The tragic fact is Gwendolyn never lets Dag close enough to pet it. Us three are in this junked out lot that used to be a grocery and Gwendolyns hiding between a broke Big Wheel and a busted drum from like a drum kit. Dag whips out a bag a Nacho Cheese Pretzel Combos. Right away I start bugging. Combos? You serious? I woulda ate the crap outta those Combos! Combos are ideal for breakfast cuz it has pretzel, which is mostly the same as toast, and also cheese. Cheese is straight up health food.

But Dags not thinking about me. She steps real quiet and pours the bag out by the manhole. Then she backs up till Gwendolyn drags her ass out and gives it a sniff. Of course the dog decides to eat my Combos but she keeps her red eyes on Dag the whole while like shorty might shank her. The whole things dumb. Dags about to cry with emotion and Midgets holding on to my leg super tight cuz she takes after whatever Dag do. Its like all a us are watching the miracle of life or some sharkweek when all any a us are doing is watching a scabby ass mongrel snarf up my dang breakfast.

Gwendolyns busy licking the cement so Dag takes a big breath and edges close like always. Look, Ill be straight with you. Mostly I want that dog to chill. Dags been trying to pet that bitch two years now and if she really wants to put her hands on some filthy ass fur thats her personal business. Same time, though, the look on Dags face, it bothers me, yo. It does. She looks like shes in love with the stupid animal. It probably has a billion fleas and diseases. Dags got a few problems like sister Lotte being in a nuthouse but shes from Pinebluff Glenn Estates and should know better. Its like with Deformo. Even if Dag dont care about herself one bit, Midget needs protecting. Midgets a small ass child that already gets sick all the time and medicine is mad expensive, just ask Moms.

The whole situation gets me feeling a itch so I end up busting out my eight point shuriken. I wipe away my infected eye crust so I can see good and get my stance proper so I can throw real accurate and Dag gasps like Ive gone insane. Right before I throw she does like a girl and goes <No! Jody, no! Jody, dont!> Whys she got to embarrass me like that? I throw my shuriken anyway and it zings off the curb next to Gwendolyn. Scares that animal serious. Bitch runs.
