[Dailydrool] Old Drooler

[saba2r at aol.com]

Late as usual, but after reading several of the Old Drooler posts, I 
had to chime in.
Roscoe P Hunter and I read the Drool for over ten years.  He was 
already coming out of his puppy days when I joined ( beyond age three). 
  Otherwise he would be in the OEBE category of WORST PUPPIES EVER.  I 
think he got his big boy brains around age five.  He was nearly as bad 
as Essie's Homer.  So, I became mostly a lurker but let me put it this 
way:  I wouldn't have survived without the Drool.  Or HE wouldn't have 
survived maybe.

My heart breaks when one of the old timers leaves for the Bridge.  I 
remember all of the ones mentioned, including King Nick, from whence 
nickzillion terminology arose.  Who could ever forget Mickey 
Droolmeister and Fang?  Some of the funniest stuff I've ever read in my 
life.  Then sweet Clos du Bois joined - a great beauty who took a fancy 
to my ole gent. There are too many to mention here, but my heart is 
filled forever with all of them and their people.

At this time, I don't think our residence would do justice to a 
houndie, but some day soon hopefully.  I know Wen will remind me to 
consider a senior and we certainly will.  My boy was the sweetest 
living creature in his last years.  I have no wish to NOT remember him, 
even though it's painful.  We still have mutt sister, Angel, and we 
will continue reading Drools as long as they exist.  She even got to 
join in, serving as a diva cheerleader during the turd hockey games, 
famously jealous of Claudia's gorgeous bloodhound
