Recent newspaper cover story of my dog Whaler...
Dog Brings Christmas Cheer
My golden retriever Whaler died this past week... and I had to bury him not long ago... He died the way I would have wanted to go-- chasing women and getting hit by a truck in process... Presumably, the FedEx man mowed him down coming down our driveway as the dog likes to dart down the driveway and outrun vehicles. He succombed to internal injuries as the autospy revealed. I found him a few hours after he was last seen on the side of the road in front of our neighbor's house.
Last summer, his father Buddy was hit by a truck and died, and my cat Webster is still missing in action. God has it in for the pets in my household. We only have one dog left -- which is his mother. I had just walked Whaler early that same morning only hours beforehand.
I know Whaler sounds like a stupid name for a dog, but we named him after the Boston Whaler boat because his father Buddy liked the ocean and boating so much. The dogs come from good stock. As an aside, Whaler's brother Scout has celebrity and has been in movies such as The Water is Wide from Hallmark Entertainment most recently and television commercials aired during nightly news (under the tutelage of a film studio trainer from Wilmington, NC which is the East Hollywood)... Scout would be a shoe-in to be in the next "Air Bud" if Disney would take a break from making smut films-- and make a third movie for the worn-out "Air Bud" franchise.
I can handle the bereavement over the loss of a pet-- but he will be missed, but the incident so upset my mother... her blood pressure went off the charts.
