"I think you've made a new friend, Myx."
"Don't make any sudden moves, Dave."
"Maddie's just playful. She wouldn't hurt a fly," I said.
"Flies I'm not worried about--it's that slobbering tongue ...."
Myx was getting acquainted with Maddie, my friend Janee's dog. She was a black lab that was a bundle of kind energy. She would go "goonie"--run, roll, and prance happily--at the slightest provocation. Right now she was behaving nicely, but provocation was always just around the corner. And, a trouncing for MIRACLE MYX surely was in that same location.
"Just hold still, Myx--and keep your voice down," I said.
"You think Maddie can hear me?"
"You don't want to test it out, do you?"
"Good point," Myx whispered.
