Vicious

Sol

The other night we took the pugs to the City Center for a nice stroll around the lake.  On our way out of the house, we made our way through the laundry room and I opened the door leading to the garage.  When I opened the door, I realized that the big garage door was up.  The pugs weren’t leashed because we were headed right to the car and I didn’t think the garage door was open.  I didn’t think much of it, though.  The pugs were so excited to be going for a car ride that they were just running big circles around the car and out into the driveway waiting for me to get them buckled in.  Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a man walking down the street.  I saw him and so did the pugs.  I didn’t make a big deal out of it because I knew the pugs were so happy to be going in the car that they wouldn’t care about greeting the man walking down the street.  Sol, however, felt obligated to give him the what’s what.  She trotted over to the edge of the driveway, stood tall and let out three woofs for good measure.  The man turned and smiled and Sol stood her ground until he was past the house.  Then she turned, proud of herself, and ran to the car.

So if you are walking by the house, and Sol happens to be awake, you’ve been warned.
