I've been very busy of late - not just driving for ONU and volunteering at the hospital
- but also cloning my daughter’s dog, Sparky. Yes, you read that right.
He's such a wonderful, delightful dog and one of these days they’ll come pick him up and he’ll be gone. And I will miss him.
So, I've decided I want my own dog - one to keep - to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, in sickness and in health, and that kinda dog nonsense.
However, there's a slight problem.
Something went wrong in the lab.
Here's a poem to explain the dilemma and I'll attach a picture, if I don't
forget.
Ready?
Would you like to buy a dog?
With a tail at each end?
He is quite the strangest dog there is in town.
Though he's not too good at knowing
Just exactly where he's going
He's very, very good at sitting down.
He doesn't have a place to put a collar
and I'll admit it's rather hard to lead him
And he cannot hear you call
For he has no ears at all
But it doesn't cost a single cent to feed him.
He cannot bite, he'll never bark or growl
Just scratch him on his tails
He'll find it pleasin'
But you'll have to take him out
For twice as many times
And I'll bet that you can quickly guess the reason.
