Drabble by Kevin Fagan for April 16, 2021

Gotta keep those badgers away…..

Those tough little doggies don’t know they’re little. Wally is adorable!

Nice Wally flag there!

It’s funny when they do that. Half choke half bark.

Would be thieves won’t know whether to laugh or not; that’s what makes the flag effective.

Their first thought must be “Wally” is a pooch!

And tested by badgers.

Drop the decibels a couple of notches and that’s the sound my dog makes when she barks in her sleep. It’s amusing because, in 8 years, I’ve only heard her bark when she’s awake six times. She’s a rescued pitbrador and I think the people she escaped were on the evil side.

Nothing is cuter than a dog barking in its sleep while dreaming.

Back when I was a kid, we had a dog who frequently had a tennis ball in his mouth. He would bark around it, which we kids thought was really funny. A couple of different times, strangers walking up the street would tell us not to laugh at his doing that because it was dangerous. Get the ball away from him, they’d tell us, and don’t laugh about it. We’d politely thank them for their concern and go on to explain that he always did that and was quite safe.

Is Wally a dachshund?
