Excerpt of Elvis And The Grateful Dead by Peggy Webb

Elvis Opinion #1 on Impersonators, the Valentine
Family, and Fried Pigskins

If you ask me, all these impersonators running around
Tupelo in sequined jumpsuits could use remedial voice
lessons. Nobody can hold a candle to the King. That would
be me, though these days I could pass through a crowd
unnoticed if it werenโ€™t for my pink bow tie. I also wanted
to wear my black pompadour to the Elvis Festival, but
Callie (my human mom) said basset hounds look silly in
toupees.

What does she know? Donโ€™t get me wrong. Sheโ€™s the
best human mom a dog could have, but she canโ€™t even keep
her own life straight, much less mine. If sheโ€™d seek my
sage advice, Iโ€™d tell her to stop trying to take care of
the world (and that includes picking up stray dogs and cats
as well as loaning money to everybody with a sob story who
walks into her beauty shop). Mostly, though Iโ€™d tell her to
stop divorce proceedings.

If any two people belong together, itโ€™s Callie and
Jack (my human daddy). She says they split over his Harley
Screaminโ€™ Eagle, but I know better. They split because she
wants a family and heโ€™s worried about having children and
then getting shot and leaving them fatherless.

Of course, heโ€™s never told Callie the truth because
heโ€™s never even told her about his real profession โ€“ and if
I told you, Iโ€™d have to kill you. Suffice it to say, Jack
Jones makes Rambo look timid.

Callie and Jack are at an impasse and โ€œAll Shook Up.โ€
At the rate things are going, it looks like Iโ€™ll be punted
between them for the next three years. Like a pigskin.

Speaking of which, I think Iโ€™ll mosey on over to the
refreshment booth and see whatโ€™s cooking. Fried pigskins,
for one thing. Lovieโ€™s in charge. She shares my opinion
that the body ought to be primed with sugar and fat...
