Black Humour

Black Humour The day tragedy struck, a misfortune that also held in It´s grasp a tendency to giggle, a black sort of humour when laughter threatens to replace sorrow. My little cabin is built on a slope therefore every room has a different level, two steps up three steps down and so on. I used take in dogs for owners who didn’t want them in a kennel but leave them in cosy a family setting. One day I got a blind dog, but after a couple of days it quickly learned where the steps were. Two weeks later the lady called she was picking up her bundle of joy, and the dog barked into the phone; smile and happiness. When the dog heard the car stop it was in the kitchen it raced into the hall forgetting the steps- three of them- it fell awkwardly broke its neck and died.
