poor little dodger dog

poor little dodger dog did not make it. after the vet had given us a clean bill of health and we did not let him around the other dogs until we had that, turns out he had parvo and by yesterday when i left on road he got so sick he could barely move and rhonda took him back in and they said that it was highly unlikely he would survive so we put him down. poor little thing. i am seriously pissed at vet for the "clean bill of health" which has now put my other two dogs at risk. i get so attached to dogs in such a short amount of time. i find all this out when i get off plane here in houston. so there i am yesterday, crying in hobby airport. fuck.

all the polls that i have seen show that obama won last night's debate and probably the deciding factor was the endless attacks on senator obama by senator mc cain. one poll on cnn showed that 85% of democrats thought obama won while only 62% of republicans thought mc cain was the winner. that bodes much ill towards the mc cain camp.

the "joe the plumber" was a nice touch though by mc cain but it was undermined by the fact that "joe" (joes show up a lot in this blog don't they?) refused to endorse any candidate. i am sure that we will see many commercials about him.

mc cain does not seem to get that his attack ads are not really helping him beyond stirring up his base and are, in fact, turning many swing and independent voters against him. he does not seem to grasp that the american public wants to hear about the economy and not william ayers.

if you want to see how really vicious political campaigns can be look up the election year of 1800 where john adams and thomas jefferson were the two candidates. horrible things were said about both. it was really something.

oh well, gotta go. peace to us all.

(thanks for the updates on ringo...i had no idea of what people were talking about...apparently missed the whole story but i wasn't sending fan mail to ringo anyway)

Aw man. I'm sorry to hear about your dog. They can become like a family member in no time at all. Our thoughts are with you from up here in Fort Worth.
Take care.

thanks to both of you. i hated to do it but with me being gone 4 of the next 5 weeks and rhonda still recuperating and with the dire forecast by the vet i felt i had no choice but it broke my heart.
