ranger danger


For those of you wondering who ranger is..well its obvious you dont know me well enough..Ranger...my goofy labrador...is about 12 years old now ..and before we adopted him he was actually named Danger. Just like every true parent, mum didn't want to sabotage her son's future with a name like that..hence we referred to him as Ranger..hoping he would respond.. Now there's no looking back..
Anyways just so you guys dont think hes some macho dog..here goes...mum usually wakes up really early..and ranger wakes up at about the same time...mum wakes up and opens my room (i was away in hyderabad) only to find the neighbours cat sleeping on my bed!!! Talk about taking ownership over ur surroundings. Anyways mum was pretty shocked to see the cat...but all the cat did was raise its head and simply acknowledged her presence...Ranger hadn't noticed the cat and was lying down next to the refrigerator..,.anyways the cat stretches...cranes her neck..and then decides that it was time for her to leave...all the while poor mum waiting and wondering when this unexpected guest would leave... the cat jumps off the bed...simply trots in front of mum..not displayin one percent of agility expected from normal cats...mum was worried that ranger might wake up seein the cat...and bark bringing the roof down..while barking under normal circumstances would be ok..this was 5 am..half the world was asleep...the cat simply continues to trot, stretch and trot again..ranger wakes up...surprise in his eyes that a cat was coming out of my room....all mum could do was dumbly stare...wat one would expect in such a situation would be chaos, noise, chase,,something like that..well whaddya think ranger did :)...welll he sprang up to his feet, ran for his life,...and hid behind mum and quietly watched the cat...his eyes filled with terror...mum had to control herself till the cat FINALLY left..and then burst out laughing...
Ranger...definitely Danger :)
