Might have to take my EX partner in crime behind the shed and shot him.

Back in the day when I grew ganja for fun and profit I had a trusted partner who was my ears and eyes. I will always be eternally grateful for him keeping me out of harms way and out of jail but I am starting to think its time to take him behind the shed and shoot him because he has started urinating on the carpets in front of the wife.
My ganja partner was my dog Sundance who is now 14 years old and actually he doesn’t just urinate on the carpet in front of the wife
(I just said that to make things more interesting and not so sad).
He is starting to loose control of his bowels so he can’t help it – we are hoping he dies peacefully in his sleep but if it comes to a time that he has to be put down I will wonder if it would be more human and more easier on Sundance and I - if I just shoot him instead of a lethal injection. I figure a lethal injection takes a few minutes and some were in those minutes Sundance will think I betrayed him.
I also figure just bringing Sundance to the vet for the injection would be a heavy the only time Sundance was at a vet was when he was 3 and he had to have an emergency castration because he got in a really – really bad fight (if you know what I mean). Well I was waiting in line at the vet a lady who was about 15 dog years old and holding a small dog looked at me holding a 90 pound dog and said – he must be heavy and I said – he aint heavy he’s my brother - I stole that from Blood Sweat And Tears but I don’t think she got the reference because she was only 15 dog years old. Cheers!

I feel your pain, Nanoose. I still cry like a girl every time I replay Old Yeller. (I don't mean to spoil the ending for those who haven't seen the movie, but the gist of the story is a boy and his dog are attacked by wild boars, the dog gets rabies, and the boy has to shoot his dog. I still don't understand why the dog got rabies but the boy didn't, but I digress...) Sundance has had a long run, and I hope he goes peacefully in his sleep, too, but if the time comes when he's in pain and misery, you do what you have to do. Till then, he's probably enjoying lazing about, reminiscing about his outlaw days.

A couple of weeks ago I watched Old Yeller on an old VCR tape and I was kind of hoping old yeller wouldn’t come down with the rabies (I seen the movie many times I was just hoping). There was a part in the movie that I am wondering about too - when old Yeller’s owner came to the farm (who was the actor from the TV series The Rifale Man in case you didn’t know) he told the boy about a disease that the wild animals and live stock were getting – it was like mad cow disease . What I am wondering about is I thought mad cow disease was something new in the 80s and if I rememmber they were saying it couldn’nt spread to other spieces.
But in the movie it did spread to differt types of animal. Cheers!

[Wahoo]

Been a long time since I watched Old Yeller, Nanoose, but it's all coming back to me now. Turns out the wild boars weren't rabid, and both the kid and his dog recovered from those wounds, but I completely forgot about lone wolf later in the movie that mauled Old Yeller trying to defend the boy. The wolf did have rabies, and that's how Old Yeller got it. I'm pretty sure Mad Cow Disease and rabies are different animals. Rabies is a big problem in my area--lots of rabid foxes and raccoons.

A crazy woman tried to bite my tongue off once when I was younger. Maybe she had rabies. That was a close one!

[Nanoose]

Well in the movie there was a part about rabies and a part about something like mad cow dieses their cow caught it - also they figured the boars might have it - they had some kind of root that gave a chance of not getting that mad cow dieses. Cheers!

I've always talked other people into taking my pets to their last vet visit. It's not so much the pain of giving the kill order, rather it's those bastards talking me into paying $$$$ for useless tests and procedures. Our last two dogs cost us somewhere around $5,000 to get rid off. Our current dog has been pissing in the house, eating my french doors, stealing our food......it's getting an all expense trip to the dog pound soon! I would shoot it but owning a gun in MA without a license is a felony, owning the ammo is another felony, discharging the gun in a residential neighbor is another one and I'm pretty sure the animal rights people have made it another felony to kill your own pets.

Good luck Nanoose

BTW, overdosing on cocaine is suppose to be a great way to die, see if your dog would like to do some lines?

[Wahoo]

...owning a gun in MA without a license is a felony, owning the ammo is another felony, discharging the gun in a residential neighbor is another one

Well, that sux! If you can't fire off a few rounds into the air, how can you celebrate weekends, weddings, etc?

Yesterday while I was in town getting the supplies for New Years supper I ran into a long time family friend and after I told him how the dog I got from Bev was doing he coldly said – nothing a 22 can’t solve.
I kind of wanted to slap him because Sundance deserves better then a 22 caliber that might not even do the job right the first time - probably have to go with something that makes a bit of a mess if I want to do it right.
Actually the saddest part of the conversation was thinking of Bev – she was put to sleep a few years ago but it wasn’t from a bullet or lethal injection it was from doing excacey which I figure is one of the most addictive and most dangerous drugs on the market because it is pushed as a safe drug that will enhance your sex life (people are suckers for that kind off advertising).
Part of my New Year traditions is entering the new year with the memories of the people I knew that have died what makes it hard is – in the pie chart of my mind the biggest slice of dead people are the ones who died from drugs and alcohol and the next biggest slice is the people who died of cancers est. and maybe some of them could have been saved with medical marijawana. And lots of my new year will be spent fighting for the legalization of ganja.

Through in a link to a song by the Jim Carrow Band called People Who Died - because I plan to keep on rocking in the new year (stole that last bit from Bruce Springfield). Cheers and Happy New Year!

Jimmy Legs pardons ganja criminals execution.

A couple of weeks ago my son started trying to convince me that it was time to put our family dog to sleep. Part of his reasoning was – think about mom having to clean up his mess all the time – and the dogs hurting put him out of his misery - besides the ganja connection I had nothing to convince him he was wrong.
A few hours ago Sundance was lying in front of the fire place and his legs and paws started twitching (the Jimmy legs) probably because he was having a dream and I thought it would have to be a good dream because the dog knows nothing but good. So the next time my son asks me what Sundance has to look forward to I will say the Jimmy legs.

Sundance will also die with respect 2 years ago when I got the pup that would replace Sundance I made it clear to that pup that Sundance is the boss. When it turned out that pup was gay it almost changed the pecking order around here. When pup first starting trying to get “friendly” with Sundance I would say – “no that’s mine”. Might seem a bit perverse but one of the ways I teach a dog is if they try to take food off my plate I say – no that’s mine if they try to chew on the couch I say – no that’s mine – est est. Its an easy way to teach a dog so I knew it would work with pup.
Were it might start getting perverse is there is a male dog around here and he always wears one of those leather snout collars and I think pup likes him. Cheers!

Sundance is still kicking but I thought I would add a never been seen on the Internet photo of him. The reason I never posted the photo before isn’t because I was ashamed of Sundance – it was because I was ashamed of the plants in the back ground – there pretty pathetic – I think there was a drought that year. Cheers!

Have your tried to give him some medical ganja? You never know, it works for humans.

Either that or some Molson Ice @ 5.6% alcohol. My old doberman drank beer like an Irish sailor and lived to be 6.......ok a bad example of getting pets drunk/high but at least the doberman died because we killed him when he got some messed up disease that nothing could cure (brain would tell body to do stuff and the timing was off).

I know this sounds hypocritical but I never give any of my dogs ganja partly because their brain chemicals don’t include a natural TCH like humans or if a dog does have natural THC brain chemical its in minuet traces (humans its in the millionths dogs it’s in the billions or gazillions). Also their free sprits and until a dog of mine say’s pass the doobie Humphrey I won’t share. Cheers!
