4AM. I wake up to a 75lb dog on my chest licking my face. I have to be up in 2.5 hours to go to work. That's his way of telling me "Get up! I need to go out!" I let him out, and the paperboy is delivering the paper to the building across from us. Mogli glances at him, but otherwise doesn't pay attention to him, until the paper boy starts calling to him. I don't mind, except I'm standing outside in my boxers in sub freezing temperatures, and convincing him to come back inside will now be hard.
Paperboy: tch tch tch! Doggy! Doggy!
*Mogli walks up to him, tail wagging so hard, he can barely walk*
*Paperboy waits for Mogli to get close, then swings at him with one of the papers in his hand, using the plastic bag for more leverage.*
*Mogli tucks his tail between his legs and runs past me and to the door, whimpering the entire way*
I'm too asleep to process what happened until about 45 seconds after being back inside. I called the newspaper at 8 and filed a complaint about him. The lady on the other end of the phone was speechless.
For those not in the know, we rescued Mogli from a shelter. He shows signs of abuse from a male figure in his past. When we got him, he weighed 39 lbs. He's now a healthy 75 lbs, and is happy as ever. At least 1) his prior abuse taught him to run away and duck incoming blows, 2) he doesn't seem to be affected negatively. there was an air conditioner guy this morning by the dumpster this morning he wanted desperately wanted to go say hi to.
...If I see that paperboy around here again, he's going to get the Sunday paper upside the head. see how he likes it. >:-O
