About Me:
I was born in the country by a lake named Michael. My breeder thought I was lazy, but I was just observant and laid back. I knew my bitch would call for me at the right time, and she did.
Her name is Christine Saulnier but I call her The Bitch, T.B. for short. My kennel call name was Cool Blue. When T.B. and I fell in love I offered her Christine Blue as a new name, but she said I was with her to take the blue out of Christine. I think I have. She wears red quite often.
My Bitch wanted to call me Getz, but I refused to respond thinking, “you threw the damn thing, you getz it.” "Mingus" sounded better all around to me. I relate to dissonance.
I’m fourteen in human years now. T.B. thinks it is an appropriate time to write my memoirs so that she'll have this legacy of me after I die. What if she dies first, what will I have? A dead writer and all the beds to myself?
