All this mess going on as Alex was shopping for garden tools at the hardware store. I grabbed Benny from off the kind man's arm. "I'm so sorry he is territorial you know and he didn't know your scent."
The man's arm was bleeding and I reached for a towel I just purchased to stop the bleeding. I wrapped his arm as tenderly as any R.N. know's how. Yet looking into his eyes I felt as if Benny just bit Lucifer himself.
"Hey what's going on over h-e-r-e..... Oh my Benny you've done it now. I'm sorry my pet did this I will pay for any damages or medical expense, said Alex. Dear how did this come to happen?"
"Oh dear this nice man offered to help pick up the groceries when a bag split. Well he put some things in the car and Benny pounced!"
The man's face darkened, "Tonight Alex will find payment for my humility, as you woman will find a change in the household. Tonight, both of you will remember me and fear my wrath!"
Towel in had he walked down the parking lot row and out of sight.
Driving home Alex was all over me with questions, while benny licked the back of Alex's neck. Groceries unpacked we sat down to dinner.
