Best Story of the Week…February 18th

Posted on February 18, 2021 by Susannah Bianchi

5:45 a.m.

I’m heading to the Park ambling up East 90th Street, approaching a young woman walking three dogs: a Black Lab, a White Lab and a Chihuahua.

As I’m about to pass, the Chihuahua starts barking at me doing wheelies so I can’t get by.

“Hey Napoleon,” I say to him, and yes it was a he, since his little schlong was hanging out as excited as the rest of him.

“What’s your problem?”

The other two dogs are shaking their heads. “He’s a pain in the ass, we know.”

“Is it my hair?” I ask him. Turns out his name is Francisco, named after some bullfighter. Only on the Upper East Side could this be true.

“It’s 6 o’clock in the morning, Frank, so what do ya want, a beehive?” The little shit’s still barking and now going for my ankle.

I look at the girl and ask, “Does he always do this?” and she replies, “Never,” so now I’m taking it personally.

“Hey, you little roast compoyo (remembered that from a Lucy Show), get outta my way, NOW!!!”

And so, he did, well after his owner finally picked him up.

But I was all set to say…PUT UP YOUR PAWS PAL!

But didn’t have to.

I’ll tell ya.   

The life of athingirl. 🙂

    Haha … first of all, the owner is lying. The Labs know the deal. The little twerp barks at everyone; I know this because I have a twerp that does the same thing … lol!

    He should have picked on someone his own size.

    I started to laugh from the Napoleon on because guess what? That’s what I call all the little whiff-whaffs who try to act so tough! Annoying little ankle-biters…

    I agree that the little rat goes after everyone, not just you. As for the schlong, my oldest daughter had a Mexican hairless when she was a teen. With no hair to cover his manhood, it looked like he was riding a rocket!

    I just love being barked at by an ankle biter. I think the owner was putting you on. I have never met a Chihuahua that didn’t bark its butt off. Thanks for the smiles.

    If he is living with two Labs he needs to be loud and maybe obnoxious just to let everyone know it isn’t necessarily size that counts.😼

    Our first family dog was a Chihuahua and she hated me and my sister. Her favorite person in the house was my old man, which should have told me everything I needed to know.

    I think your reputation as a dog lover has spread through the New York canine community and Francisco was just so excited to actually meet you. That seems the most likely explanation to me. 🙂
