Daddy Long Dog

It is strange how certain memories will pop into my head for no apparent rhyme/reason. It happened this morning and is from the summer of 2018. It is stunning how clear these memories are.

Anyway the memory from this morning was when we were on our way to Montana with our trailer. We were somewhere in Wyoming (between Douglas and Buffalo) and had the comedy channel on the Satellite radio playing. Anyway the comedian (I think it was Brian Regan, but I could be wrong) that was on was doing this bit about dog breeds and how goofy some breeds look.

I don’t remember all the details of the skit, but what I do remember is how funny we both thought the skit was. He was talking about how he wanted a dog with long legs but the body of a corgi a daddy long dog. That just really tickled Jennifer’s funny bone. She was laughing so hard she had tears in her eyes and was short of breath. I can hear and see that moment in my head as clear as hell. Since that time we had several good laughs about that bit and if either of us said “Daddy Long Dog” we would just start laughing.

Anyway it is a pleasant memory because I hear her laugh in my head, but it sure tugs at the heart strings and starts the old eyes watering but it is a silly moment that I will cherish as long as I am breathing.

I better get moving have to get Dad ready for Rotary meeting.
