Puppy in a cat fight


Oh boy am I really the worst puppy in the neighborhood today?
This morning I got into terrible trouble!
Well it all started soon after breakfast and I wandered off outside to check the grounds for intruders, I am chief guard puppy after all - it's my job. This is my house and I have to defend it, keep my garden safe from unwanted visitors. There's a big black bird who comes down every morning and pecks at my grass, well I soon see him off.
So there I was on patrol, Chief Inspector Puppydog, sniffing out any unwantables!
When suddenly the big fat cat from next door crossed our garden path, horror, I ran as fast as my little puppy paws could go, I almost caught him.
But then he swerved, cheek, he darted behind the garden shed, if he can get through then so can I. I began to squeeze through to follow when suddenly he lets out this 'hiss' noise, displays all his teeth, they look sharp and swipes a paw at me with these very sharp claws out. I backed away.
He sat behind the shed, I sat looking at him, not one of us moving. A mind game of brilliant puppy v. stupid cat. Who would win, who moved first loses, so I stayed.
I began to get a little tired, this game got boring, he had a lot of stamina, for once I gave up. What was best sitting watching some stupid cat or playing ball games or chasing my puppy tail on the grass, so I decided I had more intelligence and walked away.
A few minutes later the wailing started, what have I done now I thought, looking to the house. But the noise was coming from the shed, it was that stupid cat.
My family came running, with all that noise I thought any minute now the police and fire service will arrive. Our neighbor heard the noise (who didn't!) she came out into her garden. I just stood watching as they all descended on the shed. Why are they looking at me? I didn't tell him to run up there.
It seems that the big FAT cat had got stuck!! ha ha, no I mean poor thing. Well he shouldn't be so fat, exercise would help.
I sat, I watched, I listened, they couldn't make him budge. He was stuck! I thought leave him there, miss a couple of meals he'll slim down and walk out. No, the man from next door came round, I stayed out of his way. He doesn't like puppies! Unbelievable, they took part of the fence down to get him out, decided easier than dismantling the shed. Huh, only a cat! Would they do that for a little puppy like me?
So, down comes fence, out comes cat, he took one look at me, hissed and jumped the other fence to go home.
Now everybody is looking at me, why do they always assume it was my fault. I blame the cat, shouldn't have been trespassing. You have been warned.
