[Dailydrool] Sledding the momPerson

[Dale Rutz]

Hi all, it's Cyrus here,

I am feeling significantly better, in fact, I am at full steam.  I should like 
to wish good health and speedy recovery to all in need, and specifically to Jane 
and to Dan.  If you will accept Labrador drool I will sling significant portions 
your way, along with that of Snoopy and LuLu.

Yesterday evening Snoopy and LuLu and I went for our evening constitutional.  We 
took Natalie along because LuLu like to walk along nicely and Snoopy and I like 
to behave like a couple of lunatics and thus we walk (and I use the term rather 
loosely here) with the clueless momPerson while Natalie and LuLu walk along like 
civilized beings sniffing and trotting with always a loose leash loop between 
them.  Must be a girl thing.

In any case at one point in our walk we rounded a corner and noted the approach 
of another dog and person.  Well, our momPerson may be clueless but she's not 
stupid.  She took Snoopy and I up onto the lawn and asked Natalie and LuLu to 
come too so that dog and person could walk by.  She completely forgot about my 
recovery.  As the dog and person approached and leapt out forward pulling 
momPerson off balance and then dropped to the ground suddently planting 
momPerson firmly on her behind and then Snoopy and I took off at a dead run 
charging at the approaching dog.  Well, as it turns out momPerson does too much 
running and her butt does not have enough size nor mass to gain any traction 
whatsoever (especially on grass) and here she was with a lead in each hand and a 
charging dog (well, at least I'm a dog, Snoopy is whatever these basset 
creatures are) at the end of each lead and momPerson sitting there being dragged 
at high speed (thankfully wearing jeans) across the lawn and over to the strange 
dog.  She then commented "well, at least both of mine are friendly.  Is yours 
friendly?"  As it turns out the dog was NOT friendly and he growled and snapped 
and so I of course defended momPerson and Snoopy.  The poor gentleman was rather 
confused ... he wanted to help momPerson up but at the same time he wanted to 
haul his vicious dog away from the 3 of us .... so ... he dragged his vicious 
beast (who in all fairness was probably just terrified by Snoopy and my 
behavior) out into the street and inquired from there if the clueless momPerson 
was at all injured.  She remained where she sat (on the sidewalk now) and placed 
her feet flat on the ground for traction and replied she was most well and would 
stand up after he had gone so that there would be no risk of a repeat 
performance (remember, all of this started with her standing up).

And so, our neighbor went along his way with his dog and the clueless momPerson 
stood up and gave us both a VERY dirty look and we all continued along our way 
home.

Most entertaining.  Can't wait to do it again tonight.

More later from Cyrus with Snoopy (she's real easy to tip over and even easier 
to drag when she's down) and LuLu (tsk, tsk, tsk)
