No Comments Day 6 – A New Character
I picked up my dog from the Vet today. I had to carry him because he was so hevily sedated.
We headed over to Redondo Beach for some lunch, after the car ride he could still hardly walk. He staggered into a pet store with me and endured the rantings of the old woman who worked there. She claimed to be able to sperm the language of dogs and sat and talked to the poor guy for about 20 minutes, answering her own questions to him.
Despite the drugs, had I been in his paws, I would have attacked her jugular after the third time she assumed I was going to be, OK despite the recent loss of my testicles.
this dog is awesome.
The dog(still nameless) did try to kill my friend Ferrell at lunch. He was a stray, the alfa male of a small pack, and has an inate desire to be independant. (sound familiar) He’s also very clever, and while most the time he puts up a guise of being submisive, following instructions and orders easily, he is actually biding his time. He is waiting for the moment to escape. And, despite his intoxicated state, he did just that this afternoon.
he had been lounging on a bench, enjoying a back rub while we ate, only a few feet away from a busy intersection. As we were getting ready to leave, I placed him on the ground, without his leash attached. Without warning, he bolted into the busy intersection, causing Ferrell, the closest, to chase after him. The suicide attempt was acctually a ploy, we later realized the dog was trying to dwindle the number of his captors by leading us into traffic. As soon as Ferrell was in the street, the dog ducked for cover under a parked car, leaving his pursuer exposed in the dangerous street. Luckily we all survived.
