“Oh darn. I’m not so glad about that.”
“Just as I predicted. Well, we have no choice but to go streaking back to the yard gate and give Kitty-Kitty the pounding he so richly deserves. Are you ready for that kind of combat?”
“Well, let me think here.” He rolled his eyes and studied the clouds. “I’m so glad the snake turned out to be a rabbit that I can’t feel sad or mad.”
“Pete lied, Drover, that’s why we’re mad.”
“Yeah, but that was the best lie I ever heard.”
“All lies are bad, especially when they cost us our breakfast scraps. You should be outraged.”
He grinned at me. “Yeah, but I’m not. I’m the happiest dog in the whole world.”
“In that case, I have no choice but to pull rank, slap an injunction on you, and force you to shut up.” I slapped him on the bohunkus. “There’s the injunction.”
“Thanks, Hank. I can stand the junk as long as there’s not a snake in it.”
“The junk is in your brain, Drover.”
“No, it’s right over there in the weeds.”
“An injunction has nothing to do with junk. It has to do with . . . you’ve got me so confused, I don’t know what we’re talking about.”
“Rabbits.”
“Yes, of course. Rabbits are an excellent source of entertainment for ranch dogs and they never bite. Any more questions about rabbits?”
“Yeah, just one. How come Pete got all the scraps?”
I blinked my eyes, cut them from side to side, and tried to shake the vapors out of my head. “Drover, have you ever felt that you might be going insane?”
“No, but I sure wonder about the rest of the world. It’s a pretty crazy world.”
“Yes, and you account for 90 percent of it. Now hush, don’t say one more word!”
“Okay.”
“That’s better. Let’s move out.”
And with that, we went streaking down to the yard gate to claim our true and rightful share of the scraps.
