The Blog From The Bog; Disjointed rants and ravings of a fluently foul mouthed, ex pat living in Co. Leitrim, here giving full rein to his own quirkiness. The character of " Ditch Shitter " having been forged, over years, on 'The Hunting Life' forum proved so strangely popular with enough people there, before I left, that their now constant drip of " Long time, no see; What ye up to? " notes has led me to answer them all, here.

Check Back In A Day Or Three .....
I've 'been away'. Wrangling with something in my head. It's blocked me, completely, from writing anything on here. The loss of my 'Significant Other' of the last fucking decade. Orange Dog.
Well, she's gone. Went so (mercifully) suddenly. Then, shit leapt forward so fast and furious, I never really had time to grieve. And that's why I seized up.
Still am, on that issue. I feel that trying to get all that off my chest might just open the flood gates. Don't feel here, or now, is the time for that.
But, nor am I enjoying bottling up so much other shit that I'm just quietly bursting to express here.
So, tonight, I worked it out that This is my best answer. I'll skip over Orange Dogs death. I'll treat it like I seem to have " Small Horse ". I'll promise to talk about it, later. And then, I may, or not. As it takes me. Okay?
For now then, I want to just talk about other shit. New Dogs. New projects. New anecdotes and shit about what's going on around me.
There. A fucking Huge weight has lifted. I've released myself. Now I'm free to tell ye about Pest. Rag. The painting. The hole. Noel's rifle. My brother .....
Fuck me, what a back log I have! Now ~ Now that I've pierced the abscess, thank fuck! I feel liberated and able to get back to just talking about shit. God, that feels good!
Just give me a day, or three. Check back. I'll be 'at it' again. Like before.
Let's just accept that Orange Dog isn't up for discussion just now. Okay? No condolences, please. I'll talk about that, as and when ~ If ever ~ I'm ready and able.
Llew, man; How's your pup coming on?
"New Dogs. New projects."
ReplyDeleteThat's the only way.
Cheers.
Hey Ditch! Yeah he's good - 6months now & weighing in at 28Kg. Little bastards eating me out of house & home! Just started some training with him as he gets a tad out of hand when someone comes to visit. They either get shagged, scratched or chewed or all 3! Loves people tho'. You still not talking about OD? Have a good one mate!
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear it, mate! Fuck me; Six months already too, eh? Time's flying faster, I swear it.
ReplyDeleteOrange Dog, mate? Her body got tired and worn out. So, she left that one and came back as Pest. Young and refreshed and full of happiness!
And, yes. Typing that brought a flood of tears to my eyes. Then, I saw Pesticle spot this and come straight over to me, wagging her tail furiously as she asked for a head rub! :D
There. Had to take time out there, to rub her head. 'Grip her skin'. Play with her ears. And generally shudder with hard contained roars of laughter at this mad, nutty, adorable Dog! :D
