SO..

SHORTLY AFTER I "MOVED"
TO BAKERSFIELD..

I ADOPTED A "DOG" FROM THE SPCA..

& "NAMED"-HER "MIKKI"..

SHE WAS THIS BLACK..LONG-HAIRED..MUTT..

"WHO"..

FOR THE NEXT-"16"-YEARS..

WAS MY "COMPANION"..

SHE LIVED A "LONG"-LIFE..

BUT "THEN"..SHE STARTED GETTING
"GREY" AROUND THE MOUTH..

& SHE GOT ARTHRITIS..

& HER "EYES"

WHICH HAD "ONCE" BEEN BRIGHT & CLEAR..

BEGAN TO GET CLOUDY..

& "THEN"..

ONE MORNING..

SHE DIDN'T WAKE-UP..

& "THAT" WAS SAD..

BECAUSE I "LOVED" MY "MIKKI-DOG"..

WE BURIED HER IN OUR SIDE-YARD..

(& "THAT" WAS LIKE-2 YEARS AGO)..

WELL..THIS "PAST" FATHER'S DAY..

MY SON..JD..

WAS "EXCITED" TO "GIVE"-ME..

WHAT "HE"-THOUGHT..

WAS THE "BEST" FATHER'S DAY GIFT "EVER"..

A "PAINTING"..

OF MY DEAD-DOG "MIKKI"..

"HIS" GIRLFRIEND..

IS A "PAINTER"..

SO..

SHE "PAINTED"..

THIS "BEAUTIFUL"

"PORTRAIT"..

OF MY DEAD-DOG "MIKKI"..

IT'S "REALLY" WELL-DONE..

IT "LOOKS"

"JUST"-LIKE..

MY DEAD DOG "MIKKI"..

HER EYES ARE "BRIGHT"..

(LIKE I "REMEMBER" THEM)..

& SHE'S "SMILING"..

"BUT"..

IT'S A "PORTRAIT"..

OF MY DEAD-DOG "MIKKI"..

SO IT'S "DEPRESSING"..

NOW OF-"COURSE" MY WIFE..

THINKS I SHOULD HANG-IT
IN MY MAN-CAVE..

"HELLLL-OHHHH"..

"CURRENTLY" HANGING ON THE WALLS OF MY MAN CAVE ARE..

PENNANTS & FLAGS..
PICTURES..
& "ALL" THE MEDALS & TROPHIES
I WON AS AN OUTSTANDING "JUNIOR HIGH" ATHLETE..

YOU KNOW.."FUN"-STUFF..

A PORTRAIT..
OF MY DEAD-DOG "MIKKI"

"DOESN'T" REALLY-FIT..

& SINCE JD HAS BEEN AWAY AT COLLEGE..

I HAVEN'T HAD TO "HANG"
THE PORTRAIT

(OF MY DEAD-DOG "MIKKI")..

"YET"..

"BUT"..

IN ABOUT A "MONTH"..

HE'S "GRADUATING" FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA..

& WILL BE COMING "HOME"
FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS..

SO I "HAVE" ABOUT A MONTH

TO FIGURE-OUT..

"WHERE" TO-HANG THIS "PORTRAIT"

OF MY DEAD-DOG "MIKKI"..
