I skeered my boy! :(

I was walking into the computer room this evening, and Licky was
standing in the doorway, waiting for me to come in so he could get
petted (this room is his favorite place for that). I was moving at
a fast clip, and he suddenly darted toward me, and we had a little
collision in the doorway, which banged against him kind of hard. He
shot off out of sight, and didn't come out from behind the big recliner
(one of his favorite hiding places) for about 15 minutes. And when
he did, he just sat there staring at me like he was sure I was the
#1 public menace.

And nothing could convince him to relax, not all the syrupy apologies
and coo-cooing in the world! My poor scaredy-cat!

Christina Websell...

KFC says how dare you upset her beloved Licky? She's rising herself up to
slap the face of anyone who dares with all claws out.

But I guess all is forgiven - he's now lying in my arms, purring full
blast. He's not only a scaredy-cat, he apparently has a very short
memory.

Rhonda...

Joyce, he's got other plans. He's going to milk this for all it's worth!
He will give you big eyes and a beggy, sad face for days until you pet
him for a few hours each time.

Ha! And you should hear his piteous meow, when he wants attention!

You might as well cancel all other commitments for awhile... :)

You mean like my job? Oh, what a shame. :)

John F. Eldredge...

I used to work for a small company which had a cocker-spaniel mix,
Dixie, as the company mascot. She was not the bravest dog in the
world. On one occasion, I rounded a hallway corner too fast and
startled Dixie; for the rest of the day, she would bark at me whenever
she saw me. By the next morning, however, she had gone back to being
friendly.

Sam...

is truly forgiven.

Randy...

Sounds like Smokey, he too is a scaredy-cat. They easily forgive as long as
they get the better end of the deal. ;-)

Outsider...

I think you've been played. Now Licky gets special treatment for the near
future.

Adrian A...

Poor baby. ;-)
