missing our Elvis

I was just reading a post about a dog, and I am reminded of an Elvis story Ill carry with me till I'm too senile to remember it anymore. Elvis was an inside dog, and was happy to be with us. Point blank. We were his world. Until one fine spring day when a female dog at the neighbors house went into heat. Tis the nature of all male species to chase tail I suppose, and our Elvis was no exception. He went to her and we spent hours looking before we found him. Once we found him he left her for us and we took him home, thinking we could walk him on a leash until she was out of season and all would be fine, and all was fine in to confines of our house, until... the air conditioner would kick in. The central unit air conditioner would come on and the poor horny little guy would go nuts wanting outside. It was an exceptionally warm spring and the air conditioner was running a lot and we weren't sleeping, we weren't getting much r and r at all. The A/C would cut on and he would wine and pace the floor and look at us with those pleading eyes begging to go outside. Well it took, probably less than a day for me to realize something must be done.. At the time I was a single mother of 4 children living on a 9.00 an hour walmart tire and lube job, and I did not get any government assistance at all. Hubby gave me 100.00 a week to supplement what I made, so you can imagine my budget was minimal at most. So.. We went down to the local gas station and bout about 5 or 6 or those car air freshener Christmas trees and attached them to his collar in hopes that the STRONG smell of those trees, I forget what flavor we got.. But we hoped they would be more smelly than that bitch dogs Virginia.. and.. It worked.. Stanked up the whole house, and we couldn't stand to get close to him without hiding our nose in our shirts.. 5 or 6 trees is a powerful smell.. But it worked.. He didn't cry to go to that girl anymore.. Lawd I miss that boy.. He was a good one..

Elvis is the old guy in this pic. He hing in there with us for 15 years.. I miss you boy...
