Look - just to clear up any misunderstanding. A recent snap shot. The actual dog Dexter is very much still breathing,scrounging,
scratching, barking, growling, cocking his leg, tug of warring, chasing foxes, chasing shadows, chewing his feet, biting the postman's industrial footwear, fetching the daily newspaper, impersonating a goat, eating salad, concealing large chunks of crusty bread,just a bit less virile, a bit slower, a bit harder of hearing and if he could he might choose to wear some fine tortoiseshell spectacles, his eye sight ain't as sharp as in his prime, and his shit is normal and polished. His nose is shiny, moist and black. His breath might not be too fresh sometimes, but he's had a medical and his health otherwise is pretty robust. So thank you for your emails and notes of sympathy for the apparent passing of my pal but they are misplaced, but very touching and we appreciate your kind thoughts.
I was speaking of the Dog as in Flogs The Dog not as in Dexter.
Love this, dear David! And the photo too :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Rosemary. Maybe I should do a book about Dexter? Mind you this morning he's vomited the contents of a chicken casserole onto the middle of the spare bed, perhaps the mutt's days are numbered after all. And yes he shouldn't have been on the spare bed in the first place, he sleeps with me!
DeleteGlad you cleared that up, David - the misunderstanding I mean, not the vomit on the bed.
ReplyDeleteI was speaking about Flog the Dog too as it seemed a shame that your blog was finishing...it just seemed poignant to give condolences.
ReplyDeleteI saw that! It said '31 Days Only'. I pounced on it and there was nothing there. That's being a tease! That is wicked! You might as well put it back!
ReplyDeleteYou did? Your brain is playing tricks............well mine is.
DeleteGreat picture of Dexter! Are those your paintings in the background?
ReplyDeleteThank you Dexter is a poser.
