Two Dogs
A women had two small dogs that were the love of her life. When they died, she could not bear to be without them. She took them to a specialist to have them preserved.
"Madam", the technician asked, "would you like the dogs mounted as well?"
"No", sniffed the bereaved women, "I would prefer them lying on their sides."
I had an Blue Merle Australian Shepherd, that we raised from a pup. When the kids all left home and I retired, Silver and I became his best friend. We went everywhere together. I took him to church, work, doctor appointments, visiting, and anywhere I went. He crawled in bed the moment my wife got up and watched and followed me every step I took. He had two white eyes. Because his eyes were so peculiar he scared people, especially the superstitious ones. He watched and once in a while he would let a low growl so I would know he was wary of them.
One time an insurance salesman came to the house. The dog lay next to me and growled the whole time.
"Relax, Sliver", I told him, "this is an insurance saleman. They taste like Jehovah's Witness!"
Needless to say the saleman didn't think it was funny.
Losing him was really hard.
