Giving Up Would Be Too Easy

I really enjoy hanging out on my stoop. It is great. It has built in seats that can accomodate 2 maybe 3 people at once on each side. It is covered and cars race right in front of you in the middle of the night. I have seen police chases...dragsters...hondas...PRIMER RED CAMARO's with the guy peeling out on the corner 50 feet away. I've seen drug deals happen down the street. My neighbor who says it's "time to make the doughnuts" when he goes to the "rainbow friendly" bar. I've had chairs stolen off of it. It's kind of a weirdo sesame street.
from this.

to this.......


I don't mind.

So I was outside on the stoop the other day talking on the phone when I see this lady in a silver BMW cruise by... I'm thinking..."COUGAR", but sadly I was wrong. This lady had two dogs running after her. she would drive from block to block and at every stop she opened the door to let the dogs in...the dogs would stop...then she'd get back in and drive and the dogs would howl and chase her....she'd stop...they back off. It was as if the dogs were saying....
"mom, hey mom don't leave we want to go too!"
car stops
"who are you lady...i hate you and i'm not getting in your car...weirdo"
car goes
"MOM! where are you going! come back, stop!"
car stops
"i have no idea who you are...why did you stop the car, please keep going..i'm chasing you"
car goes

and repeat...

So finally "Cougar" comes by and says to me "i'll get one, you get the other".

I give her the thumbs up...
She goes to the next block and stops, hops out of her whip and snatches up young pooch like
Cruella. You know that dog was like " &#^)@#* game over! "

by this time old pooch starts running my way and I dive into the grass like this...

landing inches from pup and snatch up the Pooch. he immediately sits and like takes deep breaths like "OK OK YOU GOT ME!"

Cougar drives up and says..." i just wanted to take them to the park!"

pooch was cute...i whipped out my phone to snag a pic before he was taken away to be made into

pelts.

R.I.P. Poochinski Thanks for the memories dog.
