Gooddog

[den]

It's fairly warm today, touching officially 30C but it's much hotter in the shed here. I have the A/C on, but that means the baby peewees can't stay inside. They are outside, getting exposed to Weather. Polly is outside, too. I'm on my own today and I need someone to be on guard dog duty. Polly is a dog, so she's half-qualified. She's not too fussed with being OUTSIDE, but the concrete near the rest-room is cool in the corner near the door, so she has set up a lookout post there to bark at visitors.

The peewees are in a cage on the other side of the shed, near the doors, where they beg for food from anything that moves.

Almost anything that moves. I heard their alarm sound and looked out the window to see a large grey tabby cat stalking towards them. It was flat on the ground, staring wide-eyed at the little birds and creeping forward. The cat stalked past the open door, not more than a metre from Polly's nose. The dog did not move a muscle. I wondered if she'd seen the cat, grabbed the broom and some handy throwing things, and prepared to dash outside. Polly had seen the cat. The right moment arrived, and she went

"Boff!"

I have never seen a cat levitate and try to turn itself inside out.There was a spray of stones and a cloud of dust as the cat shot across the yard, cleared the fence by simply rising into the air without jumping, and vanished through the hedge. Its noise woke the pack of chihuahuas over there, and they went off like a pack of wild rottweillers on helium.

Polly hadn't moved, apart from her tail which flopped up and down in the dust.

The peewees saw the movement and begged for food.

Polly is a Gooddog.

I wish you had film.. this made me laugh out loud, especially the chihuahuas. :)

I did have my camera, but I was more concerned with grabbing hurling things than taking photos, and then the moment came and it was over in an instant.

Polly has clearly mastered the theory of Just Enough Force.

Polly is a good dog with a sense of comedic timing :)

Oh great. You make me see, in my mind's eye, a member of Monty Python dressed as an English country man, intoning "She is that most dangerous of creatures-- a dog with a sense of comedic timing."

Thank you. I think.

You are most welcome :)

They went off like a pack of wild rottweillers on helium.

That has got to be one of the most creative descriptive similes I've ever heard.

Have the best

"Boff!" What a good dog she is!

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

Not a woof, not a bark. She just sort of blew it out the side of her mouth.

... before hitting them with a story this funny. I've got to go out soon, and I don't want to be seen grinning like a lunatic as I drive through an area where the cops are known to be very vigilant concerning drivers with unusual blood chemistry.

I know, I'll print it out, and show them if they stop me. That should get me off the hook.
