-Do Not Do Drugs

My husband was helping clean out an old shed
With our dog contently watching him
All rubbish items were thrown to the ground
Ready to go in the big hire bin

Very late the same  evening while we watched t.v
I thought our dog looked somewhat cock-eyed
Sitting upright with his eyelids closing
Leaning right over to one side

He tried to walk but couldn’t 
His legs just wouldn’t move
We popped him between us on our bed
Hoping through the night he would improve.

He lay all night in the exact some spot
Did not even move a limb
I lay awake all night 
Cuddling and comforting  him

Morning arrived we were off to the vet
Worried and in sombre moods
Though when he  woke, off the bed he jumped
Straight to his water and food

He ate ,drank and slept all day long
Our boy was again relaxed and happy
There were no signs anything was wrong now
Other than  he was a ravenous ,weary chappy !

Baffled by the situation 
We discussed  what had occurred
My husband suddenly remembered something
In that moment we both knew …..without a spoken word!

While cleaning out that old shed that day
A  small plastic bag found had been thrown to the floor
Inside was some old dried up vegetation
Just some rubbish and nothing more

Our dog was found licking inside the bag
Completely in a world of his own
My husband smelt the bag …..”it was weed”
Our dog had been off his head stoned!!!!
