Oh Pretty please hurry to see me because I’ve been severely mistreated while you were gone this time. The old woman Slow took me to that evil Santa Vet and he poured a can of WhipAss all over my body. Sweet Jesus. I mean, The Red Man has scars that’ll take eons to heal. We’re talking eons. The only good news is that I’m taking my pills in Pill Pockets which are lip-smacking delicious. Yummy, yummy, yummy. Pain pills in Pill Pockets. What a country.
Well Amigos Pretty is coming to my rescue and we are all going home to Casa de Canterbury. I say good riddance. I’ll miss the Little Women of Worsham Street and the rowdy Huss Brothers but I’ve been down in Texas so long I’m barking with a twang. How long have you been in Texas, Red? I’ve been in Texas so long I ALMOST don’t notice the COWS any more. And they’re everywhere down here. Trust me. We ride around these back roads in the Dodge Dakota and I’m thinking the scenery looks the same no matter where we go. If you’ve seen one cow pasture, you’ve seen ’em all. I need some City Streets. Bright lights, big city turn me loose and set me free.
Get me outta here Percy…I’ve got packing to do…lose the boots old woman…

Those boots were made for walkin’…travel plans in the future of the Pack? I want the contact info for your vet. Sounds so much more civilized, getting pain pills in puppy chow-down pellets.

Exactly so. Pill Pockets so Popular I’ve considered Popping an ambien in one. Pack on the move. 1,000 miles and counting in old Dodge Dakota with three dogs, Pretty and Slow and their knickknacks. Shades of the Joad family…only west to east.

Dig up Steinbeck, there’s work to be done. South Carolinians brace themselves for the coming attraction. Texas not big enough for the Pack? I knew it had to be a PR story thought up by the Texas Tourism Board. Road posts…

You are one funny Dude. You made me laugh this morning first thing, and I needed that! Texas not big enough for the Pack????? Hysterical. Road posts. Look for them. When you least expect them, they’ll be there. Thanks, and our best wishes to The Philosopher Red who has been strangely silent. Wasn’t kicked out of the hotel? Didn’t run out of booze?

He’s incubating…or percolating, I’m sure. I’m trying to ignore him until he’s as safe and sane as an M-80.

I figured he was up to no good wherever he was. Percolating is a good description. 🙂

You’re not running from the law, Red Man, are you? I seem to recall some recent off-the-leash activity in your local park, despite a clear warning on that rude sign. Hmmm . . .
