egbert + ripi: a pet’s eye view

perspective from a pigeon and a dog

dead things

i heard about a dead whale while my people were watching television.

apparently, no one wants to take it away and it is near some houses and very stinky. wish i knew where it was and how to get there.

see i love stuff like this.

a few years ago, my people took me for a ride to a beach below half moon bay. i still remember it like it was last week. they were looking for rocks for a fountain and i was just looking for interesting stuff. i was a few yards away and went to check out a very intriguing smell behind some big rocks.

it was awesome. i think this seal had been dead at least 10 days. it smelled great and looked like fun. so, i rubbed my back on it first. then, i just kind of laid on it ,on my back, as best i could and rolled around. and then i rolled around some more.

and then my people found me. i don’t think they appreciated dead things the way i do.

they freaked out and took me to the water and tried to rinse me and rub sand on my coat. but i was too good at this and they couldn’t get that smell off me.

so they made me leave in a big hurry, with towels all over the back seat. but i got to ride home - almost an hour and a half - fast with all of the windows open.

oh yeah.
