Changes in Latitude Changes in Attitude

Arizona,  Montecito, Ojai, Solvang, Carpinteria, Camino Cielo, I have lived a lot of places in my 11 dog years (77 in your human years), and I must say this may be the best one yet.

PW (Pre Wreck) it was just Bones and I doing our bachelor thing in Ojai. we had a routine and I dug it, but life holds many surprises and after the wreck we embarked on a long journey of different houses and different people.

I have documented most of this long strange trip in these chronicles so most of my fans know about my decease my wreck and  my time in solvang, its been a while since I posted so this a short catch up.

First off I am alive and well, after our rapid departure from the Carp house one of Bones old friends invited him to rent a room and an Rv on top of this incredible hill. I was stoked from the first night, it is dog heaven up here smells and creatures and all the stuff a pooch like me needs to feel like the primal soul I am.

Bones buddy is super cool he gets me and he seems to remember more of Bones stories than Bones himself does. He is an incredible BBQ expert and I must admit although I am on my same strict diet I get the occasional piece of steak and when I go out at night I do the midnight lick of the BBQ utensils.

Oh yea and going out at night now means I cruise the hills for a while like a wild dog marking his terrain. I love it.  The first dog I met up here is named Big Red because yes he is huge and he is Red.

See

 Bones has a new girlfriend, he calls her Buttercup and he is in love. She is a positive force in his life and therefore my life as well. We are a package deal and as such can be very overwhelming. Buttercup handles us well, she has made the move up here much easier, she put in a lot of work and I hope she knows how much we appreciate it.

I intend to keep you guys posted as our new world unfolds.

My message today is to never assume that the new people in your life are the same as the others, everyone is different and unique and deserves appreciation for their individual thoughts and believes.

Buttercup is trying to get Bones to think positive and see the best in every situation. Mind you these are not new concepts to him but after a series of shall we say misadventures he is a bit skeptical of people, but he is trying.

Hugs from the new hill.   Tell the ones you love that you love them and don't be afraid to let your love light shine.

As my time gets shorter my love gets stronger.

 Thanks to Buttercup and "Boss Hog"our new landlord.

Those who also serve

I hate war and I think it is a  product of greedy humans trying to control the life blood of mother earth. 

That being said I honor those who fight and die in these horrible conflicts. 

It's not just humans that serve in wars it is also my canine brothers and sisters.

Dogs have been involved in war as long as there have been wars. 

 On every continent in every country there have been 4 legged warriors who served in many capacities from  sentries to scouts  to bomb sniffers.

 WE have jumped out of airplanes worn gas mask and dodged bullets. 

In Vietnam alone there were over 4500 dogs that served. 

In Irag and Afghanistan we sniff out bombs search for survivors and all the while we are as loyal as any soldier marine or sailor to the cause. 

Dogs who have seen combat have a very hard time ever making it back to civilian life. 

In Vietnam only about 200 of the thousands that served made it back. 

I hate war and I hate that so many dogs and of course humans have died in the trenches rice patties desserts  and beaches over the centuries.

I give my humble thanks to the ones that did.

Let's honor the ones that serve while still hating the notion of war. 

Have a safe Memorial day.

Hug the ones you love and tell them they matter.

  Let's have a chat shall we? You two leggers are real idiots. You fight over oil and mineral rights all in the name of some holy glory.
  The truth is you are all egotistical greedy corrupt bastards.
  
  There I said it. Witness the gas prices on holidays it all of a sudden shoots up 20 cents a gallon for absolutely no reason other than a bunch of really rich aholes want to be even richer.

  The sad part is all the furless sheep fall in line and take It in the black hole.

  Just once if everyone stayed home on one of those big 3 day weekends BBQed in their own zone and did not get gouged believe me things might change.

  If the earth destroyer asteroid hits the planet and kills everyone, will it be an act of God or climate change or is it just a result of of the most powerful people on earth destroying the planet so they can drive a lexis?

  

  It is pretty simple, from my point of view the reason there are groups trying to heal the ocean and save the deserts and endangered
  species is because you wounded the ocean killed the endangered species and destroyed the desert.

  Solar power, Just sayin

  Yea I am pissed want to meet me under the bridge?

  On a lighter note please enjoy a result of Bones new meditation.

Blood for blood

Today as I was running on the beach with Roxy I was contemplating family.
Bones and I as you know are bastards. I don't mean that in the colloquial sense as much as I mean it in the literal.

For some reason, be it fate or just the random chaos of the maelstrom of the universe our paths crossed. Any of my fans know these
last few months have been a gift for both of us. I was supposed to die or go insane and yet here I still am by his side and he by mine.

Bones never knew his real folks, his biological pack. Neither did I. Anyway he has always yearned for some blood connection to something. We both know just because you are brother or sister or siblings does not mean you will necessary  get along.

But the chances are good you will get along. Of course siblings fight and siblings argue but to look into someones eyes and know that the history of that tribe runs through you is powerful. When Bones had his cubs he at last knew what this blood line meant. Real family, flesh of flesh bone of bone, there is nothing like it  and to have a brother or sister seemed to Bones to be proof of the brotherhood of man.

Now bones has a grandchild. His name is Ollie and when bones looks into Ollie's eyes he feels the connection he knows the blood of his ancestors run through this little mans veins. 

When bones looks in his sons eyes he sees himself in both of them. This is the light within caring about someone more than you care about yourself.
We have come a long way this human and I we are now family. It is a bonus that Jesse happened to have his life collide with Roxy.

Fate coincidence manifest dynasty, there are no accidents. Were we here before, have we all known each other for ever? Is there reincarnation?


This bones knows.

I am a mystic I am a shaman I am a magic man I have made it here for a reason.

Bones  boys' amaze him  they are his  blood.
I have searched for that feeling all my life and through my boys I see it is real.

I now look at my grandchild and see my blood in him, it is real.

I wish I knew my real people but I carry there blood with me they were magic mystic poet spirit guides and their blood flows on.

Sometimes I let Bones riff on. To all that let me add I know that Bones has been accused of being a wolf. People thought that was an insult of some sort.
I think Bones and I are descended from the same wolf pack.

Love your family blood for blood bone on bone.

Don't let the sun go down on me

Damn I thought I had kicked some fungus ass. Blood coming out my nose again

I tried to hide it from Bones. I have been licking up all the evidence so no one knew.

I do not want to go back to square one and get probed and poked. Turns out that is actually not a recourse at this stage anyway. 

I love where I am I like being loved and I have a great bunch of energy around me.

Just know if these are the end days I love you all so much and appreciate everything everyone has done to get me this far.

If my Brain starts to go remember me for who I was. Fight the good fight  love each other for who you are not what you think the other person should be.

Get over the past, life is fleeting take my word for it. I packed in a lot in the last 2 and a half years.

Megan Jesse Susan Joni and Deb I am glad you were all lucky enough to know me .

Thats right you heard me sure I am lucky to know you guys, but as the sticker on Bones car says: 

Who saved who?

 I saved Bones thats who. The bitter sweet and short time we have had together so far has made an incredible impact on a lot of people.

You humans have found out what you are made from because of me.

I know what I am made of.

 I fought this crap for a long time before you guys came along.

Is there a reason for life? Yes, the reason is to help each other through. 

Roxy I love you.

Kalani,  keala,  Lillie:  I know you are amazed by me and rightfully so. I am amazing.

Bones what can I say? When you lost Alli and Roxy sucked in her last breath I know you were beat down. No more dogs you said no more pain.

Hah you did not count on Megan did you?

 No choice my amigo  for some reason we are joined you and I. Kindred spirits 

I hope you take the love I have shared and use it wisely.

David and Capricabell you shorties are the best, so much fun playing with you guys. I hope all your dreams come true and all your prayers get answered.

All this said I may be premature in my post and if you pray please pray this is not the end of the Cash Fargo Bellinger chronicles.  

Roxy I want you nearby when and if the time comes my last breath is yours.

From the mountains to the sea to the Valley. Love from

Get Shortie

Its been a while Hows it going out there in the real world? 

Me I am living on borrowed time. Tell you what, I have found out one big thing.

I love kids and they love me.

I think I have mentioned Capricabell and David, they are Joni's nephew and niece. 

Henceforth all puppy humans will be referred to as shorties.

So the shorties stop by usually once a day. sometimes they stop by just to see me. 

I hear them calling from the front yard " is Cash home"? Can Cash come out to play?

The beauty of shorties is they have not learned to lie. The grownups have very convoluted relationships based on things you can and can not say to certain members of the tribe.

Shorties have something to share with me, unconditional love.

Just like the love I share with my tribe of humans pure and simple.

I wish all of you people could retain that as you grow older.

This week was very special for Bones. He had a visit from down-under. OK I don't really know what that means but a very old and dear friend of his was coming to see him after 15 years. That mind you is a lifetime to my kind.

The cool thing was I got to hang with Bones and his pal Pecker. Yea I know don't ask I think it may be a nickname. Pecker spent a night and Joni fed him and Bones another amazing meal.

Mike ( his real name) is another respected elder of this tribe.

He was cool this Pecker person, we went to see Ollie Bones kids shortie, Marsha was there and Pecker was glad to see her. It turns out Marsha and Pecker and Bones lived together a long tome ago like 2 life times. 

Ollie is such a shortie he cant make the noises that the big people make yet. Talking is the noise I speak of. Ollie does make his own sounds though and everything he does amazes Bones.

We went to the park and Ollie crawled about 20 feet just to touch me and look in my eyes. I dig him he digs me.

Also this week Bones played the stuff he calls music with his band. 

He had a drummer drive all the way from somewhere called Idaho to play with him. 

His name is Dayle.

 Dayle spent a couple of nights at our house. 

The really neat thing was Joni cooked a huge meal and Meg and Susan and Jesse were all here too.

 Of course  Roxy was also part of the party. Dayle got to meet the people ranking very high in this tribe. 

He is now a respected elder of this tribe.

We have a new routine Jesse is teaching shorties now so 3 days a week Roxy and I hang out together.

I am having kind of a rough week. I am snarfing and coughing so it is time for another dose of the stuff that seems to be helping kill the fungus in my head.

Please try to be more like the shorties.

Love and hugs from the seaside to the valley to the mountains.

Friendis Deny-us

You can still be loyal and not have to agree.

Thats the beauty of being a human you can reason things out.

Even if you disagree and you truly love each other It doesn't need to be that big of a problem 

It doesn't need to be that big of a problem because a true friend remains loyal even through

conflicting  view points. 

Dogs of my forefathers get your acts together. 

Friends don't de-friend friends;

Any way back at the park: There I am with Roxy and Megan and bones and here comes the new park maintenance guy.

 How do I know this? I know this because I am the alpha at this park. I have been here consistent for the 2 Years Bones has had me. 

So this guy is new I can smell it on him.

 I saunter over intending to give him a sniff and yes maybe mad dog him a little. 

The guy was small for a human, bigger than me but small, so I get close and he freaks which freaks me so I nip him. It was not even hard enough to tear his pants. but he is mad.

 He yells vicious dog vicious dog, now Bones freaks jumps up and ask to see the guys bite.

 Bones observes that not only are his jeans intact but also his skin is not broken.

 Broken skin weird phrase:

Any way the guy is gonna call the cops on me.

 Bones is in the guys face when it dawns on him if the cops come they may taser me Bones or both of us.

 If they taser me it may either kill the fungus or put it on a rampage, if they taser bones it will probably hurt like heck.

 Neither option is pleasant. The guy says "I am the new gardner I work for the association I have the power you can never return."

So I de-friended him. 

Wow that does sound silly and juvenile like high school.

Have I mentioned I make friends easily?

Work it out

 Talk it through 

compromise. 

I have news for you guys the number of friends you get in this life is not infinite.

How many times must I tell you?

 Cherish your friends.

Hugs from the mountains to the sea.
