Doggie Jail

I was talking to my dad today and he told me a story that about made me pee my pants...Sooo, I want to share it with you!!!

(Before you read this I need to explain something. My dad and mom bought three Labrador retrievers within a year of each other. They have a yellow one, a black one, and a chocolate one. Affectionately they call Coco the "Mexican" one. It's all a big joke and I don't want anyone to take offense of the story!!)

My dad called and after a few minutes I started asking about a few of my sisters. My sister "C" moved out with her boyfriend about a month ago and she took her dog Coco with her.

I asked How "C" liked living with boyfriend and my dad said: "Good, but Coco got into a Mexican knife fight and got thrown in doggie jail. She narrowly missed the electric chair."

Instantly, I was like "huh?"

So he says this time: "'C' took Coco to a family reunion. She got into a Mexican knife fight. A little girl pulled a knife on her so she bit the little girl. This landed her in the doggie jail for ten days."

Okay, at first I was stunned (and mind you I believed him the entire time) and of course I was like "poor Coco" and then I just busted up laughing...because who could believe a little girl would pull a knife on a dog, but it was still a funny story.

Now here's what really happened. "C" did take Coco to her boyfriend's family reunion. Boyfriend's sister has a daughter (who my baby sister loves) who, according to my dad, Coco was playing with all day with no problems. Coco was taking a nap on the floor and the little girl came up behind her and scared her so Coco nipped at her and got her above the eye (Coco is a big dog). The mom of the little girl is the one who decided that Coco needed to go to "doggie jail" but did raise a stink until FIVE DAYS AFTER her daughter got bitten.

Poor Coco, I'm sure she didn't mean to bite the little girl, she was just scared...
