Is it weird to base an entire post on a photo? Tom took this photo a couple of days ago and I think it might be one of my favorites ever. It's my sweet little bitty man. He was the fourth addition to our pack. He is so chock full of personality - If you are a dog person you already know how dogs are just as different from one to the next as people are. If you aren't you might think a dog is a dog is a dog. But they aren't My Clarence is a bit gangsta, has a terrible potty mouth, is the president of both cereal and cracker club as well as a member of the popcorn club. During the day he sleeps on his side pressed against a wall (got to get a good photo of that!) and at night gets in and out of bed a half dozen times to do God knows what. He is terrified of thunderstorms but fancies himself quite the tough guy. Once a year he goes to his stylist to get his ear hairs trimmed and his legwarmers cut off.
I know you are not supposed to have a favorite child and I do also know that dogs are not children. But seeing as how I don't have children I hope that those parents of human children out there will forgive my referring to my dogs as children. Okay so again, I know you are not supposed to play favorites...and I will never admit to having a favorite but if you infer something from me bringing up this topic while posting about Clarence, well, I can't help that.
Several years ago I tattooed his paw print onto the top of my foot so that no matter what he would always walk with me everywhere I went. Just a few months ago Tom got a tattoo for Clarence - his portrait, but with a fish tail, wearing a crown, holding a trident (King of the Sea), and carrying a chalice full of gold fish crackers. I kid you not. It is the most awesome thing EVER. I'm not envious, I'm straight up jealous!
So, in case you did not know this before, it is clear now, we are the crazy dog people. I'm not ashamed.
