Celebrate The Unexpected Heroes

---

This husband of mine…

Tells a story…years and years and years ago…Little Man…and family…lived in a country house in Texas…when a ruckus is heard outside…heading to the yard…Papo holding a table lamp for light…they come face to face…with a six foot…rattlesnake…

The same snake…having just bit Buddy the German shepherd…on the snout…Papo…holding the light…wards the critter off with a stick…with one step…the plug pulls from the outlet…engulfing them…in complete Texas darkness…silence ensues…all…but the chchchchch…of the rattle…

Don’t move…Little Man is told…time seemed to stand still…says that story teller of mine…while we waited…for that snake…to strike…but on came the light…and what to their wondering eyes should they see…Tom…Tom the Cat…poised for attack…between snake…and his…beloved…family…

And so it is…this old gal…having heard this story many times…shakes her head…at Mr. Curious George…as he tosses rocks into caves…pokes sticks…into holes…

Cuz it’s not every day…you have a Hero Cat…waiting…to save…the day…
​
And this husband of mine…should know better…and agree…
