One of my poor dogs had to have surgery today. He’s been sleeping, heavily sedated, and now he is up and kinda mopping around. He’s definitly uncomfortable. I feel sorry for him.

He keeps coming over and standing by me and then wanders over and tries to lay down again. Then he’s up again and lays down again. He just can’t seem to get comfortable. If Beloved Curmudgeon was awake I’d ask him if I could give him another pain pill. But he’s not and I’m afraid to overdose our dog.

He’s not the brightest dog in the world. Well, truth be told, he’s really pretty dumb. Actually, he’s very dumb. It’s kinda astonishing how dumb he is. We tease him about how dumb he is but he takes it all in stride. He doesn’t care, he’s beaufiful and he knows it. We call him the Baywatch of Dogs.

He has one job and he does it well. He serves as protector. He keeps an eye on us and our property. It’s a taxing job, so he requires a good deal of praise and special compensation for his work. He gets a lot of treats and must be pampered and petted when he demands it, which is pretty much all of the time. He relaxes in the shade when there are no imminent threats afoot.

He also plays with our older, larger and much wiser mutt who tolerates him as best she can. She showed up at our door one day, apparently made the decision that we were acceptable and stayed. Since he was here first, she seems to defer to him eventhough the gap in their intellectual functioning is nothing short of dumbfounding and fodder for a lot of pretty funny family stories.

So all our poor dog knows tonight is that he’s uncomfortable and in need of a lot of petting and ‘poor baby’. Poor baby.

Speaking of ‘poor baby’. Random Yak sprained his wrist. Ouch.
