To the Afterlife!

Today was a sad day for my dog parents. They took me into the vet again to make my leg all better. It swelled up a few days ago, and today was just insane. I even thought to myself, "Leg, how the hell did you get so big?" Evidently, the vet ran out of magic fairy dust for pooches. They should really make more of that. Cats have the market cornered on that stuff. 9 lives! I'd settle for just another go at naptime on this earth.

So, today was the end of it all on this big ball of dirt. I'm off to better parts. Somewhere that features a big lawn full of fire-hydrants to pee on sounds like a good place to go. Maybe they'll also fix my back right this time. You guys all remember when I threw it out a few years ago, right? All my hind parts continued to work, but I had to hobble around like a handicap-pup. Maybe in doggie paradise they'll give me a new set of wheels. I'd like Baxter's wheels. That white annoying dog sure can zoom around the place.

However, before I say goodbye to you all here, I'd like to tell my doggie parents that they were the best ever. They always did their best to entertain me. I'm a hard dog to entertain, too! I like to sleep a lot. You only really have one good hour of my attention, otherwise I have better things to dream about. You know how us Bassets work. But yeah, they were amazing parents and went to a whole heap of trouble to humor my odd quirks. Like my bone burring thing. They'd throw me something and I'd just bury it. No reason, but just because it was there. And my peeing inside. They'd just look at me and pat me on the head for trying to get outside. Sometimes it is just time to leave. It's my time now. I love you all and have been so grateful to you for rescuing me from the pound. That place blew! You gave me an incredible 4 years. I love you guys as much as I know you love me.

Best,
Scrapy
