The dog world suffered a great loss this past week.  Our good friend Butchie passed away.  He was a good dog and I will miss him. 

This gets me to thinking.  Butchie was only 11.  I am 3.  The bosses are, well, older than that.  This just is not right.  I have so many things I want to do!  Places I want to go!  Why do the bosses get to be here so much longer than me?  I'm beginning to think I won't be here for when I take over the world.  How sad.

Little Bit says, "Butchie is in a better place.  The sun always shines there and he isn't feeling any pain."  I say, "Well, that's good, but I like it HERE!"  So my research begins.

After many grueling moments of research, (well, okay, Smelly Belly looked it up for me) I have discovered that there are no sure-fire methods to make the Whigle live forever.  This is a disappointment.

The fountain of youth was a disaster.

All those creams and lotions may make me LOOK young but I want to BE young.  No good.

Smelly Belly read about something in a new book.  It's called a Horcrux and it's supposed to help you live forever.  But it just seems wrong to me.  I'll pass on this one.

Little Bit says, "People can achieve a sense of immortality through their offspring or by the effects of their achievements during their lifetimes."

I say, "I don't want to SENSE immortality.  Who cares what it SMELLS like?  I want to HAVE it."  But, since that doesn't seem to be happening, I guess I'll settle for what I can get.  As I see it, I only have one option.  No offspring for this Whigle.  The Lexington Humane Society took care of that.  And cloning has not been successful so far.  Oh, Doodlebug, come back to Pappa!  So achievements it is.  As far as I can tell, Congress does not ensure immortality.  But President or World Dominator might, so I'll stick with my original plan for that.  But I want to be SURE to be remembered, so I figure I need a backup plan too.  Leave it to the good folks at Dogster to email me one.

 I'm going to be on the Milk Bone box!  Dogs everywhere will see me!  Dogs everywhere will drool at the sight of me!  All dogs will wish they were me.  Ha! Ha!  So I'm working on my glamour shots.  This should be easy.  Wish me luck!
