Pats for Zeke

Posted on by

For anyone who doesn’t read Creek Running North, Chris has a very, very old dog called Zeke. He hasn’t got long to go, and Chris is spending the next year or so making sure the last months are happy ones.

Today I clicked on CRN and got this:

After family discussion regarding a commenter’s threat of violence against our dog, Creek Running North has been taken offline.

I am incandescent. Whoever you are, your awfulness is beyond all description.

I hope you come back as a dog. A stray dog. In Calcutta.

Update 26/10: Hooray! They’re baaaaaack..

Here in this place of dried pigs’ ears
I have attended and obeyed,
And those who menace with vague fears,
If you ask me, can go get spayed.

It matters not how vile their hate,
How lame-anonymous their troll,
I am the master of my plate:
I am the captain of my bowl.

  1. Oh no – I only left a comment there earlier today!

    I probably didn’t help, as I got a bit colourful in response to that threat myself.

    Bugger.

  2. Long may Zeke, his family, and the river pictured run!

    and I dearly hope Karma bites the arse (and bites it HARD) of whoever is low enough to threaten an elderly dog.
