Join me today. Let’s go for a walk. It’ll be fun, I promise. OK, if it’s not fun it will at least be new blog fodder. So join me, shall you?
I have a dog.
My dog’s name is Rocco.

My dog loves to take me for walks. He’ll enjoying walking you too. I hope you wore your shoes with extra traction.
He likes to make me walk fast. Very fast. I have to try very hard to maintain my footing. You like power-walking, right? Right?!
My dog also likes to turn into psycho, make me roller skate without skates, dog when he sees another four-legged creature in his line of vision. How do you feel about roller skating? It’s fun isn’t it!
2 Remaining Brain Cell Lady (whom I will refer to as 2RBCL) is walking her Rat dog while we are walking the Roc. No, don’t wave. You will be acquainted shortly.
(Not an actual photo of Rat dog, but wouldn’t you know it- 2RBCL decided to walk her rat dog again today while I was taking photos for this post. Thank you and you’re welcome.)
Come on, we need to walk on the opposite side of the street from 2RBCL with Rat dog because that’s what a responsible pet owner does. Remember when I said that Rocco can become a little psycho? Yeah. Don’t forget that.
Rat dog kept turning around to check out the Roc.
2RBCL kicked Rat dog for turning his head around and set him flying off the curb with her foot. Dog owner FAIL.
We roll our eyes and say *tsk tsk*
(FYI- Google Images “Rolling Eyes” brings up things I wasn’t expecting to see.)
2RBCL beat us to the corner on her side of the street and decided to cross the street and return from where she came on our side of the road. What was that I just said about responsible pet owners? And what was it you were supposed to remember about Rocco? Oh yeah, he likes when other dogs come near him. Especially small ones.
I looked at 2RBCL and said to myself, “Self, she is a bonafide fool.” You, you are speechless. But it’s OK. This is your first rodeo walking the Roc and next time you will be able to speak to yourself too.
I wrap Roc’s leash all the way around my hand and brace myself so that Roc would have to fight every ounce of my weight when he dives for Rat dog. You can brace yourself too just because. You might want to hold onto me. We may need the extra weight to hold him back.
2RBCL just keeps walking towards us while we stand, feet planted firmly, waiting for the Roc to attack. You are about to witness something closely resembling Linda Blair in the Exorcist. Are you ready? It’s a sight to behold.
2RBCL ignored the truck on the street that had slowed down to a crawl to watch the action play out. Isn’t being the amusement for others fun?

2RBCL came within arm’s distance of the drooling, panting, heaving, Rocco and said, “ My dog would be his…” Did you hear the rest of her sentence? I had a hard time deciphering her words. What with all the growling and barking and what not.

Don’t worry, I’ve got a good hold of Rocco’s leash. I no longer have any circulation going into my hand, but Rat dog is safe… for now.

We manage to continue on our way and head home. Are you OK? You’re kind of breathing hard. Don’t worry, you’ll build up your endurance the more you join us.
Well, was our walk fun? Did you enjoy yourself? Want to come back and play again tomorrow?

I am linking up today with Rachel and Mr. Daddy at Once Upon a Miracle.
