Special Fast Eddie
Oct 18, 2007 at 2:38 PM My friend Tracy has a dog that's a Pekingese/Chihuahua mix named Edgar. I like to call Edgar "Special Eddie" because he looks... well...
Special.
Tracy doesn't like the nickname "Special Eddie," however, so for the purposes of this post I'm going to call Edgar by his other nickname, "Fast Eddie."
Special Fast Eddie happens to have the same birthday as Beverly, so Tracy had a little party for him at work. In addition to pulling out the ole chocolate fountain for her co-workers...
...she got a cake and candle for Fast Eddie.
When I saw the pictures from Fast Eddie's celebration, I had to laugh because Beverly got something a little different for her birthday.
For Bev's big day I let her pick out a treat from a cute little place in the hood called Monster Mutt.
Of all the things in the store, of all the treats and toys, do you wanna know what she picked?
A bully stick.
My sister had no idea what a bully stick was when I told her, and was horrified to find out. If you don't know what one is and are curious, click here for a brief explanation.
Now regain your composure.
Breathe.
It'll be okay, really.
And back to the story...
I don't let Beverly have bully sticks very often because, in addition to them being plain gross, they REEK. She gets muck all over her face when she eats them and the only way to get rid of it and the smell that accompanies it is to give her a bath. So it's kind of a pain-in-the-arse treat. She really enjoyed it though...
Anyway, that's my story. Before I go, though, a message to Tracy:
Tracy, I know you're sensitive about people making fun of the Ed, so I'd like to take this time to say... You know I love you. And you know I love the Ed. And you know I love the Ed's buggy eyes. And crooked teeth. And big ears.
Ed's like the fox and rose in The Little Prince. The little prince thought the fox and rose were like every other fox and rose until he tamed and cared for them. Once he got to know them, he realized they were unique in all the world. He learned...
Or, "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye."
No matter what anyone says about Fast Eddie (including me!), you know how beautiful he is. To know Eddie is to love Eddie. As people get to know him, they realize this.
Okay, bye for now!
PS - I'm sorry that a post about bully sticks turned into me quoting a much beloved children's book.

Oh gross! Why is she eating that thing in your bed? You have had a bull's penis in your bed?!
Nothing's wrong with a little bull cock in the bed. Ha ha...
She's sitting on a towel!
OMG I HATE BULLY STICKS! I got one for Wrigs a looong time ago and after a while he was chomping on it, really going to town and I kept thinking, 'What's that smell?' Well it was that nasty bully stick. So I kept it outside and I could STILL smell it whenever I went outside. Then it attracted a zillion ants so I finally threw it out and when I was back in the pet store a few weeks later I asked what it was and about fell over when they told me. Does that make Wrigley gay!?!?!
I love Fast Eddie's specialness. He is so cute, especially in his ballet pose. When are you coming back out to CA? It's Laura by the way.
have a baby and be done with it
You let your gorgeous little dog eat that? Wow, you must be really committed to birthdays.
Oh, that's sweet! I love that book!
Karyn,
Do you remember the part in the Little Prince, where he makes friends with the snake? I can't remember exactly how it was worded, but in the end the snake bites the Little Prince. As the Prince is dying, he turns to the snake and says something along along the lines of "Why did you bite me? I rescued you when you were sick, I took care of you and nursed you back to health." To which the snake responded "I am a snake. Once a snake always a snake. Of course I was going to bite you". Whatever the line was, it was my favorite. For many years, I had whatever the exact quote was framed next to my desk. I worked in the financial markets and it true, once a snake, always a snake.
so so gross. I had never heard of them until now, AND i wish i hadnt clicked on the link for the explantion. Damn curiosity!
Nothing wrong with Bev wanting a bit of cock for her birthday. Shes kind of looking a bit special herself, with her tongue hanging to the side like that.
And also, we have all gotten a bit of muck on our faces at some time from eating one
"She's kind of looking a bit special herself, with her tongue hanging to the side like that."
Ha ha! She does, my baby...
As for any muck on my face, I please the fifth! ;)
I think Eddie is a handsome fellow...it must be the Peke in him!
I think Eddie looks a little like Eddie Munster. :) He's a cutie!
hmmm no bully sticks for my boy! ;)
A guy at a specialty pet store recommended Bully Sticks for my 2 Cavaliers a few years ago. He told me what they were, and after I picked my eyes up off the floor I said "I absolutely will not give THAT to my dogs! No way! And besides, I'm trying to cut down on their treats. They need to slim down a little."
Ya know what his response was?
"Oh don't worry ma'am. They're pure protein."
Yuuuuuck....
eww.
once i inform him of the source - my husband is never going to allow rolen to eat bully sticks again...
blech.
Interesting that man cuts the 24" inch bull penis down into oh say a 6" segment. Men are funny.
My dog loves bully sticks. Me not so much. They smell and stain the floor/carpet. I just put a new rug in the apt and I have banned bully sticks. I usually reserve them for when my dog is hyper and being annoying. I give them to her for 20 minutes of quiet. But the trade off is that smell.
Personally, I would have enjoyed going into a store on my birthday to pick out the penis of my choice.
Good for Bev!

Both fast Eddie and Bev look adorable!
What's Elvis' favorite treat?
Ewww--bully sticks! I never knew that. And on the link with the definition, the pug gnawing on the bully stick looks like Noodles!
Wow, learn something new every day!
No more bully stick bashing. There is a lot of crap out there, that's true. If the bully stick is dried vertically, they don't smell. Check out this odor free bully stick site at wholesale prices. I have had great product from them.
