Thoughts On Losing A Good Dog

I gave away my dog today and my girlfriend isn't staying over tonight so I'm blogging to pass the time...again. I hope I do this better this time around.
I'm unemployed which is good because I'm currently researching starting a business and selling my house which is not easy since the market in western WA has...cooled off considerably (don't be too graphic don't be too graphic don't be too graphic). My main job today had to do with my garden. I chopped the weeds and planted two cucumber plants, two pepper plants and three tomatoes. I didn't do it earlier because my dog would have dug it all up. After planting the garden I turned the sprinkler on it and this brought out a big (I mean big) rat. MazeDog must have kept it away but today the rat had free reign and played...until I shot it with my sling shot. Not a kill but a definate hit and I haven't seen the thing since.
Maze Dog was a good dog and I miss the eleven months we shared. I cried like a baby after Mark drove off with her in the car. I know it was silly, but a man can really learn to love a dog.
