Henry Hog & Dissatisfied Dave

San Diego: Henry Hog gets to follow his master out to the fishing pier in the mornings . . . better than where he was a year ago even if he does kinda get tangled, tied under the benches. His owner tells me: "Whyyyy he's a 25 pound over weight beagle - that's what he is!" when I ask his breed.


Dave goes on to tell me he rescued Henry Hog from the dog pound a year ago when they were giving 5yr olds and older, away for free one week. He said he was adopted for a few days, then returned - but originally owned by a bed bound person who only fed him human food, "Tacos and burgers", he added.

Dave said he used to raise beagles when he was 13, so he knows the breed well and has promised Henry he'll never give him up. He says Henry Hog is a crazy one though, he would starve rather than eat dog food. Henry Hog hummed, whined and wiggled a lot while we talked.



Dave then told me how bad the economy is, how corrupt politicians are, how his best friend has to schedule everyday of the week (and can't fish on Thursdays) and how everyone is wrong about the baby grey whale that's been living in our bay this week.



Dave knows the whale lost his mother and is obviously very sick even though the experts say it's perfectly normal a young grey (old enough to be on its own) would explore our bay on its migration north . . . sigh . . .
