I could tell by the sound of her walking that Dixie was about to ask me about something, and since she came in from the outside there was a fair chance that darned cat was behind it.
I said, "What's up, Mammal?"
"Morris said…"
"Wait, what have we discussed about things Morris says?"
"That he tells lies?"
"Among other things. Okay, what did he say this time?"
"He said that a big white cat, something called a snow leopard, was going to come by in the night this week to visit all the four leg people. The good ones he'll give special treats that will give us the ability to fly and put two legs into a long sleep so we can play a long time, and the bad four legs he'd eat."
"Uh-huh, and let me guess, this snow leopard can fly himself, and his name is Sandy Claws?"
"Oh, good, you know about this. Am I a good dog?"
"Dix, I know about this because Morris is warping a two legs story to meet his story. Don't worry, no big white cat like that will come here. Besides, you're the Holy Terrier, and you've proved to me that you have excellent hunting skills. And yes, you're a good dog, not that it matters because Morris is full of… litter. Again."
"Why does he do things like that? He's always telling lies and trying to upset the rest of us; he stays away from Sparky's yard because Sparky told him the next chance he gets he's going to take off Morris's tail for being a liar liar. He says something about Morris's tail being on fire too."
"I know what he's referring to. Don't worry – Dix, what do I ask of you to help out around here?"
"Bark at things and get rid of four legs who don't belong in the house."
"Yes, and the other two legs who lives here, let's call her Patio Mama, tells me that you left a dead rat on the rug in front of the kitchen sink this morning."
"Yes, I told it to leave and it ignored me, so I did my job."
"Thank you. Now, remember, Morris tells lies – ignore them, and if you want to know, come ask me."
"That's what I did, Pack Leader."
"Yes, you did. You're a good dog."
Dixie ran outside to play and bark at squirrels other creatures, and cars.
