I HAVE LOST MY EAR-ECTION

Woof Everyone

This isn't funny. If it's funny to you then you aren't very nice. I have lost my earection. It happened in the desert. One day I had two ears that pointed like destiny towards the sky and then I had one that pointed to the ground like a bloodhounds nose. It was that quick. No adjustment time, no gradual softening of the ear muscles. Nope. It just went FLOP!

Dad thought I had learnt some new trick to look cute while I was begging for food. I admit it looks cute but it's almost the only look I have now. The 'one up one down look'. I can get both down but not both up. 

I am a little depressed by it. This is not the time to start listening to sad music or to be picking up a drink. Things could snowball if I let them. You've heard of the Black Dog. Well it happens to blond haired dingoes as well.

I am a little self conscious that other dogs will laugh at me... Hey Spot .. theres that one-eared dingo.

Or worse ... Look at that floppy eared dingo!

I definitely shouldn't start to look back at the old days.

When you have two erect ears who don't think .. 'Uh .. gee I am lucky .. both my ears are as firm as a gondoliers oar' ... No ... you just take it for granted.

Then you wake up one morning and it's gone. BANG. What's that song Dad used to listen to in the sixties:

Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you've got til it's gone

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Well thats how I feel about my right ear. I didn't even know I had an earection until I didn't.

Anyway. It's time like these you have to look at what you have rather than what you've lost. I mean I still have my health, and my Dad, the Kennel that Moves and an erect left ear.

Thanks for not laughing. I mean, if I can't share these sorts of things with you guys then who can I share it with. 

woof
