(Based on a true story)
It was a seemingly long and uneventful night in Basseterre St. Kitts. The crickets chirped, the fan blew, and the dreams were sweet. The puppies, Z and Neeko, were fed, walked, played with, and were given a rare privilege to spend the night in the house. Actually, they were granted this privilege the previous night and were so well behaved, the owner, who wishes to remain anonymous for now, had decided to extend them some more gratitude.
He said they expressed such elation to be in his presence that night when he asked them to come inside the house. He also made sure he provided them with toys to keep them entertained throughout the night, along with food and water. That should have been enough to keep them occupied but Z and Neeko seemed to have had other plans.
He woke up to a slight sound of something dropping. It couldnt have been Z, as he lay peaceful beside the bed. A further walk into the hallway confirmed a hunch; Neeko had tampered with something she was not supposed to. She shamelessly lead the owner into the legion of utter confusion and mayhem. “It was a sight to behold” he exclaimed.
Shoes bitten up; Suitcases ripped open; Papers ripped; Mints stolen; Pistachio bags all burst and scattered everywhere; Belts chewed up; And to make matters worse, one of them decided to leave a sample of dog lemonade on the kitchen floor. As the owner let out a sigh, Neeko decided to brazenly pick up a shoe in her mouth and walk away with it, and that’s the straw that broke the doggies back. WHOOP! BRAP! WHOOP! The licks ensued. Neeko, with her rude self, refused to show remorse, nor did she let out any whimpers of distress. Z, upon seeing what was going on, dashed away to hide.
Although he was not caught red handed, his admitted sign of guilt was enough to be charged as a worthy accomplice in the strain of destruction. As big as he might appear to be, he actually is afraid of any form of verbal or physical chastisement. Upon his sumon, he nervously produced 2 ounces of dog lemonade on the floor, which earned him some additional licks. Please note that even though dogs like to “lick” people with their tongues, the “licks” in this context bears absolutely NO reference to any tongue licking.
We caught up with the notorious pair for this exclusive interview:
Interviewer: Sorry to hear about what happened to you and your brother Z. How are you doing now?
Neeko: I’m fine, as I am always
Interviewer: Good to hear. Z? How about you?
Z: (yawwwwn.....) When is lunch?
Interviewer: Ummm....ok...Anyway, what possessed you to do what you did?
Neeko: Hm. Our master has some issues. Remember the storm that became hurricane sandy?
Interviewer: Yes. I remember it hit us pretty bad.
Neeko: Yea. He came home from church that morning and brought us in the house, forgot to leave food and water for us ok?!?
Interviewer: Oh dear...so what happened?
Neeko: You leave 2 5-old puppies in a house, during a storm, without food, for about 8 hours straight. What do you expect to happen silly? We tore up the place of course. Yea! We tore it all up. We made lots of lemonade also. We found where he keeps all his tissue, dragged the bags to the living room, and shredded it all up. And we went to his room with his shoes and clothes, and played bite and seek there for a while and when we got bored, we made more lemonade, and fell asleep eventually.
Interviewer: Oh dear. You must have gotten punished pretty badly.
Z & Neeko: Nopes....
Neeko: We overheard him talking to his friends, and he said he didnt punish us because it was his fault to have left us there for so long, even though it really wasnt his intention, as he got stuck in the storm.
Interviewer: Ohh...ok. So I guess you expected to get away with it again right?
Neeko: You betcha! Although we’ve been blessed with the ability to speak, we are still dogs, and act based on instinct.
Interviewer: Actually, yea. I found that strange that you both can talk but we’ll leave that for another interview. So yea. You think he should have punished you the first time?
Neeko: Well, yes of course. That way, at least we would have known not to do it again.
Interviewer: Z, what do you think?
Z: Is lunch ready yet?
Interviewer: Umm...ok....So Neeko, have you learned your lesson?
Neeko: Yes. I learned that if I am left alone again in the house and if I happen to tear up the room again, I need to run like the wind as soon as our bonehead master opens the door.
Z: Yea. Whatever she said.
Interviewer: Umm...I dont think that is quite going to help you in the future but whatever floats your boat missy!
Neeko: Yup! Thanks. Z, come, lets go and chase some lizards.
Z: WOOF! WOOF!
