people who have the same breed. PEOPLE! Yakking at me everyday. What is this world coming to? He begat The Mute Deer Goat
