A conversation over dinner

in writing

I’m watching the dog chew on a stuffed hedgehog.  “I wonder what stops her from doing this to our faces while we sleep.”

The dog noses inside the toy and disembowels it.  Stuffing is strewn all over the rug.

“I’ll take first watch,” Dan says.

    hee hee. this is like the conversation we had after the cat spazzed out and launched a full-claws midnight attack on david’s toes, at which point, we remembed — oh yeah, we cohabit with a predator.

    You know, that’s a brilliant observation. I mean, that woman in France (First Face Transplant Dudette) fell asleep and her dog DID eat her face.

    From an old article I read: Should you up and die in your home and go unnoticed – a dog will wait a week before consuming you. A cat will wait 3 days. So take solace in the fact that you own a dog and your face is a little safer :-)
