She was my best friend, constant companion and protector.
I had to put my Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Jake II, down on December 19, 2001. He was only 5 but the cancer got him. It was a sad day. I dug a grave, built a casket and lined it with a camo blanket and buried him with a hand made cork mallard decoy and some other duck hunting items. That dog loved to hunt.
Reading these posts got me to remembering the lyrics to a Commander Cody and The Lost Planet Airmen song, Down to Seeds and Stems:
Verse 1
I'm sittin alone, Saturday night, watching the Late Late Show.
A bottle of wine, some cigarettes, I got no place to go.
Well, I saw your other man today; he was wearing my brand new shoes,
And I'm down to seeds and stems again, too.
Verse 2
Well, I met my old friend Bob today from up in Bowling Green;
He had the prettiest little gal that I'd ever seen.
But I couldn't hide my tears at all, cause she looked just like you,
And I'm down to seeds and stems again, too.
Chorus
Now everybody tells me there's other ways to get high.
They don't seem to understand I'm too far gone to try.
Now these lonely memories, they're all I can't lose,
And I'm down to seeds and stems again, too.
Verse 3
Well my dog died just yesterday and left me all alone.
The finance company dropped by today and repossessed my home.
That's just a drop in the bucket compared to losing you,
And I'm down to seeds and stems again, too.
Got the Down to Seeds and Stems again Blues.
She was my best friend, constant companion and protector.
