I was outside doing some minor gardening when Angela arrived home. Angela was a twenty year old blonde. Hazel eyes, nicely shaped body, and a pretty face. Last, but by no means least, she had a magnificent rack, high and firm, leading the way when she walked. (I'm only guessing about the firmness as I've never had the pleasure of finding out personally.)
She drove up in her little sports car and just sat there, not moving. Looking a little closer I could see she was crying. I strolled over and opened the driver's door.
"What's wrong, Angela?" I asked, injecting sympathy into my voice.
"Jojo is dead," she wailed and the silent tears became a full on crying jag.
It took me a while to remember who Jojo was and then I remembered she had a rat-sized dog with a penchant for trying to bite ankles. Why losing that mutt was a crying occasion was beyond me? I'd have thought a celebration was more in order. Still, the girl was upset so I had to do something.
I coaxed her out of the car, extracting her keys at the same time. I led her inside and had her sit on her couch, sitting next to her with an arm around her.
"Do you want to tell me about it?"
She shook her head in refusal so I just sat and waited. After a while she started talking.
"Jojo was sick last week," she said. "I took him to the vet who gave him some medicine and also drew some blood for pathology. Jojo was fine after taking the medicine but the Vet called me earlier asking me to bring Jojo in for a follow-up. No charge, he said, so I took poor Jojo over. That rotten man took Jojo from me, excused himself and went into the back room to give Jojo an injection. Poor Jojo dropped dead on the spot."
"That's terrible," I said, and I did feel a little shocked. "What did the vet say?"
"He claimed that Jojo had a contagious disease and had to be put down as people could get it. He said it was a disease that dogs caught from pigeons. Jojo has never played with a pigeon in his life."
Maybe not but I'd wager it would have eaten pigeon poop. Little dogs like that eat everything.
