On Saturday night, Uncle Jack arrived.
In a nutshell:
1.) Uncle Jack comes out every year on the first week of September
2.) Uncle Jack causes natural disasters when he visits
3.) Thing break when Uncle Jack comes
4.) Famous dead people die when Uncle Jack comes
5.) We like Uncle Jack
Some quick examples of Uncle Jack's work:
Katrina
September 11th
Gustav (yes, its his fault, and Hanna may be a double banner year of destruction)
Princess Diane
Steve Irwin
There are so many more, just do a timeline search on the first week of September, and if it was bad... blame Uncle Jack.
Ok, as I was saying, Uncle Jack arrived late Saturday, and as we were all napping in our crates after a very tasty kong goody, we were a bit sleepy and disoriented when the humans came home with him.
Usually when a new person comes over, we spend a good 15 minutes attacking them. Hey, its a new person, they need to learn the taste of the claw and they need to spend 15 minutes of undivided attention to us and the best way to accomplish that is to leap on them, knock them down, stomp on them, claw them and bounce off of them. Ask Indy's human woman (by the way, the ear looks great, way to heal... that should be the only way that word "heal" is ever used when it comes to huskies)... anyhoo back to the story.
We were sleepy, so when we sensed a new human entering our domain... well, we did what
comes naturally. It wasn't until it was too late that we discovered that it was Uncle Jack, therefore no greeting other than one claw, one jump (each) and then total indifference unless he's holding food was necessary. So, yeah, sorry about that well place front double paw punch in the nether-regions Uncle Jack. I think the humans have frozen peas in the freezer for that.

Hey, maybe the more you beat him up the less his curse will bother the rest of us!

ReplyDeleteOhhhh I like Storm's comment of a training mission!

I like to take flying leaps onto Dad when he's laying on the couch. I always make sure my paws are aimed just right. I don't want any little biped competition. I'm Dad's best girlie and I want to keep it that way. Steve feels the same way. He doesn't want to share any food.
