DOGS AND OTHER CLOSE RELATIVES

sir thomas moore dog lost his battle and we had to do the humane thing and put him down. it was a damn shame, he had to go before his time, he was only 9 or maybe ten. that is one of the problems with the pure bred dogs, they are subject to more health problems than the mutts of the world. moore dog was the next to last survivor of my "ranch pack," with only marcus a. dog being left. at one time i had 9 dogs when i lived on a little ranch north of los angeles, all rescued except for che dog the great dane and sir thomas moore dog whom i got from a doberman rescue. when marcus goes, and that won't be long being he is about 15 years old, we are going to get a female dane or dobie for maverick (legend of the west) dog (my two year old fawn male great dane, all 175 pounds of him--the puppy of the house, to have as a playmate. i can't imagine not having a couple of big dogs. put it this way, i don't like to lock my doors. my wife does not have to feel jumpy coming home when i am out of town. and you know that scene in PSYCHO where she is in the shower? you know how sometime when you are home alone and in the shower how that scene comes back to you? that doesn't happen to me or rhonda.

besides,a dog will love you when nobody else does. a dog will always think you are the greatest fucking thing he has ever seen. always. the big dogs, bred for personal protection, will lay down their lives for you. a dog is always ready for a game. they always have a good attitude. a cocker spaniel will chase a ball and bring it back to you until your arm falls off from throwing the ball. a lab will get stoned with you. put a red bandana on a black lab's neck and he looks like he was made to wear it. walk a great dane and a hundred people a day will start conversations with you. (remember this if you are single and have trouble meeting the opposite sex. nothing breaks the ice like a great dane. (so to speak) ((both literally and figuratively))

my son, hudson, has a movie coming out on the 27th of jan. on the family movie channel which, we found out, is not carried on all cable networks. the title of the movie is FAMILY and hudson wrote it. it was his first try at writing a movie. wrote one and sold that little booger. as most of you know, hudson does special effects for the movies and has worked on some blockbusters, titanic for one and fifth element for another. FAMILY has no special effects whatsoever. it is a psychological thriller and is quite good (being a totally unbiased reviewer of course). my son is a very talented man. his wife, molly, is a film editor for A&E' BIOGRAPHY and was up for an emmy last year for a special on STAR WARS. molly is a very talented and beautiful woman. they make a stunning couple if i do say so myself. they have two beautiful boxers dogs and are constantly rescuing dogs and finding owners for them. we all agree that if their is a dog heaven and a people heaven, put us down with the dogs. (or up with the dogs as that is more likely)

so, a bow wow to all of you and let's lift a doggie bisquit for moore dog, he was a good boy.
