Sick as a Dog...

When was the last time you were really sick?

My wife is sick right now, but the dog seems fine.

So right now, she is sicker'n a dog. (That partic'lar dog, anyway...)

I have heard that expression all my life, but I don't really understand it. "Sick as a dog."

Most dogs that I have ever had any dealings with could eat a dead rotten possum, and not get sick, while I'm scared to drink the out-of-date Orange Juice in the fridge, cause I don't want to get "sick as a dog".

What about you?

You ever been sick as a dog?

How was your dog doin'?
