Well, ol' Steamboat Jones got into a jam the other day. Seems he went down to the pet shop and purchased him a Cocker Spaniel pup. He had never owned a dog before and Cal Tackhead , the owner, told him that there really wasn't much to it. He said that the only thing Steamboat needed to do was go down to the Estellene Seed and Feed Company and buy him some dog food.
He told him the only thing he really needed to remember was what ever he fed the pup first was what he needed to give him for at least the next three months . Said it was better on his digestive system.
Well, ol' Steamboat came by the house and showed me the curly reddish-brown Cocker , and after I admired the cutie , he went on home.
A couple of weeks later I ran into Steamboat and ask him how he and the dog was doin'.Steamboat shook his head and murmered a few words that would probably hairlip a preacher and I ask him what happened.
He said he had to take on a secound job because of that Cocker Spaniel he bought. I must have looked at him a little funny because he started explaining. It seems after he left me that night he bought the dog, he got home and took the little fellow inside and like he always did took everything out of his pockets and laid them on his coffee table including his billfold. Then he figured the pup was hungry and went into the kitchen and opened the dog food bag and got a bowl and even warmed up a little water to pour over it so it would be easier for the pup to chew. When he took the bowl back into the living room he yelled a mighty " Oh My God " and ran over to where the pup sat by his billfold and two ripped to shreds twenty dollar bills. he grabbed the pup and set the bowl and him down across the room and while the pup was gobbling up the dog food he raked up the leavings of his billfold.
Steamboat is not the smartest person in he world and he got confused about what Cal had told him about the pup needing to eat exactly the same as he had eaten for his first meal. He said he would sure be glad when that three months was up. It was costing hin a bowl of dog food and forty dollars every day. LOL
