Now, there happens to be a hilly stretch of plain ice near the house. It never gets sun. One glance and it appeared he was out of control and headed for disaster. Once he hit that ice I'd probably have to call the EMTs to bring their wagon and the Highway Department to repair the dent in the road. I was so embarrassed I got up off my hands and knees.
Dogs are another story.
They are blessed with four paws and claws to go with them. With that equipment they can use their teeth for other things such as human flesh. We are supposed to offer alternative nourishment such as a dog bone or two during these days when they can't forage. The runner is trapped. Actually, I need to find a feed store that takes American Express so I can take care of the canine appetites.
