dusty as hell here tonight.
sorry all, gotta take a hiatus tonight and tie one on: Dad took his dawgum Jakjak to the vet today, at my behest, and he just stopped by to let me know whussup.
a 51 pound canine corpse in the bed of his truck is all ya need to know, right?
We’re both a little tore up right now and the bottle of bourbon is calling me strong right now.

Voo n Jak. R.I.P. dawgum.




“Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together….”

No apologies needed. Damnit that’s tough. They are often the only things in life that give us true unconditional love, it is a rarity otherwise. It is such a gift to us that we keep doing it over and over and over. While the end sucks, the rest of life would have an empty gaping hole without them. Best to you and your Da.

My condolences sir, our dogs become family members and are there through all the good and bad. They just want us to share some time, a little play with them and that is plenty good enough for them.
