MY FRIEND JULIE...

My friend Julie lives in Titusville, aka Tittyville, Fla. Julie threw a house-warming party. Directly above is the day after photo. She got up, naked and hung over, stumbled into her newly house-warmed kitchen, had coffee in her bathrobe, and crashed on the couch.

I just love this picture. Julie is passed out, nothing new, showing off her bare ass, also nothing new. But look closer and you'll see her little dog Max (pictured above) in the EXACT same posture. Both of them sound asleep, curled up into the hang-over fetal position, with their asses hanging out. Sadly, Maxwell "Max", has passed away. Max was a Miniature Pinscher and he was her best buddy. Saying he is 'missed' doesn't even begin to cover it. I love this picture because it really sums up their relationship. Max was always right next to her just like in this picture. No matter what she was doing, Max was right there with her. Always together and sharing whatever moment or emotion the other was going thru. In this photo it's like he's saying "Yeah, I've got a hang over too...let's go back to sleep".

He was also the smartest little guy I've ever met. Julie and I always swore he could speak perfect English and just played dumb to mess with us. And we pictured him getting on the phone after she left for work making crank phone calls...calling Petco and saying he caught VD from a french poodle on spring break and now his "Oui Oui" is burning when he pees. Then he howls hysterically and hangs up. Stuff like that.

Abbie is her cat, and Max's stepsister. She's got a couple of new kids on the block too. Duke is a Yorkie...Julie calls him "The Yorkshire Terrorist". Her other boy Billy is a mix but definitely has some MinPin in there too. So now we figure Abbie tells Duke and Billy stories about Max and they look thru photo albums and tell stories and laugh.

For me, I figure that any time Julie passes out, butt-nekkid on the couch...or anywhere else for that matter...Max is right there with his little ass hanging out right next to hers.

WE MISS YOU BUDDY!!!!!
