Back in October I got a new pup.  Argos...same bloodline as Aslan...so I expect big things out of him.  He was 7 lbs when I got him and up to 50 now, so I don't think he'll get huge.  He's a bit high strung...and with all due respect to Nolan Richardson...he has not seen "40 minutes of hell".  Perhaps a slight exageration, but the energy level between a 15 year old dog and a pup is a wee bit different.  I forgot how tough a pup could be at times.  He's really a great dog...everyone is his best friend, house broke, has only destroyed dog toys, prefers creamy over chunky...but he has a couple

The ride is over. Last week I had to put my boy down. By far, the hardest thing I ever had to do. Aslan lived for 15 years 3 months, a good run for a golden. The last 5 weeks he had diarrhea and was not eating enough. He spent several days in the dog hospital before coming home and the vets suspected cancer. At his age I did not want to put him through sedation for a scope, or chemo treatments for 28 consecutive weeks. Nutrients were not being absorbed by his body and he was losing about 2 pounds a week. I was sustaining him by giving him sub q fluids daily to keep him hydrated and letting

I had several people ask about Aslan, so I thought I would do an update. Aslan’s 14th birthday is today. I just gave him a little ice cream and maybe later I will let him go trolling the park for some doggie strange.

I have a friend that claims to often say inappropriate things. She calls it “lacking a filter”. It is a phrase I am going to adopt.

So….I was in the other room the other night, either watching TV or masturbating, and I heard a loud crash. I started going towards the noise and a few seconds later, my dog lets out loud howls of pain, ones I have never heard from him. I run over to him, he is on the ground motionless, his food ejected on the carpet, and he is laying in his own urine. After saying fuck a dozen times, he regains his senses after about 15 seconds…it was all the swearing. My thought is that he either had a stroke or was choking, and when he fell on the floor it dislodged his kibble.
