Life is funny....not funny, "haha"...but funny, "WTF"?



just when things seem like they're going along smoothly....

for starters, my parents' dog, King, vanished into thin air yesterday morning. My Dad let him out at 9am as he does every morning, and King never returned. Mind you, King is nearly 15 years old, fairly deaf, and probably blind, with severe arthritis in his hind legs. He also pretty much stopped eating about a week ago, but for some strange reason, got up and ate a good breakfast yesterday morning..the day that he disappeared. My parents looked for 5 straight hours yesterday around the very small town that they live in (that is bordered by 2 major highways)....and found nothing. The police and fire department have been called, as has every pound and humane society in the telephone book (yes, they still use those in New Alexandria), posted "lost dog" fliers with promise of reward around town, and have dispatched everyone within earshot to find King-o. And nothing. Seriously. Where the hell is the goddamned dog? Yes, King was old, and didn't have much time left to begin with, but we're all worried that he's suffering, and it's pretty sad, to say the least. Paul and I used to joke that King would never die, as he seemed to have 9 lives (he certainly outlived my healthy, spry young pup, Jessie)...and Paul thinks that this is King's final act of defiance..."I may be dead, I may not be...you'll never know". I know, he's just a dog...but those of you who are dog parents, you know that it runs a lot deeper. Poor Kingy......

Other shitty events today as well, but nothing to discuss here. More later..
