Friendship Spurned

Through my father, I came to love Staffordshire Bull Terriers. The only other breeds he ever owned were Bull Terriers and a lone Boxer. The Boxer, a female, was harmless and friendly.

Her size made her appear as fierce as the tougher dogs my father preferred, however. This our local milkman found out one day.

Our Boxer, in the mood for play, went lolloping after him and he went into full retreat, throwing milk bottles at her in terror as he ran. I was too young at the time to know that I should not find the sight immensely funny.



Word count: 100
For Drabble Activity 2024, Week 7
Prompt: A non-fiction work. Essay, memoir, op-ed: creative nonfiction (not just a regurgitation of facts).
