Just One of Those Days

From H*ll.

The Crazyweiler is not feeling well. What is normally 120 pounds of high octane energy now looks like the most washed-out, depressed, down-on-his luck bum that ever slouched against a wall.

He's been throwing up since Wednesday night. Mostly bile, but this morning it was a colorful mixture thanks to the addition of blood. (Just come back from lunch, did you? Sorry.)

Went to the vet. The Crazyweiler had to get an IV, and a shot and have some blood work done. They also gave him something to try and coat his stomach and absorb any toxins. (He just threw that up about 15 mintues ago.) We may have to go back for another visit after preschool.

So, in order to alleviate the depressing mood of this post, I leave (or leaven) you with this (compliments of my friend, Terry):

Subject: Sad News

It is with the saddest of hearts that we must pass on the following news. Please join us in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community.

The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71.

Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Buttersworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The gravesite was piled high with flours. Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded.

Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very `smart` cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times he still, as a crusty old man, was considered a roll model for millions.

Doughboy is survived by his wife, Play Dough; two children, John Dough and Jane Dough; plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly dad, Pop Tart. The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.
