Description
your rear legs caught up with your head. Just look at all this room. And trees. And grass. And huge water bowls. Bro, would two food bowls be just too much to ask for?"
"Okay, let's go back to the house," she demands, "and try to keep your body together this time, okay? Wait a minute! They opened another door and what's that thing coming out? Man, it's hairy, huh? That dude needs a haircut! Look how he walks, bro! Like he owns this place! Okay, he's walking over to us, bro. We gotta' be tough and show this guy who's the boss, huh?"
"Yeah, we gotta' show him who's boss," the big boy exclaims," and I think he's going to be boss, sis! He's gotta' be a bull mastiff, or maybe a Doberman or maybe a beagle, but he looks so mean. I'm gonna' try to be friends with him. Maybe he'll give us the low down on our new home. Good morning, mister, I'm the new boy puppy and this is my sister. We're glad to make your acquaintance.'”
"Don't talk to me, you wimps," the hairy dog growls at them. "I'm the master of this house and don't you ever forget it. Whenever I'm in your vicinity, you will get on your bellies and, even better, on your backs. Don't you ever let any part of your body be higher than mine. I will not play with you, nor will I even acknowledge your presence here. Any time you want to take me on, just remember the story of the three legged dog!"
"Sis, he knows about the three legged dog," the big boy gasps, "so it must be true!" "I don't know about that, bro," the little girl exclaims, "but he's so mean. I don't think we want to tangle with him, do you? He's just mean enough to make both of us three legged. Wow, I'm going to stay a long ways from him. But, it don't matter, bro! It looks like he stays in the house most of the time and we get to stay outside and run and run and run. Hey, let's run down to the big water bowl, and this time, try to make your rear feet stay in line with your front feet, okay?”
"Okay, first one to the water bowl gets to, gets to, gets to do what, sis?" "They get to play some more and then maybe we'll get fed," she says disgustedly. "Hey, look, they're bringing us food. And it's two bowls! My very own bowl! I have my very own food bowl!"
"Well, we need to name them," the new person says, "what about Sheba for her and Shadow for him?" "Yeah, that seems to fit them," the grumpy person replies, "she acts like a queen, and he's been your shadow since we're been here. So, Sheba and Shadow it is.”
