MARGO AND DAVID

Margo was a real beauty, a pedigreed boxer with a loving and affectionate disposition and gentle enough to put up with the shenanigans of a houseful of kids even the one kid who was a little mixed up because he thought he should bite the dog instead of the other way around. Now this little kid did grow up to be a pretty intelligent person so that goes to show that you can't judge how a person is going to turn out if they bite dogs. But back to the heroine of this story Margo.......David was constantly biting Margo's legs. His little teeth were sharp and Margo would yelp and jump away but David was persistent and besides she must have been tasty. One day, Margo just had enough. We heard David crying his little heart out. We rushed to the living room and found Margo gently but firmly sitting on the side of his head. Yup, she was sitting on his head. That was the only way she could keep him from biting her legs. We all laughed so hard we almost cried. Now this dog was so fiercely devoted to us kids that she would do anything to protect us. Dad was rough housing with Vickie on the couch and turned him over his knee as if to spank him. He no sooner got his hand raised in the air than Margo had her jaws fastened over his face. She came up off the floor so fast that she was a blur. She held Dad for a split second until Mom yelled at her and then she got down. Mom wanted to discipline her but Dad wasn't having it. He actually praised her for protecting Vickie. While Mom was furious but Dad told Mom that was exactly what he would want her to do if any of his kids were threatened.
