Animal Smackdown At My House

Casey filled me in on possibly one of the funniest stories about our pets EVER this morning. Casey lets the dogs out every morning. Since both Bear and Fergie go out on leash, he takes each one separately to save time. Fergie's outing went without incident. It was Bear's trip out, when the weirdness began. Everything was proceeding normally. You know, Bear trotting along doing the hike and pee thing. Phoebe, one of the three kittens (who is now a 1 1/2)always loves to taunt the dogs while they are out. She loves to play. Most times you can hear her actually galloping through the yard to jump on one of the dogs! Bear stopped to mill around the big maple tree in our front yard and was busy sniffing the hastas. That's when Casey noticed the oncoming attack. He saw Phoebe coming from across the yard. She was at full gallop. Then, she performed a move from what Casey described as Friday Night Smackdown wrestling or something from a Jackie Chan movie. She flew across the yard, jumped, took two strides off the tree for velocity, and slammed with her side into Bear. Casey said he'd never seen a cat do anything THAT strange in his whole life. Not to mention, he was laughing so hard he could barely breathe. Poor Bear was just standing there looking utterly bewildered as to what just happened. He was completely caught off guard. Afterwards, Phoebe was just trotting, proudly, through the yard. It sounds like it was hysterical. I just wish that I could have seen it too!
