Buddy Greets Delivery Driver

Because Buddy is an exceptionally large dog Weighing ninety-two pounds, measuring five feet Not counting his tail, even though he is only two and a baby Some delivery people are fearful when they see him. He is a gentle giant, but his girth and height are off-putting. If they were smart, they would be more afraid of our twelve-year-old Sophie Our nasty, snapping, snarling, growling, grousing Cocker Spaniel. She would take down a grizzly with her toothless mouth and in a mean way. She is fierce, maybe because she is a female, not like the docile Buddy The recent delivery driver was shaking in her shorts at Buddy. He was placing strategic kisses on her when my husband pulled him off. I was relieved, because straddling her would have been the next activity. I have a camera on my truck she told my man. I will sue you if he bites me. You should have bitten her leg off! I told him. I would have slapped her silly. I would have punched her and kicked her and beaten her a new face. No one threatens to sue my husband. So now you see who Sophie takes after.
