G R U D G E
G R U D G E — A word that sometimes says it all. And it's one of those words you can grab on to because it can have texture and bite. Kind of like Todd.
Last evening I accidentally stepped on Todd's foot. Kingston was right next to me, and Todd immediately started nipping at his face. I scolded him, and put him outside to let him settle down. A few minutes later, I let Todd back in. But he was a dog with a grudge. Because when he saw Kingston he went after him again. Poor Kingston. He had no idea what he'd done.
Today all is forgiven. But I think I need to say "thank-you Kingston for taking the blame for me."

Poor Kingston!! And he is so good natured, I bet he didn't even fight back. Hopefully Todd has "forgiven" Kingston!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, sometimes they don't see what really happened, and I, for one, don't speak 'Dog' to explain. Hope they are fine now.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Kingston just thought he was doing you a favor, which probably meant more to him than Todd's little dust up. I loved your story though. It reminds us to always have our friend's back.
ReplyDeleteC'mon, Todd - give it up. Kingston is a nice boy. We won't tell you who really stepped on your foot:)

Todd time to let it go and settle down now be a good boy for your family . Miggs says so WOOF !
ReplyDeletePoor Kingston. Hopefully Todd will forgive him soon.
ReplyDeleteHe is smiling again so all must be forgiven.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear all is well!
ReplyDeleteWhy does everything always get blamed on the bird and/or dog?
ReplyDeleteNaughty boy Todd !
ReplyDeletePoor Kingston, he's such a beautiful boy and I could not imagine him having one spiteful bone in his body. I hope he got extra treats and fuss.
Oh Todd! But he can forgive anything ❤️
ReplyDeleteHow human like.
ReplyDeleteOh Todd - maybe he didn't want to bite the hand that feeds him so he took it out on Kingston:)
ReplyDeleteHello, poor sweet Kingston. He is a trooper and Todd is naughty. I all glad all was forgiven. Happy Friday, have a great day and weekend!
ReplyDeletei'm thinking that little alpha dog has a napoleon complex! LOL.
ReplyDeletehow could ANYBODY be mad or hold a grudge for that beautiful smiling Kingston face for very long?
he's already proven that he is a true gentleman for sure!

Our beagle Cricket was like that with her golden sister Sheba (now passed). No matter who did what to her she would blame her sister and go after her! The rest of the time they were best buddies. Dogs can be tough to figure out sometimes!

Those terriers do hold on to things a bit longer, don't they? Glad everything is back to normal.
ReplyDeleteKingston reminds me of the older yellow lab who we adopted years ago. I miss him. I'm glad that all is forgiven by Todd now!
ReplyDeleteTodd had some "attitude" . . .
ReplyDeleteHeld on tight to that grudge . . .
Happy all is well now!
By now, hope Todd has forgiven him!
ReplyDeleteYou owe Kingston a nice treat. I wasn't so lucky. I accidentally stepped on Noah's foot and received a bite to the ankle. I'm more careful now.
