A post from last year on Fathers Day from over at wellthatsjustducky. I also reposted our first Fathers Day post over there today. It’s one of the more popular ones.
Me: You look pensive.
Ducky: …
Me: It means…
Ducky: I know what it means. Pensive doggies don’t always respond quickly.
Me: Because they’re being pensive?
Ducky: …
Me: …
Ducky: Yes.
Me: What are you thinking about?
Ducky: Phenobarbital.
Me: …
Ducky: It’s the drug that…
Me: I know what it is. It’s the drug you take. It keeps you from having seizures.
Ducky: I thought so. But I heard that it is also how they put sick doggies down.
Me: Yeah. It’s that too.
Ducky: So how does it know to stop the seizures but not kill me?
Me: Doctor Robinson knows how much you need to keep you healthy. And I only give you that much.
Ducky: …
Me: …
Ducky: I’m glad the two of you are doing that.
Me: Our pleasure.
Ducky: …
Me: …
Ducky: Funny how something that can kill you can make actually make you healthier if you know how to deal with it.
Me: …
Ducky: And if you have folks looking out for you.
Me: …
Ducky: You’ve seemed pensive lately, Daddy.
Me: …
Ducky: …
Me: Yeah. There’s a lot going on.
Ducky: Good stuff or bad stuff?
Me: …
Ducky: …
Me: Depends on how I deal with it, Duck.
Ducky: Good thing you have folks looking out for you too, huh?
Me: Yes it is, Duck. Yes it is.
Ducky: Happy Daddies Day, Daddy. Thank for looking out for me.
Me: Thanks for looking out for me, Ducky. Love you.
Ducky: Love you too, Daddy.
