Drabble by Kevin Fagan for November 29, 2014

You have a very high opinion of yourself Wally. I bet if you were faced with an intruder you’d just lick them.

Doxies have very good hearing and sense of smell. Ours begins barking the minute someone comes up the walk. An intruder would think twice before trying to break in. Of course once he was in he would be in no danger since the dog would be hiding under a blanket . . . but still barking.

I remember reading once about someone who had a small guard dog for their apartment. They came home one day and found the dog dead with his head crushed and the apartment burglarized. They thought the dog had been a waste of money until the animal control guy went to pick up the dog and his mouth opened to release a severed thumb. It was easy to catch the thumbless thief by his print after that.

patlaorvi……..if you believe that story, you probably believed the abominable pumpkinman story line. That’s just a tall tale like the ‘hook in the car door handle’ story! They’re all just campfire ghost stories.
