The Forty Year Old Dog
Copyright © 2017
Fudge the dog: You’re not going to believe this!
Me: Believe what?
Fudge: I bumped into a dog who just turned forty!
Me: Forty? You mean forty dog years, right?
2
Fudge: No, man, I mean forty human years. The hound was born in 1977!
Me: No way!
Fudge: Yeah, that’s what I thought until he brought out his veterinary certificate.
Me: What with the vaccinations and all?
3
Fudge: This guy is the real thing. Forty years old. Man, in dog years that’s almost 300 years old!
Me: Did you ask him what his secret is?
Fudge: You bet I did.
Me: What did he say?
4
Fudge: Fresh meat every day.
Me: Hamburger?
Fudge: No, prime steak on the bone. Sirloin on Sunday….
Me: That’s it? You feed a dog meat and it lives to forty?
Fudge: ….Dietician, treadmill, pedicure, speech coach…
Me: Fudge, I think you’re making this whole story up.
Fudge: Don’t you want me to live till forty?
5
Me: Dog years or human years?
Fudge: OK, I’ll settle for Sirloin Sunday.
6
Me: How about Sirloin Leap Year? The next one is in 2020.
Fudge: I may not last that long.
