Guess what! My canine Ma (SaiFon) and Pa (Nitro) are visiting for the holiday weekend. They came all the way from Iron Dog Land.
The rest of my family were here too but they went on to K-9 Town. This place isn't big enough for all of them. They mean well but they're pretty wild. They'll have a ball with my pack. We're one big family.
SaiFon hadn't met Babee even though we gave him our last name, Blue. Her and Nitro love him already.We're having story night. Babee wants to know what happened when the mountain lions followed me and my pack to Iron Dog Land. He's a year old now, so it's okay to tell him about it.
It all started one day when my good friends Rottweiler Brady and Pittbull Sammy were out walking and met up with mountain lion Booby and a few of his followers. Booby started a fight with Brady and got beat down. Pittbull Sammy wanted the others to jump in but they wouldn't. They knew better. Lucky for them, we don't start trouble. We finish it.
Here's Brady and Sammy, always the happy duo. They came to say hello to Nitro and SaiFon.
We're not telling the whole thing, but this will give Babee an idea of what happened and how we handled it. SaiFon and Nitro like this part best anyway.
Mountain Lion Booby was filled with
joy
He thought he had a plan
But why spend any time on that
They’d catch them as they
ran.
We know Booby wasn’t very smart
But he should have noticed too
The higher they went into the
hills
The smaller their numbers grew.
There was no explanation
For the others didn’t know
By then their numbers were so
large
Who cared, let um go.
The only thing
He asked the pride
And he was speaking mighty low
“Save that professor Brady for
me
Gonna beat him nice and slow.
You should have seen
The way he snuck me
And I didn’t fall, I slipped
Just so happens I hit my head
Made it look like I’d been
clipped."
The others had heard the story
Quite different from what he
said
If the Rottweiler was that easy
Booby would have taken his head.
They were far up in the hills
now
A place they’d never been
It seemed so dark and desolate
Though the sun was shining in.
There was something wrong about
this place
They all felt this was true
But what it was
they didn’t know
Didn’t even have a clue.
They went to talk to Booby
We’ve waited long enough
Tonight we’re gonna show them
Omar’s pack don’t look that
tough.
Meanwhile down below the hill
Omar sat back with his pack
They could feel the tension
rising
The lions would soon attack.
They gathered in a circle
Each knowing what to do
A tougher pack you’ll never see
Led by Omar Blue.
Bennie Ba the big white wolf
Walked over to Omar’s side
Then Diggs, Brady, Sammy, Kooley
and Jim
Made the front line seem quite
wide.
The others were behind them
Too numerous to call
Shepherds, Ridgebacks, Pittbulls,
Hounds
No way to name them all.
Then Paco the angry Chihuahua
Yelled out from the back
“Lets get those mountain lions
We’ll teach them to follow our
pack”.
Somehow the whole pack heard him
And they rallied to the sound
Gonna take the fight to the
lions
No way to settle down.
Omar yelled “LET’S DO IT!”
With a deadly look on his face
“And don’t worry any one of you
Cause we all gonna leave this
place”.
The females gathered the puppies
Who did what they were taught to
do
The Professor and Sophie
Had trained them well
To stay out of the enemies view.
The females would protect them
Their number one thing to do
But the Elder Seers spoke up
then
We’ll protect them
You go too.
The females looked suspiciously
It was Great Dane Jennie who
spoke
“Grandma what have you two done
You know this ain’t no joke”.
“Jennie don’t you sass me
And Rasta Mama here
We made a special potion
When we knew the battle was
near.
Together we’re stronger than 20
of you
We’ll keep our pups real calm
If the mountain lions make it
over here
We’ll inflict plenty harm."
Rasta Mama spoke up then
“I’ll prove what we can do”
She ran and kicked a big fat
tree
Her foot went right on through.
The females looked at each other
The Seers had done it again!
They’d protect the pups no
matter what
They’d be with them til the end.
They ran to their male Elders
They left the Seers behind
Not worried about the puppies
now
They knew they’d be just fine.

Meanwhile at the top of the hill
Booby’s pride was looking down
They were thinking maybe this
wouldn’t work
Their numbers weren’t that
sound.
The dogs were outnumbered
Three to one
And they knew but didn’t care
They completely turned the
attack around
Only Omar’s pack would dare.
We’ll do what we came here for
Gonna wipe out Omar’s pack
But when we leave this
mysterious place
We don’t ever wanna come back.
The mountain lions headed down
the hill
Gonna meet them face to face
Each had an erie feeling
There was something about this
place.
As they went further down the
hill
Omar’s pack was coming up
They were about to meet in the
middle
When something else came…
OMAR!!!!!!!!!
Came a mighty roar
That nearly shook the ground
Every animal on the hill
Stopped and looked around.
To the lions amazement
What they saw
They might not live to tell
They’d never been this afraid
before
And they all could fight quite
well.
Up the hill behind them
Circling for all to see
Were the biggest, meanest
looking Dobermans
That there could ever be.
Each weighed at least 200 lbs.
All muscle easy to see
All were focusing on the lions
Who had no place to flee.
They moved apart
To make a space
Why, only Omar knew
Cause through that space
Baddest of them all
Came Nitro and SaiFon Blue.
They looked around
Didn’t need no crown
They were the leaders
Of Iron Dog Land.
Omar turned
To face his pack
Said “Get ready to meet my
clan”.
Nitro looked at the lions
SaiFon looked at her baby boy
If she saw one nick
On Omar’s body
She’d command the clan to
destroy.
Nitro spoke to the lions
“We know you were looking to
fight
So we’re gonna make sure
You’ve had your chance
If we let you leave here tonight.”
Omar walked up to them both
“I brought my pack
To meet you all
We had put aside the lions
And were really having a ball.
We were about to put an end to
this
I planned to do it before you came.
Was gonna show those lions
A thing or two
Then send them home in shame”.
“We’ve been watching you, said
Nitro
You’ve quite an amazing pack
We liked the way they stood by you
And had each others backs.
I know you’d like to finish this
But you all have done enough
We’re taking the lions off your hands
Gonna show them how to be tough."
Omar looked at Booby
He could swear he saw a tear
“Pa let’s just send them all
back home
We might do this again next
year”.
All the K-9s started laughing
Omar’s pack and his kin too
Then SaiFon spoke to the lions
"Tell you what I’m gonna do.
I’ll follow my boys advice this
time
But you better get this clear
Omar don’t need no watching
But if he needs us we’ll be there."
The lions showed a spark of life
Could this really be true
They’re not even gonna beat us down
Omar’s kin opened up the circle
Thank you Omar Blue!
But only a little space
For the lions to walk through one by one
As they looked in each one’s face.
Booby and his pride had gone a ways
As they looked in each one’s face.
Then stopped to take a rest
They wanted to talk about what just happened
Booby told it best.
“I’ve never been scared
Like that before
What made us come up here.
Did you see the looks they gave
us
When they let us out of there.
They called that place Iron Dog Land
And they all were Omar’s kin
No wonder he’s so big and bold
Look what he grew up in!
And I have to admit that Omar’s pack
Fit in that place just right
Their the bravest bunch of K-9s
I ever met until tonight."
