You can't really see it here, but poor Mannie was SAVAGED by a terrible, fearsome, fangy, 8-inch long puppy. He was cuddling Shadow, the new baby belonging to our friends Brad and Kristie, when it decided that it would attach itself to his snozzer. It was like a baby crocodile, and no amount of screaming, slapping, pencils in the ear, fingers up the bum, Steve Irwin 'Crikeys!' or even wailing like an utter red-haired stepchild would help. He flailed around the house, knocking over vases, bookshelves, small crystal duck ornaments, the plasma TV, the rare Brett Whitely prints....Shadow clamped on his face like a heavy brown sock. Eventually the vicious, furry, cute-yet-deadly creature released him, and Mannie fell to the ground, writhing, hands to his ruined face, blood almost spurting from the incredible 3 millimeter graze on his nose. It took us a long time to coax him out of the corner he dragged himself into, whimpering and trembling with fear, hackles up. Shadow merely wandered off, licking her chops.
