Writer's Workshop - Butch

The last thing your pet destroyed. 

When we decided to get a puppy,

I went through a list of

JR Ward's vampires

for a suitable name.

Scott caught on to the fact that

Wrath, Rhage, Vishious...

were all vampires

and vetoed them.

But Butch....

well Butch was not one Scott ever suspected.

Well....

if you are a WARDen fan,

you know that Butch is also known as

Butch the Destroyer.

I never expected my Butch

to be the destroyer.

But he is.

It began over Christmas.

Even though we arranged for Mary

to feed him and play with him,

he was not happy that we left.

He ate our trampoline.

The netting has been destroyed.

Then he decided he wanted to hang out next door

with the two Jack Russels.

He dug up our garden,

squeezed himself under the fence

and partied with the neighbours,

We put chicken wire under the fence to stop him from digging.

Then...

then...

a couple weeks ago,

I go outside to do the laundry

and feed him.

I step outside and see...

this thing...

I had no clue what it was.

As I got closer,

I noticed underneath all the dirt,

a bright green colour.

My bra!!!!!

The dog ate my bra!

Correction,

half my bra!

There, 

sitting on my lawn

is one half of my favourite

and only

green bra!!!!

A week later,

the other half showed up!
