Jamochafudgedog

Our 14 year old – well – almost 14 year old Labrador Jamocha made another splash on the red carpet of life yesterday. D and Lyza B decided to take the old Fudge with them on a walk over to Lyza’s summer camp drop point. On the way, the old dog started pooping and these days, she keeps walking in a sort of semi-circle as the soft serve DQ Greenscream comes out in small batches. Then, she sorta half-squats and walks while she pees. Hey – think of how a 92 year old human would handle a walking bowel movement and it all seems pretty normal.

So, after picking up the Greenscream on the tarmac, they moved on to the sign in area. Jamocha promptly starts dragging her bottom on the pavement in front of the counselors, the kids, and quite a few parents – you gotta laugh at the but scoot….just shameless.

Then a lady pulls up, gets out of her car and looks over saying something like “what a cute lab!” – at which point Jamocha plows into her legs and essentially scratches herself all over this lady’s dress pants. Jamocha didn’t look so cute after that.

So, D and Lyza took old Fudge around the park before Lyza officially signed in. When they got back, they all walked into the building and were talking to the lead camp coordinator – not seeing the bags of crackers on the floor until they heard Jamocha mowing ‘em down.

She may be almost 14, she can’t hear real well, and she snaps the heads off of young dogs, but, we love her.
