Wil Lie In State

 Sad news from Babylon-On-The-Potomac, President Biden's dog Champ has died. Damn, don't you just hate it when that happens. President Biden's dog Champ will lie in state at the pet capitol rotunda. For a little while anyway. Mitch McConnell is pitching a fit for having a pet dog lie in state anywhere on our continent. I've had to put two dogs down due to old age. Pancreatic cancer or terminal hip dysplasia will do that to dogs. The hip dysplasia left one of our dogs paralyzed and she couldn't move around at all. Our Chance dog got the dang pancreatic cancer and that was that. So it was like having to put down a couple of your own children. Sucks. President Biden's dog Champ simply succumbed to the aging process and there's not a one of us gonna beat the aging process. Champ was thirteen and that's pretty dang old for any dog let alone a German Shepard. German Shepards are quite handsome dogs. Anyway I can relate to how the President must feel. Took me a while to get over the passing of my all time favorite dog name of Chance. Our other dog that had the terminal dysplasia was named Daisy. Daisy was a cutey and she didn't have a tail. Nope. Daisy had a butt knot and that was it. Ms. Daisy could wag that butt knot when she was happy. I'm certain that the Biden's will remember their time with Champ fondly. There will be a load of tears for a while but then the sadness turns to happy memories and that's how it works. But sad memories will linger for about the remainder of your life. Dogs should be able to live on and on but, shit happens and dogs will get the cancer or turn up paralyzed or get hit by a bus or run off to never be found again. Shit happens. It is sort of funny that I get a mite weepy about a dog dying but should an asshole like trump bite the big one, well, I could not care less. You see trump is an asshole and for the most part dogs aren't. Assholes. And lastly my condolences go out to President Biden and the First Lady Jill Biden losing a dog to the Grim Reaper simply and flat out sucks. Machine art is next.
