Fresh Air

September 7, 2023

The dust has settled from the weekend. Evelyn and I are back at work and Mister’s been catching some much-needed ZZZs. And, he’s got a lot to show for it! His back-left leg regained some strength and he’s been able to stand/walk in short spurts!

The next main event is his staple removal. The incision is notably smaller than last time and far less gruesome looking. Though, it’s far from pleasant. What’s really great about getting the staples removed, is we’ll finally be able to give him a bath! Recently, it’s just been baby wipes. You may not have thought about it, but the smell a little sausage dog can build up after peeing and pooping on himself for a week is nothing to turn your nose at. There’s only so much Pampers Baby-Clean can do for you….

The Nashville Dachshund Derby is coming up in a month on October 8th. Mister raced in this event last year and even won his heat! Can you believe it? He won and now he can barely use the bathroom. If you know anyone connected to the derby, I think it would be awesome if Mister could do the opening heat. A pup can dream, right?

Anyway, the excitement and sweat of summer is dwindling away as the fresh air of fall welcomes us into a new expanse. For some, it may simply be a change of season, but for others it is a season of change. Every year, I find peace in this delicate transition. Just as the leaves fall, It’s an opportunity for us to brush off the past and stand naked in the street while everyone drives by and comments on how dead we look. I’m sorry, that took a sudden turn. If it were up to me, the year would start in September and end in August. Who wants to start off in the freezing cold? What a stupid idea. Wow, I’m getting way off track now.

I think I’m just going to stop there,
Dylan
