Another Dog's Death

John Updike

For days the good old bitch had been dying, her back
pinched down to the spine and arched to ease the pain,
her kidneys dry, her muzzle white. At last
I took a shovel into the woods and dug her grave

in preparation for the certain. She came along,
which I had not expected. Still, the children gone,
such expeditions were rare, and the dog,
spayed early, knew no nonhuman word for love.

She made her stiff legs trot and let her bent tail wag.
We found a spot we liked, where the pines met the
    field.
The sun warmed her fur as she dozed and I dug;
I carved her a safe place while she protected me.

I measured her length with the shovel’s long handle;
she perked in amusement, and sniffed the heaped-up
    earth.
Back down at the house, she seemed friskier,
but gagged, eating. We called the vet a few days later.

They were old friends. She held up a paw, and he
injected a violet fluid. She swooned on the lawn;
we watched her breathing quickly slow and cease.
In a wheelbarrow up to the hole, her warm fur shone.

Nothing says more about your lame loser soul than wearing alternative jerseys (that aren't even your school colors) for a nationally televised game

  Wear black at home all the time or never at all.

Anniversary Made Aware

Mustang Bobby reminds us that 38 years ago today the first Python episode was taped and asks for favorites. Mine?

Yeah yeah yeah, I've posted it before, but I always think of it during a Republican sex scandal.

We went to a shopping mall. We laughed at all the shoppers. security guards trailed us To a record shop. We asked for Mojo Nixon. They said, "He don't work here." We said "If you don't got Mojo Nixon, your store could use some fixin.'"

But we jumped up on the table and shouted "Anarchy!"
