Totally unrelated

I just was thinking about my old dog. Desdemona or Dez for short. She was a black lab with a heart of gold and an amazing ability to jump up and can a guy the second he walked in the door. When I lived with Ky and Shannon, Dez had her favourite toy. It was a little teeny Cabbage Patch type doll. She chewed the crap out of it and would leave random body parts littering the floor. The funniest was the baby hand laying in the hallway. I think that totally freaked Shannon out. After awhile she destroyed the whole doll except for the head. She LOVED the baby head and would bring it out regularly to chew on and throw about like a ball. It was awesome. When company would come over, I would say "Dez, go get your baby head" and she'd bring it in like it was the best thing on earth. It was awesome. After awhile, she chewed out spaces where the eyes were. So, we put the baby head on our Christmas tree and the eyes glowed red in the dark. Sigh. Good times.

  1. I love how your dog had a penchant for sacking guys. It must be the Lab, because Chloe LOVES to stick her nose where is doesn't belong...ALL the time. If you know what's good for you you won't bend over at my house. I am violated by her within 3 seconds of being in her presence....not funny.

  3. It's true - the baby head was the most fun toy ever. And it's also true that the baby hand freaked me out. I wonder if there is something wrong with me that I tear up at the site of a plastic hand on the floor but giggle with glee when an eyeless baby head is atop the Christmas tree. Dez was the best. I miss her.

  5. I will always remember her as the "pant licker". She would always lick the same part of my pants (left outer thigh) over and over again until it was damp.
