A Scary Tale For Halloween

Well, scary for those of us who are frightened by little puppy monsters with sharp little teeth and deceptively fast little leggies....

Don't get me wrong. I sort of like my sister, when she's napping.  But she sort of terrifies me when she's racing after me with those jaws that bite and claws that catch.  (Yes, I think she should have a name tag that reads 'Jabberwock' but Mom says that wouldn't fit on a tag. I say if Hippobottomus fit on a tag, Jabberwock totally should.  Mom thinks it would look weird hyphenated, since it wouldn't all fit on one line... Of course, I also think 'Bandersnatch' would be a great name for Daisy... Clearly I need to talk more with Mom about this.)

Seriously - how would YOU feel with something like this coming after you?

You think I look happy here - I'm really trying to plot my next move!

Aaaah!!! She's after me!!

And she does this All The Time.  Seriously.

Oy.

I mean, can't a girl just enjoy some quality tennis ball time?

Only if Mom throws it DEEP into the yard.

Otherwise, the wee beastie is right underfoot. (And then she tries to bitey my foot!)

This is Scary Stuff!

I keep hoping that if I just don't look down, she'll not attempt to bitey me.

However, I really should know better by now...

*sigh*

The worst part, is that the wee beastie even thinks SHE is the Princess of the Tennis Balls.

Not quite yet, my short little friend...

Yup. Cue the Ennio Morricone music.

On the other hand, she can look so cute, when she's not baring her teeth...

She has perfected this look, so when she does something bad, she just has to pull this face, and Mom forgives her.

How does she look SO INNOCENT when we all know that she's thinking about bitey-ing me?!?

And she does seem to manage to tie herself up into Puppy Pretzels, allowing me plenty of time to escape.

I guess I am going to have to put up with this for quite a while....

*sigh*

Have a great week, and hope I develop some sort of puppy-shield, or I'm going to end up with a lot of puppy tooth-sized holes in me!
