Julie's Latest Rescue

My gorgeous wife Julie is also one of the most compassionate people on the planet. Late last month, as the result of a promise she made to Dorothy, one of her favorite clients at the animal clinic, we inherited Skipper.

Like most males, Skipper is a real sweetheart until he starts drinking! Then, of course, we have the usual problems – late night carousing, barking until the early morning hours, running with the wrong crowd.

Here’s a typical picture of Skipper after a Saturday night spent partying. Fortunately, he’s not an angry drunk. In fact, he can be a lot of fun when he’s partying as evidenced by a joke I overheard him tell some friends the other night!

“Q: What do you call a dog with no back legs and brass balls?"
“A: Sparky!”

That one always makes me laugh!

While Skipper can be fun.. I am hoping that Julie get's him under control soon. He’s already burned 3 holes in our couch.

padre, I must congratulate you on a job well done. Some of your last few posts have been filled with spotty grammar, sloppy syntax, and let's not forget incoherent rhyming :D But this post keeps a good pace, avoids repetition, and has enough sharp wit to make the TSA consider it a banned item on airplanes. It has officially earned the English major's seal of approval. Sha-blamm!! Thank you for sharing this post with us, your loyal viewership. It is posts like these that keep us coming back for more.

No, at that point in our lives it was Hannah's red hair that was getting all the attention. She could hardly go out in public without someone coming up to her wanting to touch it. Oh the strange things people will do.
