Fight by the doghouse

BOOM!

“One of the enemies rammed into the wooden fence, causing it to shake like the last leaf on a tree in the autumn winds. The other one avoided it and kept chasing me around the corner. It seems that I have underestimated my opponents, but I shall win!

Moving my legs as fast as I could, I ran down the street towards my house, where I would have the advantage of the home turf. Ignoring everything around me, I almost reached it when I stumbled on a bottle and fell hard. Damn people, leaving their trash on the roads. Hurriedly I got up and turned towards my opponent who was coming in hot, his eyes full of killing intent.

I would not make it home if I started running again, so I decided to fight. A car drove by (far too fast) and scared my attacker for a moment, but it was just that, a moment. In the next one, he launched himself toward me.

Spinning out of the way at the very last moment, I dodged the attack coming straight at my head. Right away, I returned the blow, succeeding in scratching his leg. I couldn’t do much more as I saw the other enemy running down towards us as well. While I could probably handle one out in the open, I would need to be at home for both of them.

The problem was, though, that one of them was between me and my house and I would have to be very creative with my way of escape. Quickly looking around for anything of use, I spotted the bottle I tripped over. I recognized it as vodka, there were some bottles of it at home and as far as I know, it did not taste very good. Not very good at all! There was still some of it left inside, so I grabbed it with my mouth and successfully sprayed it on the enemy’s face, making him howl in pain as the weird liquid landed in his eyes.

Not wasting a beat, I sprinted towards the gates of my house. Turning around the corner I saw the familiar red house and sped up a bit more to get to it. But I was too slow.

An unimaginable pain erupted in my rear left leg as I crashed to the ground, just a few meters from my home and certain victory. I could not even howl and barely got my head up to see the vicious beast with my leg in his bloody mouth. The other one was right behind it, slowly moving to surround me.

Perhaps it was not the greatest idea to call their mother a bitch. Maybe, after all, I could not beat them by myself.

But as if the heavens saw my struggle, the doors of the house opened and out stepped my human, with a steel rod in his hand.

“Get the fuck off my dog you bastards!” he shouted and aimed his rod towards one of the invaders. They were that now, being on my land.

BOOM! If the first boom was a rock thrown at the ground from a high place, this one was a car crashing into a brick wall. I never really understood these so-called ‘guns’, but I have to admit, they were sometimes even more useful than my claws and fangs.

The attacker biting down on my leg fell with a thump and remained motionless. It's no use having shard teeth now, huh? Contrary to expectations, however, the other one did not run, but bounced on me and tore off my front right leg before another BOOM was heard and he fell as well. I couldn’t keep my eyes open anymore and fell asleep at that point.”

Taking a pause, the storyteller looked at his audience.

“So, listen well my grandchildren! Even when you’re as great and mighty as me, your grandfather, do not be afraid of asking for help when you need it! I paid for that lesson with two of my legs, do not repeat my mistakes! Especially since you’ve been born like this, without claws or fangs!”

“Aww look at them, it’s like Kiwi is telling them a story,” a woman said to another. She watched her chihuahua bark and move up and down in front of the kids.

They were having a birthday and invited their friends over, so they put Kiwi to “guard” the kids while they made lunch.

“But damn Janise, it surprises me every time how it’s still alive after what those two bulldogs did to it.” The other woman shook.

“Well yes, but doesn’t he look cute as hell with that wheelchair keeping him up?” Janise laughed loudly.

Kiwi looked up at her and barked twice.

“Silence, I’m teaching!”
