Today would have been a really great day had it not begun with a trip to the Humane Society to put down our beloved pet of over 9 years. She was a 12 year old mutt, looking as though she was a strange mix of Cocker Spaniel and Dachshund. Somehow, she managed to become partially paralized last night, unable to walk.
The wife called a friend for some advice. Her friend had a pet that went through the same thing. After spending quite a bit of money at the vet, the friend was eventually informed that they could not do anything for the animal and suggested putting her down.
We had also seen something similar with a friend's dog that had become paralyzed. Having witnessed this, we could not allow our dog to live in such a condition.
After taking our dog to be put down, I fetched tins with their new paint. Returning to my brother's house, where my bike was stored, I quickly proceeded to assemble the bike.
A short time later, the bike was complete. I took a brief moment to give it a quick bath. Once dried, I hopped on and rode it to the place of my employer, where I would display it in all its glory to my co-workers.
I rode the bike home. It was a brisk 40 degrees or so. My face was freezing as I arrived home. It was worth it just to have it nearby while I wait out this storm that will be keeping southern California company for the next week or so.
I'll post some pictures soon.
