The Mug Shot of Max
| |
I'm Max, the smartest, sweetest, cutest chihuahua in the world. You'd think that having me would be enough, but Mom and Dad got me a sister- Madison, a cocker spaniel. She's written in a couple of times about her adventures, but she was too embarrased to tell this one. Well, that's what "big" brothers are for- so what if she's almost triple my weight now. I'm still alpha. When Mom has to come in to work at night or on weekends when nobody else is there, she lets us come, too. We get to run around and check everybody's trash cans for leftover food. When Mom takes breaks she'll run with us and play hide and seek. We never understand why we can't go every day with her or why she complains sometimes about going. We always have fun there.
We were there one night and I'd raided all the trash cans and had come back to settle in Mom's lap while she worked. Madison was still exploring. She was under and almost behind a desk when she stepped on something that stuck to her foot. She got out from under the desk and tried to walk away from the sticky thing, but it stayed with her. She sat down to try and get it off her foot and the rest of it stuck to her butt and the back of her legs. Then she tried to run away from it, but it was stuck to her butt and legs, so she got scared and started screaming. Mom nearly dumped me in the floor, she jumped up so fast!
When Mom found her, she started laughing! Madison had gotten her butt stuck to one of those glue strips they use to catch mice. Mom had to pull it off of her- which looked like it hurt. Then we had to go home, even though Mom wasn't done working yet. On the way home, Madison got stuck to a plastic bag that was in the back seat. She had to get a bath and our neighbor had to come over and help hold her down so Mom could cut all the glue off Madison's butt, legs, and feet.
The next morning, Mom had to tell the guy who put out the glue strips what happened so he didn't think that there was a huge black rat that escaped the glue strip and was running around the office, because the whole glue strip was covered in black hair and was in a different room!
I'm way too intelligent for anything like that to happen to me, but my sister....well, Mom still calls her Glue Butt sometimes.
