we drove up to reckless records to sell a pile of compact discs and on the way home there was a pileup or shooting and the highway was closed and we detoured on the sideroads and i was forty minutes late for lulu and when i got there she just stared at me from her bed like she'd given up and i was hungry thirsty and hot so we did a quiet walk under the trees and stopped at the fountain for lulu and she was so calm just sniffing around a lot and hanging by my side and i thought it was fine she was so mellow but when i saw john he said she had an overdose of eardrops.
