tribute to dmikes new dog friend
ah! i just remembered a good dog story spurred on by dmike's earlier entry:
a couple years ago i walked with my dog down to the bank to make a deposit. Dmike, i know you're familiar with pioneer bank and it's generosity with suckers. but have you noticed how rare it is to get anything but a grape, cherry or an apple sucker? well... once i got a STRAWBERRY. yes that's right. a beloved strawberry. i was enjoying it so much on the way home. it was delicious. i felt lucky, i felt classy, i felt rich. all the while my dog was looking up at me with this pitiful look on her face. and i thought: "why should i be the only one to feel these wonderful things?" so i reached down and let her have a taste.
and then i put it back in my mouth. i know i know. i'm gross. whatever. just at that moment this very large african american man drove by and stuck half his body out the window exclaiming:
"you let that DAWG lick yo SUCKA?!"
running away seemed like a good idea at the time.
