Back in 2007 as a kind of a joke, a friend of mine asked if I could make a song about his puppy. A rickety piano, a theremin and some shuffling about-sounds made a pretty funny tune back then.
A few months ago he called in again telling his dog was suffering from cancer. Not willing to go through months of chemo trying to make her life a tiny but longer, (her suffering would also be prolonged),  he decided to threat her with painkillers and when the moment was there to put her to sleep. How cruel that may sound, I think that was the best thing he could do for his dog. Yesterday he called in telling that it was all over.
We couldn’t know that in 3 years time this song would fit perfectly with an occasion like this. This may sound corny, but it’s true: laughter and tears are very close together.
Bonita, you were a great dog, and I still smile when I think about the stupid things you did.
