Memory only slumbers—never dies. ~Thomas Paine, English-born American Founding Father and political activist
My soul-dog Dallas has been at the Rainbow Bridge for nearly three-and-a-half years now, and not a single day has passed that I haven’t thought of him.
If you have a job without any aggravations, you don’t have a job. ~Malcolm S. Forbes, American entrepreneur and politician
Here I am, overseeing the garden,
Watching Mama’s pretty plants,
Chasing cute little bunnies away,
Listening to the birdies’ chants.
I’m lying in this patch of dirt
Beside the rolled-up garden hose,
Always attentive to my Mama,
No matter wherever it is she goes.
This morning she tried to walk my legs off,
Strolling around at break of day.
Don’t you think I’ve earned a rest?
Shouldn’t I really get a say?
Not around here, I’ve gotta complain.
Mama’s the alpha — the boss — she notes.
I’m just a little Monkey, you see.
Is it fair, the way she gloats?
Here’s a warning for other pups:
Choose wisely the job you want to do,
Else you’ll find yourself just like me,
Wishing for peace and a bone to chew.
Note: This is some sort of rhyming verse.
We are at our best when we give the doctor who resides within each patient a chance to go to work. ~Albert Schweitzer, Alsatian writer, humanitarian, physician, and more
Okay, let’s continue this “crappy” story, shall we? If you missed Part One, please go back and read it first. We’ll wait.
And if you’re unable to handle talk of the bathroom this early, come back and read when you’re steadier.

Today I’m going to talk about poop.
If you’re eating breakfast, or naturally queasy in the morning, may I suggest you come back and read later?
Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many. ~Author unknown
I Monkey here.
It’s been chaotic of late, so Mama has let me take over her blog again. (Besides, I have w-a-a-a-y more interesting things to say, heh heh!)
