Two Loose Dogs on an Adventure

One a.m., December 26th, and time for the last walk before bed. Jasper and I had just emerged onto empty 2nd Avenue when we were suddenly beset by Two Loose Dogs on an Adventure. The two dogs menaced and barked loudly at the two of us: a Very Handsome but Not Intimidating Fluffball Canine and a Ponderous Human Waving a Pooper Scooper Around Like a Club. Jasper’s first instinct was to flee, or at least retreat, but the two dogs craftily moved around us and cut off the escape. So we continued walking forward despite being followed and harassed. 

Eventually the dogs broke away and continued on their lark. Jasper spent the rest of the walk in a paranoid frenzy, looking over his shoulder, growling with anxiety, and peeing on every inanimate object. I worried we’d see the dogs again on the return trip, and I’m sure Jasper shared my worry, but we didn’t see the Loose Adventurers again.
