ok--not such an upbeat first blog...but hey, it's not everyday when you get to announce an icon for a whole generation has departed...only mine did it with so much more grandeur (there was no "throne" involved) and grace (he was quiet about it; took it like the gentleman that he was) than any previous hound-dog kings did before him....the only real tragedy is that his passing happened before his favorite holiday/ he didn't get one last chance to prance around in his flair-pants and sequene cape and amuse the local children like he did in years past....it's ok, i told him to look up aaron presley and ask to borrow THAT cape to wear on halloween (he'd look better in it anyways!). now he's free to run off any trail that he wants, poop where he wants (jojo is not laughing right now!) and run, play frolic like he use to...
remember, he WAS the king and will always be remembered for the strange but funny things he did...so, feel free to leave your favorite Elvis story here.
And always remember him in your heart with a smile...I'm gonna try to (but it's awfully quiet around my house now, no snoring or clip-clop...) it'll take some getting use to but--as we all know "all good things must come to an end". And we took his good along with the (ahem) bad, but he will be remembered as my first kid--the funny one who liked to pee.
Thanks for your happy thoughts, long-distance hugs and prayers--he'll enjoy them too!!

What I remember the most about Elvis was what a gentledog he was at dinner time. He never took a bite from his food bowl without waiting for permission.
He was such a good dog.
We loved Elvis! My favorite memory is when Amy and I stopped at Lake Michigan. I smelt something funky from the back, someone could't wait to get outside so he decided to do #2 in teh back seat! Elvis is the first dog Alyse had ever met and we have some fun memories of hanging out with him in Alaska!
I remeber Elvis coming over to our house to visit...the dawg had worse gas than a 40yo beer drinking/egg eating/lactose intollerant/obese man...I have never smelt anything so rank as Elvis's ass...and I have never heard a dawg belch like him...
Thank for the love Elvis...you were so loveable, goofy and your Momma loved you so much!
