Hicpups

Today, Angel had the hiccups. She was sitting in the yard, whole body jerking, looking at me in a plea of help. So, I smiled at her and said, “Do you have the hiccups? I can help with that.” And the moment she turned her back on me, I jumped up in the air with a yowl and screamed, “Boooo!” Angel lifted off the ground, her whole body twisting in the air to face her unknown attacker. And when she came down, her hiccups were gone. Of course, a few seconds later, she had to take a poop, so I guess I scared the hiccups and the poop out of Angel today. I think that was the dog equivalent of “I need to check my shorts now.”
