Literally, laid on his couch for about a week and cried. He sand Lou Dog Went to the Moon into his answering machine. There are several songs that mention Louie Dog, including: Doin Time, Garden Grove/Garbage Grove, and What I Got. Bradley missed Louie Dog so much he had flown to the East Coast on the original Warped Tour. When Louie Dog died, several years after Bradley, the family buried a phial of his ashes with Bradley, and scattered the rest at the same surf spot they scattered Bradley's. To this day the band, now dubbed Sublime with Rome sells Louie Dog shirts at concerts.

Why the snake [[The Farmer and the Viper|hasn't tried eating him]] in all those years is anybody's guess. Somehow the snake [[It Can Think|seems to have figured out]] that the parents will continue to provide it with food and safety so long as it does not harm any of them.
