I'll be darned. Well, Dachshunds do have trouble with their anal glands, so I'm glad someone is coming to the rescue.

Around here, they say, "Get up or they'll take you to that damn hospital."

Works every time, too. Told a seven-week-gone corpse that and the fella was dancing the next night and fathered three more kids before he moved to Seattle and died.

Dear 'Spaw,

I'm sorry you've been ill. I'm particularly sorry you were in the hospital. I'm very, very sorry you were in ICU.

Now of course I'm glad you're improving or so I hear in this thread. I'm sorry I'm late in posting I don't usually read below the line, this time my finger slipped and I happened to see your name.

Your illness puts me in mind of "New York CPR"

One stands over the stricken individual, leans in close and says in a loud voice: "Get up before you fucking die."

Allow me to paraphrase:

"Get out of the hospital before you fucking die."

your friend, Chance

So... out of ICU. It just gets better and thank goodness for that. I mean, who is gonna answer all my truck questions? I am trying ta swing a new truck or hang onto the old one and I need his advice.

Spaw, you had better get better soon on accounta if I can and do swing a new truck and it's a clunker, it's your fault.

He called, again! Mick must've lit him up a bit more.*bg* He sounded much better even than last night. The docs said maybe they'll spring him out this weekend, but it's more likely to be the first of the week and I told him not to push it. Being such a loyal layabout, he agreed with that.

Karen was having a nice moment at home, sitting on her exercise ball which is just the right height to view her fish in the 55 gallon aquarium and she bought two new beauties, today. It's a good way for her to relax. Mick's right, though, about the way those two go about things; Pat goes down, Karen speeds up.:-)

It sure is good to hear him speak.

You should know better than to challenge the Master of Sloth, Mick. Listen, man, I have got a fat old Dachshund here who is so frikkin' lazy that he won't even get up to take a crap or get a drink of water. Nothing will move this dog. He expects ME to lift his leg for HIM when he takes a pee. I am trying to get him employment after years of this indolent and parasitical lifestyle of his which has generated nothing but an endless flow of bills for food and outrageously expensive veterinary treatment. I have submitted his resume to numerous local and national outfits for the following positions:

1. doorstop
2. bookend
3. industrial-strength paperweight
4. air de-freshener (he is damn good at that!)
5. imitation roadkill (you can hardly tell the difference, really...)

So far no responses. I fear that this dog may remain unemployed and a financial burden on me for the rest of his unnatural life!

And you know what?

Spaw is EVEN WORSE than that!

So don't even try to compete with him, Mick. Just accept what cannot be changed. ;-D

OK, folks, I just got off the phone with Spaw. I started by telling him that he was an asshole, and needed a good swift kick in the 'nads. I let him know that he really pissed me off, cause all of a sudden my daily PM's from Mudcat women and other friends had dried up!!! No one was inquiring how I was doing anymore!!! And I found out it was because Spaw made a desperate play for attention, even getting himself admitted to ICU, just to get all the friggin' attention. He let me know I was a friggin' amateur and that's what I got for messing with the best. Then we talked about billable hours in Lane, Fielding, Patterson & Swan, Layabouts at Large and for Hire. He said that he thought that for a while there he might be in a position to mount a challenge to Fielding for the most billable hours next year, but some damned Doctor got involved and now he is on the mend. I told I had to cancel 3 months worth of gigs in order to have any chance of catching up to him on laying about.

Bottom line is, he is on the mend, is out of ICU, and Karen is settling down a bit. Karen and Pat are a real team, and when Pat goes down, Karen goes into hyper drive, taking care of everything and neglecting herself. And Pat lays there and worries about things getting done and Karen's health. So the healing needs to get on. And while you are sending cards to Spaw, don't forget to send a card to Karen. She is the best.

Love these folks,

All the best,

Mick

You're welcome, folks, thanks. I don't mean to be a wet blanket, but he is still in ICU and still needs lots of good thoughts, etc. The phone call was quite brief, but heartfelt, of course.:-)

Rapaire...saggy goes back to I think it was Aine who used to call him a "saggy bottomed tortoise." To me, he's always been Peaches from the old hotrod story thread; named my dulcimer after him, even, him Peaches, I mean.:-) I suppose he might be soggy, too, though.*bg*

Don, that was beautiful.:-)

well this is good news...

I think you misspelled "saggy". Shouldn't it be "sOggy"? Or perhaps both? Or perhaps "saggy soggy stinky"?

And that thing about hairballs -- he only has one, and is forced by poverty to use it over and over. Don't condemn someone because they're a poor excuse.

Hey Spaw!
I just had a thought!
I was wondering about my lunch and thought "Ooh! Peanut Butter on my sandwich would be REALLY nice today!"
I'm about to make it, so I probably don't need the thought again for a while.
I reckon that makes it a "Spare Thought", so where did it belong if not the Spare Thoughts for Spaw thread???
Feel free to use it any time you want, but once you are done, pass it on to someone in greater need of a thought!
Quack!

Apropos of nothing:

When Bella Lugosi passed away his funeral was very small. He died in almost total poverty. He was buried in his costume from Dracula.
Boris Karloff came to the wake and while viewing the body was heard to say. "Bella, If you are putting me on...?" Then he bowed his head and walked off.

Spaw, if this has all been a large joke, next time I drive through to visit my daughter in Kentucky I'll stop by and shake your hand for I am in the presence of a master. If not. Take a pill and get better.

Well, that was a surprise! I got a call from Himself, tonight. Quite brief, but still sounded like himself and not some saggy-bottomed, lung-clogged, hairball-hacking invalid. Silly man, called to make sure I was okay after he heard some news I told Karen about. (I am fine!) Then, he had to go, but it sure was good to hear his voice.

I'm about to decide that the speed of Mudcat is somehow psychically related to 'Spaw's health and the rate of his recovery.

Get better faster, Pat, so the 'Cat will speed up! Ya' hear me?

Karen, hope you can find time to take care of yourself as well as your old man and the youngin's. If you have friends, family or neighbors that can help with getting the kids to and fro, please ask them to pitch in so you can get some rest. And remember, housework and laundry are always there to be done, and can be neglected for the sake of a good night's sleep, or a bit of personal time. Ain't like it is all going to run away from home if it doesn't get done tonight.
