UPDATE:
Watch the Backyard Dog music video.

This has not been a good few weeks for Quimby and I.

I was outside with him, and he was doing his usual freak out thing, like he always does. I was actually filming him, when out of nowhere he is limping. Then there was blood lots of it. Long story short, I took him to the vet, as the large pad on his front right paw was sliced almost completely in half, and there was no way it was going to heal without stitches.

He was all drugged up for the first week, but once the meds were running low, I came home and found he had got out of his collar and his boot. Of course he had licked his paw clean, which meant licking out the dissolving stitches. That meant another trip to the vet, and another round of surgery. They had me bring him in a few days later to check the wound and re-wrap it. Totally could have wrapped it myself, but they charged $36 for it, despite the fact that my special lady friend had to help them!

I’ve been checking his wound nightly to make sure it’s not bleeding, but last night there was blood. Upon removal of the bandage, the smell was overpowering. Just really, really bad. So he will be going back, I hope it’s nothing.

I’ve written an 80′s hair band parody song called “Backyard Dog” that I will be offering in order to help raise some money to help cover the cost of the bills, which are over $1000 at this time. If you want to help out, you can donate below. Also be sure to watch the hilarious video for backyard dog.

Actually, that dog is Moxie. Owned by Chris and Sara, Moxie is intense and awesome. Moxie likes boats, barking, running, and meditation. Great doggy, lots of energy.

I think I may have featured Wylee before, but I am nearly positive that we were not on a boat. Wylee is owned by my good friends Kevin and Gina. Gina does amazing work over at the NH Humane Society, so if you are near Laconia and need a pet, contact them. I don’t thin Kevin will let Gina bring home any more kittens, puppies, or rabbits, so please, for his sake, go and adopt ALL THE THINGS!

This is Lula. She is owned by the world’s greatest wedding photographer in Maine, Dave. She also for some reason unknown to me, hates my guts. She is friendly to other people, but wants no part of what I’m offering. She didn’t want a photo, she didn’t want to look at me, she didn’t like my face. I don’t honestly know why. Maybe she was treated poorly by a portly hairy man. There’s just no way to tell. Anyway, Dave sold me his old computer, which was awesome. While I was there he somehow managed to snap this photo before Lula could run off. Anyway, this is probably my favorite photo ever. I really love the way it came out. Notice how it has more depth and better colors than my other photos? That’s because Dave took it, and he knows what he’s doing.

At last weekends Ween concert, don’t remember the name, or the people, I think they were nice.
