The interloping ginea pig entered my premises…

& duly chased away my guard dog.

The pusillanimity of my Doberman Pincher,

Was roundly discussed by my neighbours, every time I entered the front yard.

My cheeks would blanch at their retorts,

,

My feeble replies were but a thin poultice to my deeply wounded pride.

Next time I’ll choose a miniature Alsatian.
