A well-maintained diesel truck can last forever…..

…..regular oil-changes & fluid checks are a must…..

…..good luck and good weather (i.e. no salted-roads like up north) really help contribute to a truck’s longevity…..

…..(what doesn’t last a lifetime are the stupid plastic parts and the leather upholstery)…..

…..(here comes a story)…..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Molly had a chronic infection and needed to be seen by Dr. Russell…..

When the morning of the scheduled visit came…..Molly had a leash attached to her collar…..and we proceeded out the front door…..

…..(BTW—the Irish Wolfhounds NEVER go out the front door…they are backdoor hounds)…..

…..(that was the first point added onto “Molly’s Column of Paranoia”)…..(said with a diminishing repeated echo for effect)…..

…..then she was expected to walk (calmly) on a leash to the truck and just pop right in…..easy-peasy…..

…..(chalk up #2 on that “Paranoia Column”—–Molly isn’t leash-trained…..she’s a farm dog)…..

Now this one hundred and thirty+ pound hound was expected to jump into the back seat of the truck’s cab which was looming way above her head…..

…..(that was a BIG #3)…..

Molly spread all four paws on whatever part of the truck’s chassis where she could get traction…..

…..and she resisted…..

…..(Boy o’ Boy!…..Did She Resist)…..

But unthwarted…..my younger daughter got on the far side of the truck…..while I got behind Molly…..and we heaved and we ho’d…..and we got the bitch in…..

…..Molly was not happy…..

…..(AND Molly was not done “resisting”)…..

In the wee hours of the morning we drove off into the newly rising/pristine sun…..with a beautiful/painted/eastern sky…..the hailing of a brand new day…..

…..along with the compelling aroma of a newly produced (megalithic) pile of dog crap…..

…..caulked & spackled all along/through/over & under the back seat…..

…..(this was going to be a long drive)…..(sigh)…..

The pastel sunrise was truly beautiful…..(seen through tearing/wincing eyes)…..

…..I always try to re-frame bad things when they happen…..

…..but this was so early in the morning…..my olfactory senses were just not prepared for the looming forty-five minute drive to the vets…..

My daughter’s a tolerant-trooper…..and I’m just old & calloused & overtly-focused…..

…..and Molly…..(?)…..what can I say…..(?)…..

…..Molly’s digestion is working just fine…..

………….(to be continued)………….
