So God made a dog

[jmowreader]

6. You ever meet a Pekingese?

My grandmother had one. Definitely a Republican dog. Absolutely refused to eat anything but chicken breasts with rice-a-roni on the side, snapped at everyone INCLUDING my grandmother, thought it was better than everyone and everything else.

Grandma sent the dog to live on a farm. This wasn't the old "he went to live on a farm" thing you tell the kids when you had the dog put to sleep, my aunt and uncle and seven children owned a twenty-acre farm on which they grew everything they ate that could be grown on 20 acres in Eastern Washington. Three months after the dog went there, my aunt accidentally ran the fucking thing over with the car, and to her dying day she was convinced grandma thought she ran it over on purpose. (My mom would have.)
