The Maltese Terror

“Go on and put your pup down. They’ll be all right. Chey wouldn’t hurt a baby rabbit. She prob’ly thinks that dog of yours is a funny kind of lamb. I’ve got a few sheep along with my cattle, and she believes they’re her special charges.”


Nick eased Cedric to the floor. The small dog began to dance in circles around the bigger one. Finally Cheyenne stood and shook herself. Then, using her nose, she steered Cedric to her special place behind the stove. Nick could almost hear her saying, “Come on, kid, this is where the dogs hang out here. See, it’s nice and cozy.”


Apparently Cedric agreed it was a good place. Within minutes he was asleep, curled into a ball between Cheyenne’s extended forelegs. She rested her muzzle on her right leg and dozed off, too.
