The poodle-dogger.....


Humans are funny critters. We spend millions of dollars on dogs ‘n cats...if I went to a barber ‘n he wanted to charge me half as much for a shave ‘n a haircut as I pay for my dogs, I’d call him a crook 'n walk out.


Gotta get up early in the morn ‘n take the Poodle-dogger to the Vet...minor surgery but he’s gonna have t’be there all day...

I know it’s kind’a silly but I seem t’be worrying more about his surgery that I did my own....’course, the fact that I didn’t fret too awful much about my own surgery might’a been the pills that I took beforehand....”might’a been the whisky, could’a been the gin....etc...”

Anyways, he’s very comfortable at the moment...I’m the one that's sitting in front of the computer sleepless...Poodle-doggers don’t fret about a lot of stuff, y’know...at least before it happens...dog’s’ll get stressed if you leave them alone for too long or if you take them out of their routine....dogs like routine...Heck! People like routine...

it’s easier that way...go to bed at or near the same time ev’ry nite...get up the same way ev’ry morning....what wuzzit the poet said, “.....lives of quiet desperation...”

When we’re young, we have this great desire to lead a non-boring life...a life full of adventure ‘n travel...new places, new things...no dull routine for our unfettered souls..of course, even in our desperate search for fulfillment, our rebellion against the routine sameness of our parents...our lemming-like quest for a unique life of meaning, we join an army of like-minded peers...we dress alike, we talk alike, we listen to the same music, we dance the same dances...we become part of the herd...our ‘routine’ may not be the same as our parents but it is a routine becuz peope, like our canine friends, are most comfortable living a life of routine where we kind’a know what tomorrow will bring....

“The nicest thing about the future is that always starts tomorrow.”
