So a little bird just told me that Other Dog has retired. The red KW has been cleaned out, vacuumed, washed and returned to FL Moore and the keys handed in. (Were the second logbooks burned...???)

I just wanted to say Congratulations to one of the biggest assh......I mean one of my best and closest friends on his retirement. Please enjoy a safe, healthy and happy life with Zina from Florida now from Virginia. You certainly deserve every good fortune that is hopefully headed your way. Thank you for being a good friend- we do not get to see each other often but I consider you family and if Zina from Florida now from Virginia becomes Mrs. Other Dog that means she will be family too.  Love you guys and god bless you!!! 

Now, the question remains: What are you going to do on Monday morning? I have a great suggestion, how does "Other Dog's Steel Coil Chaining School and Brass Pole-a-torium" sound? It's a combination school to teach proper coil chaining and stripper bar. We can have all kinds of Winfall Wimmen and smoke some brisket (not close to the building) and have some Schlitz and Jack Daniels. We will make millions, I promise!! (I think.)
 

millions, eh? Sounds good to me, then I could afford the lot rent at most any campground in Florida for a month or two.

Yes, moved the nut.  It would only get maybe 900* on a hard pull. Now it goes about 1100*.  Fuel economy has not changed.

 

Well I hope the boss doesn't see the broken seal on the pump, you'll have to fire yourself for tampering with the pump.

Amen Brother..... I sometimes look at my 3 pup's, and just "Well-up"  They aren't just Dogs.... If people loved each other Half as much as a Dog loves us and we love them..... We would only have to watch the news.... to get the weather report... You Go Dog!!  Jojo

True. He was going to Harrisonburg and Macungie this year, so many of you would have gotten to meet him.

Zina had already reserved rooms at pet friendly motels for us.

Just now, other dog said:

Thank you,I will do that.

You really do get attached,  and they are family. Not "like" family, family. We loved Ollie, and pretty much everything around here centered around him.

Oh, man.  Sorry to hear Tom.  It's tough when it happens like that.

I remember when I was quite young, not sure even if in Jr High yet.  We had rescued a stray collie(we seemed to do that a lot back then with lots of different animals).  It had only been a short time, it was winter, and "Princy" got loose, ran across the yard and darted out in the street from behind a big snow pile at the end of the drive.  Car hit him, never knew it happened as they never slowed down.

Yeah, it really sucks. I took off from work today to be with Zina, and today is worse than yesterday.  Ollie was only 7 years old, full of energy. She keeps blaming herself,  asking me if there was anything she could have done differently,  and I keep telling her that it was not her fault, it was just a freak accident. He never went to the road, but he did. There's hardly any traffic here, but there was then.

We took him over to the funeral home today, he will be cremated.

Sorry to hear this.  I never met him but did exchange some messages.  Was he originally from Danbury Conn.?

Yep.

Thank you. This was rough, I thought the world of Other Dog but his passing was not unexpected,  he was very old and didn't get around very good anymore.  But Ollie was our buddy, a fun one at that, full of life, he went everywhere with us. I would always call from just down the road when I was coming home, so he could watch for me out of the front door. Then she would let him out after I stopped and he would run out, like Dino greeting Fred Flintstone I always said. 

Ollie went outside with Zina earlier today when she was taking some trash out to the burn barrel.  He saw a squirrel right away and took off in hot pursuit- right towards the road. And he never goes towards the road. Until today. And a pickup truck pulling a trailer happened to be passing by and hit him and killed him. I heard Zina screaming and went running but he was dead when I got there.

She was sitting on the ground crying, she had to see the whole thing. The guy in the pickup stopped, he was almost crying, and apologized over and over. I was almost crying too- ok, I was crying- when I picked him up and carried him over to the porch. Everybody loved Ollie.

 I carried him around back where she couldn't see and laid him on the ground by Other Dog's grave, then got the shovel out of the shed and started digging his grave. 

It was raining then, and Zina came out and asked if she could have him cremated, and of course I said "of course you can, if that's what you want". So I carried him back around front and put him in the shed. I had started putting him in a black plastic bag around back, but I didn't close it. I've been out to the shed and looked at him about 5 times now, hoping he was going to "come to", but it's not going to happen. It just still doesn't seem real.

This was just this morning. 

I'm kinda the same way, I have some kind of spam blocker on my phone, I don't remember what it's called, but I get calls and it'll say "potential spam", so I just ignore it. I seem to get a lot of them after 5pm, so that's another clue that it's not legit. 

I pretty much only answer calls from people that are on my contact list, unless their name starts with "R", then I ignore it anyway.

Hi!
