New dog, old schtick. This is a thread where I listen to albums while walking the dog and write about both. I did it with my old dog Bosley and the music of Bob Dylan and Frank Sinatra. Boz passed away on February 23, 2020 and I found that writing about his last months was kind of therapeutic.
It's not really a New Year's resolution but I'm trying to make an effort to be more active on this board. I've become more insular during the pandemic because I'm not getting out as much and some friends have moved away. I've also noticed my writing skills have atrophied since I retired. I don't miss the business emails, project proposals and white papers but they helped my ability to string sentences together. I've lost some of that in the past three years and I don't want it fade away completely.
This go around will be with Willie Nelson. He's a national treasure of course but I'm not that familiar with his albums. I've owned a few and listened to a bunch but according to Wikipedia, he's released 95 studio and 13 live albums. I doubt we'll make it through the entire discography but there are more than enough to keep us entertained on our walks.
My current best dog ever is Louis, the latest in a series of all black mutts that we've had since Mrs. Eephus and I have been together. They've gotten progressively smaller over the decades. Charlie was a German shepherd mix and went about 35 lbs. Boz had some dachshund and pug in him and was a short and stout 24 lbs. Lou is some kind of a chihuahua terrier mix and is a little guy at 11-12 lbs. He's extremely shy although much less so than when we got him in August 2020. I doubt my dog stories will be as interesting as the ones about Boz were. Old Boz was always getting lost and falling down but he was friendly to everyone and an old dog wearing sunglasses sparked a lot of conversations. Lou is the furthest thing from that but I love him and I hope you will too.
