my best friend

my best buddy, scooby doo, died yesterday: he was an 11-year-old american eskimo in fine health. he traveled shotgun with me when i made the drive from baltimore to los angeles this july; he was definitely the leader of our little traveling circus between the cat, myself and him. light and smiling, nobody could resist wanting to snuggle up to him.  even with his early passing, these last years were his best --  he had two owners prior to me.                     

before i moved out west, i'd been going to eastern animal hospital (EAH) in baltimore, maryland, for 18 years because the people who run that hospital are some of the greatest people i know; right there on the edge of town...on the edge of east charm city--                  

none of us knew at the time of my trip to california that a cancerous tumor was growing inside of scooby's spleen and that it would burst this past sunday and that i would have to rush put him to the vet monday to have him put down before he suffered --         

this spleen cancer is a horrible cancer; there's no way of knowing it's there until it' too late; it happens with no warning,  and there is no cure or reasonable treatment--                          

however, many years earlier, prior to the discovery of scooby's killer tumor, EAH dr. estelle ward, phoned me with an interesting, yet circuitous question which sounded something like, 'how i would i like to take home a 2-year-old beautiful dog that's too be to cute to be euthanized.' the dog, sky, had been hit by a car and the owner didn't want to pay for the surgery; they wanted to put sky down.           

after i agreed to take sky home, i subsequently change his name to scooby (which was controversial yet, as a purest, stricly based on the cartoon character, not those dumb ass movies)                                 

so, on his day off, EAH owner dr. jonathan kaufmann, came in to the hospital to perform the $2500 leg reconstruction surgery on scooby for $0 and in so doing gave me the privilege of sharing my life with that sweet dog for the next nine years...you couldn't not love him

                                                                                  

to everyone at eastern animal hospital; thank you for always treating him like a king.              

and to jonathan and estelle, thanks for yesterday even so late into the night~                                                                                 

i love you scoob...(i hate cancer; you motherfucker!!)

changes...

it just takes one fucking foot in front of the other~                                  

NEW USE FOR THE OL' DILDO...

prima donna lead singer/guitarist kevin tyler preston uses his, (dildo that is), as an accessory for his guitar; it's his slide -- and it definitely does...slide                                   

you gotta check out this sparkly, sexy, tuneful band~

dillon and drew (and gino)

the hannah family from catonsville, maryland, are some of the most creatively inspired people i know -- i'd often joke that coming to their house to teach their youngest son dillon guitar was like entering a magical portal where imagination ruled...                                                        

above is a link to a crazy little video 11-year-old dillon and his friend drew made one day when they were bored --  just click on their names...                                                                                                                          

it took about 800 digital photos (and one day) to make the short and this was their first try! also, dillon's 18-year-old brother gino did the soundtrack; i believe that was a first try as well~
