There was an old lady who swallowed a fly...I don't know why
"What is wrong with the dog?"
That's all I could say as we were getting Chloe dressed after her bath last night. Maverick was scurrying around the house, every now and then letting out a squeak. Yes, our 100 lb dog squeaks.
Martin went out and checked on him. He was running in circles with his tail between his legs. What the heck? Martin heard it first...then he saw it. A fly. Maverick stopped at the gate at the top of the stairs, looked at Martin and whined. Martin opened the gate, and the dog bolted down the stairs and skidded into the safe haven of his kennel. Yes, our dog is afraid of flies.
Martin tried to swat the fly last night, and we eventually lost track of it (don't you hate that!). This morning, it was back. Martin took shots at it and finally made contact and it fell. So, he opened the window shutter, and saw the fly for a split second when out of no where, Maverick's big blockhead shows up and laps it up like it's the best thing he's eaten in days. Just like that, the fly was gone.
Dogs are gross.
