Lady?

Lady
Not Really by Tina~in_ut

Do you ever get an email or joke that is just so funny that you have to share with everyone? Sometimes you get ones that are so well written, you are proud to know the person who wrote it! I received an email that was so hilarious, that I immediately forwarded it to my co-workers and best friend! They all loved it. THEN, I told the writer I was putting it on the blog. I could not deprive others of her superb writing. So here is Zona's email. Enjoy~

"I was sitting here at the computer this morning, and I heard a young boy's voice calling "Lady....Lady..." and then whistling. I looked out the window and there was the new neighbor's son..standing in the driveway, with a boxer puppy next to him.

He was looking down the street and shouting now, "Lady...LADY!!" For all I knew it could have been a Jerry Lewis impersonation, and there was some woman he was calling to come back. I watched and saw a Dobie pup run up to him..ok..it was a real honest to goodness dog that was loose, and had now come home. I started to turn away, but saw that Lady was playing with his sense of relief by turning and running back down the street!

In the meantime he was still trying to keep track of the boxer pup. I went into full helpful neighbor mode and slapped my feet into my flip flops..ran into the kitchen and got some of Nikki's milk bones..which she then tried desperatley to grab back from me..and while pushing her off me, ran out of the front door. I only forgot one thing..it had been raining.

My flip-flop clad foot hit the wet cement, and my leg went straight up in the air, I thought, what a nice tree we have just before my ass and back hit the concrete. I laid there trying to see and catch my breath, weakly holding up the dog biscuits in the direction of the boy.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw a trotting Dobie puppy run up to him...and without so much as a smirk in my direction, the trio went into their backyard..leaving me sprawled on the front walkway. I took a deep breath, and hauled myself first to my knees, biscuits still in hand. I knelt, butt to the street in defiance to anyone who might have a problem with the view, and then slowly stood up. I limped to the front door, where Nikki was waiting for her treats. I opened the security door and threw the damn biscuits across the entrance hall. Nikki ran after them and crunched happily away, as I stepped first out of one flip..than the flop...walked to the sofa and fell into it. Truly Tina...that Lady was a tramp!"

I have always wished I could write like this. Thank you Zona for making me laugh and always entertaining me with your stories! I really wish you would submit you work!
