The puppy
I live in a condo in Vegas. There are 3 patches of grass in all the
condo with grass being so expensive in water and dollars. I happen to live next to one of them with my patio right on it. The grass is very popular with all the dogs and cats. One of my neighbors has a new puppy. A Jack Russell puppy to be specific. The combination of the characteristics of the breed, the natural tendencies of a puppy, being locked up all day and finally getting outside to run and frolic on the grass produce some seriously enthusiastic activity. He has Bruiser and Maya in quite a state. Maya gets along well with dogs. I have no doubt it would have been easier to bring a dog into the house than it was to bring Bruiser in. But this puppy is just way too frentic for Maya's taste. Reminds me a lot of the way Bruiser was as a little kitten but even more so. She just charges in at full speed seeming to be moving in all directions but ending up moving mostly forward tail moving too fast to be seen leading with her nose. Way too much for lady like Maya. I was expecting gratuitous feline on puppy violence but Maya just seems more baffled than anything else. She runs and circles which the puppy takes as encouragement that she wants to play. Now Bruiser is more conflicted. He actively goes out near her. Truth be told he is totally fascinated. She is enormously entertaining to watch, in a pinball sort of way. He has to see what she is doing and I am sure he wants to play with her but at the last moment he loses his nerve because its just too much enthusiasm for him to handle and she has even less sense than he had when he was little. She just bulls in there supremely confident that everything in the world is just there to play with her and would be delighted to do so, agressively playful I would guess would be one way to put it. Bruiser did the exact same thing the first 3 months until finally Maya began to let him know she was sick of it. I get a big kick out of seeing Bruiser be out Bruisered. |

ROFL! I love your description of the pets and their interaction. Very funny,
thanks. -- Marina "John Biltz" wrote I live in a condo in Vegas. There are 3 patches of grass in all the condo with grass being so expensive in water and dollars.
