The
Soothsayer says "Beware the ides of March." While it is possible
that he
was talking to Julius Caesar, a dog can't be too careful. He might
just as easily have been prophesizing about Little Bit in 2005 as he could have been
about Caesar. You know how people with big egos always make things about
themselves...
So I was going to stay in bed today just to be safe. Then lunch time rolled around, and well, you know me, I had to get up. Mmmm, lunch.
After lunch, we went for a walk. It was a nice sunny day, a little cold
for the middle of March at 42o F, but what is a dog to do? I'm not mother nature after
all! So we get started and this obnoxious dog starts barking like crazy.
There wasn't anything worth barking at. Maybe a bird or two around,
but certainly not worth all of that noise.
Well, before you know it, there IS something to bark about. We see this little white Westie. His boss ma'am was wearing a Tigger sweatshirt all innocent like. Let me tell you, Lyle and I knew better. I've never known an innocent Westie and this being the ides of March and all, we gave him and his boss ma'am the what for.
Then, nothing much again and we are strolling along. Actually the boss man was dragging me saying that Lyle and I are an embarrassment-can you believe that??? So like I was saying, we were strolling along when all of a sudden, threat level bravo again. We see this miniature dachshund puppy coming at us all cute as can be. Well, I know that puppies pretend to be all innocent and all, but they are all troublemakers. All of them I tell you! Well, not only did Lyle and I give her the what for (actually we took it easy on her and gave her the what two), but I slipped out of my harness and went over for a closer inspection. Well, I can tell you that the puppies boss ma'am wasn't smiling after that. Again, Lyle and I get the embarrassment lecture.
Well,
we made it home without any further incident. The worst that has happened
so far was that the boss man made us sit in the corner and "think about" what we
have done. All that came to my mind was "No bad dogs here."
I'll bark (and bark (and bark)) at you later.
Little Bit
