The Melee

Bubsy: Who should tell this story, sissy? We had a crazy week. It was a true rollercoaster. 🎢 

Sissy: Your life flashed before my eyes not once but twice. First we suffered thru more rainy weather. It’s like we live in Seattle or something. Then on Wednesday I witnessed Bubsy getting stabbed repeatedly. I was astonished once again, when mom stood by and calmly let him get stabbed as she chatted with the perpetrator(the vet). 

Bubsy: Oh geez, pardon my ultra dramatic sissy. I went to the vet and got my shots. I’m in optimum condition and the vet said I’m “extra” lean. Sounded like a good thing to me so I was happy. And mom seemed happy too. 

Sissy: For those that aren’t aware, our mom always takes both of us when one of us has to go to the vet. I love going to the vet when it’s Bubsy getting shots or tended too. Because I get treats and no suffering for me occurred.😉

Bubsy: I literally limped for a day after my shots. It wasn’t until Friday that my limp went away. 

Sissy: It’s a good thing you were back to 100% by Friday because you needed to be on your “A” game. 

Bubsy: Now for the long story…It was a beautiful Friday morning. The rain had dried up and it was perfect weather. There we were on our walk. It was our quick walk we take right before mom leaves for work. We had just turned the corner to head towards our house, when all of a sudden a unleashed dog came darting at us. Mom stepped in front of sissy as she tried to grab me. The other dog seemed to be after me. He was chasing me in a circle. Mom got knocked down, she felt sissy behind her still. She grabbed me and pulled me close to her. The other dog was trampling us, mainly mom. The owner of the dog finally got a hold of her dog and started to walk away. The owner of the dog never apologized. Never offered to help mom up. Never asked if any of us were okay. The owner of the dog said ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO OUR MOM. As mom got up she looked behind her and sissy was gone. Completely vanished. Nowhere in sight. Mom hit the panic button. She yelled to the other dog’s owner, “where is my littlest dog?” The other dog’s owner did not respond and never said a word to mom. Another neighbor ran to the scene to help mom. Mom checked me over quickly, then handed me to the neighbor that came to help us. The neighbor took me to clean me up, I was a very muddy boy. Meanwhile, mom stayed outside looking for sissy. Mom ran up the street and around the corner and no sissy. Then another neighbor yelled down the street to mom that sissy was standing at our front door. Mom was very overcome with emotion and adrenaline and ran home to sissy. The neighbor that took me to clean me up for mom soon brought me to our front door too. I had no injuries from the melee but mom is a little banged up. She’s got some bruises from the big dog stepping on her, as well as a sore elbow from using it to intervene between me and the big dog. We have no idea how or at what point sissy left the scene. But clearly she left the scene.

Sissy: I like getting sassy but I don’t like to stick around to possibly become a snack for a big dog so I was outta there. 

Bubsy: I’m very glad you were unharmed sissy. But running from mom is not good. However, these were special circumstances. I think you have proven you are a believer in the philosophy of “every man for himself”. But you’ve also proved you know home. And you know where your safe place is. 

Sissy: I am unlike that other dog. I would never think to leave my home to dart after another dog or animal. 

Bubsy: But sissy, can you imagine the panic attack you gave mom when she got up from being stepped on by a huge dog and you weren’t anywhere in her sight. 

Sissy: I regret that part. But my instinct to get home to my safe place took over in the midst of the melee.

Bubsy: Mom of course wishes the whole thing never happened but she’s happy neither of us was hurt. She said she’d rather have a few injuries than deal with one of us being injured. 

Sissy: I guess, she’s a typical mom. Whether you are a mom to human kids or fur kids, a true mom would rather be injured then see her kiddo injured. 

Bubsy: In other news, we’ve enjoyed a fun but low key weekend. We had company over last night so we stayed up extra late. Today has been rather low key and we are currently missing the first part of the Cowboys game to post this. Perhaps, we should wrap this up and get to the game. Have a beautiful week, friends.🐾…And as you can see in the pic below, sissy was being a bit lazy with her posing during this photo shoot. 📸
