Puppy Talk: Ready to Rumble



Omar:  Sophie had us howling a while back, about hearing the puppies threatening to handle the mountain lion Rottweiler Brady had to discipline. This happened just before we left to visit my clan at Iron Dog Land. Those puppies... What a hoot!

Here's what happened. ("Led By An Eagle" excerpt)

K-9 Town was buzzing 

they were visiting Omar’s kin

the females were getting ready

the puppies were in their den.

 

They were practicing their snarling

as they listened to Le, Li and Lu

tell how Professor Brady

broke the giant mountain lion in two.

 

The Chihuahua puppy triplets

the puppy leaders too

yelped, that lion should have come to us

to hear what our professor could do.

 

They laughed 'til their little tummies ached

then they laughed some more

bet we could handle, that mountain lion

if he ever comes to our door.

 

Maybe we’ll get to see ‘um

on the way to leader Omar’s kin

we’ll run away from the shepherds

and beat him up again.

 

Poodle Sophie Jean scurried in

schoolmarm and Brady’s wife

she had to hold her laugher in

it might just save a life.

 

What’s this you say, about running away

while the shepherds, are watching you

I tell you now, if you try it

we’ll be all over you.

 

Ain’t talkin about the professor

I’m leavin the shepherds out too

‘cause me and the other females

are the ones, gonna handle you!

 

Now quiet down, and take your naps

there’s a real long trip ahead

when you wake up we’ll be leavin’

but remember what I just said.

 

The puppies grumbled softly

when Sophie was out of view

the female elders didn’t play

when they came after you.

 

With groggy eyes they yapped their plan

that lion would still be there

they’d take the professor with them

then the females wouldn’t care.

 

So off they went to dreamland

nothing else they could do

in a little while they’d be bigger

they’d take Pitbull Sammy too.
