Why does he keep doing it?
He knows he'll have to stay outside
then face my vinegar concoction
and there's nowhere to hide

he's going to get a bath for sure!
You'd think he'd learn after just once,
yet there he goes into the woods again
to come back smelling like defensive skunks.

Guess I know why people want to know
why I keep on drinking...

it's the nature of the beast-
born and bred with no thinking
about the consequences of stinking...

but it's fun while it lasts, at the very least.

Excellent! The correlation works very well, passing shadows. There are just some things we gotta do at a given time, no matter the circumstances.

In truth, I'd rather my dog drink.

A solid analogy with humor and seriousness. It is always a pleasure to read. Peace.

He he your sense of humour is really showing here PS
A big smile spread across this ol mug.

Thanks for the nice light hearted start to my day and keep that damn dog away from those skunks!

I'm sending you over a beautiful Margarita with a lightly salted rim to give ya the shining feeling while you study the depth of these mammal mysteries.
In one of those huge wide mouthed stemmed glasses a tidy little buffer of 4 oz. and mix.

Love ya girl!

I know this feeling oh so well.
The battle with that persistent smell.
Why do they continue to chase the source?
Leaving us with no recourse.
The smell that brings so much strife.
Ah oh well, its a dogs life!

Very true!

Love it!

Dave
