The death of Oakliegh

Holy crap! The kid's coming for the body

Mother Superior woke this morning with an evaluation of what happened to Oakliegh's head. The story that Oak bit someone, thus necessitating her beheading for rabies testing, does not wash.  Oakliegh was paralyzed with probable encephalitis, and was besides wearing her tags - which showed she had all her shots.  Here's MS's theory ... The vet is an animal neurologist, and he wanted to study Oak's brain. He had earlier expressed the unique nature of Oakliegh's condition, and told Hucker that the closest thing he'd seen to this was a case of botulism 11-12 years prior.   There is nothing wrong with wanting to advance the science, if this was the case, and Hucker would have agreed to allow it in a heartbeat, had he been asked.  MS guesses that the vet didn't want to risk refusal, or even excuse part of his several thousand dollar fee in return for permission.  That would explain why they were surprised when Huck said he was coming to get the body.  ''Holy crap Doctor! The kid's coming for the body.'' By the bye, if it was me I'd pursue it by calling the county, and asking whether they had ordered the brain for a mandatory rabies check.  If they said, ''WTF are you talking about,'' I'd be driving that guy's BMW next week. Oakliegh would say woof-woof. Here are previous posts on this matter Good Lord, now grand-dog Oakliegh has Encephalitis. Say a dog prayer for her. My dog, named Oak If you have a pet - tuck this away Today's bad thing #2
