My Bitch was sorry that "Device For Rooting Out Evil" by Dennis Oppenheim is being removed from the neighborhood where she visits condos and does something she refers to as being a Realwhore--which pays all my vet bills and my grocery bills--so I thought I'd make her feel better by posing in front of this sculpture in my favorite dog park, which is much bigger than the park that the "evil" sculpture is in and this sculpture doesn't obstruct anyone's spiritual beliefs or views (as far as I can see, which is about 1000 meters). This sculpture reminds me of my aging intestines and beaches in California littered with drift wood. I hope this sculpture doesn't become controversial or they'll take it in the elevator-- never to be seen again.... I don't understand that about humans, the way their opinions shift and what was in is soon out and then people and animals and things just disappear. My couch hasn't disappeared.... yet.

Dear J.C.,
Don't feel bad, you might be reincarnated as a dog in a great home next time you reincarnate and not have to be a human DEFENSIVE AND ANTAGONISTIC to art that challenges and incites controversy and discourse. (look what humans did to Machiavelli for instance! When I was a pup and saw that my human had a copy of his discourses I of course ate it right away so she wouldn't be tortured by the Inquisition.... but apparently I was out of context and timeline on that one.... Happy Liver Brownie eating to you J.C.
