Brown vs Motorbikes

I love my Brown Dog, he really is great.... except when he's not so great.  I also love motorbikes, they are really great.... except when they're not so great.

You see, Brown Dogs and motorbikes don't go well together. Especially when Brown Dog gets hit by a motorbike.

This is what happened....


On February 7th at approximately 11pm (I don't know the exact time because I was fast asleep in bed) I heard my phone ring.  It sounded kind of like this... Ring ring ring, Ring ring ring, Ring ring ring.... When I heard the first Ring I woke up.  When I heard the second Ring I stumbled out of bed thinking who on earth is calling me at 11pm at night? Hardly anyone knows my home number, all of my friends call me on my mobile phone.

I was a little bit worried. On the third Ring I managed to pick up the phone and this is what I heard....

"Michelle, it's Lani.  Brown got hit by a motorbike is he ok?"

Lani is a friend who lives around the corner from me.

I was very confused.... because at the same time I was talking to Lani I was also looking at Brown doing a tap dance at the back door waiting to get inside.

I was in a whole state of confusion... confusion of mass proportions.

So then this happened....


I turned on some lights in my house. Then I let Brown inside.  You may recall that Brown slobbers, he slobbers a whole bunch.  But that night Brown was slobbering a whole bunch more than normal, and he was limping.  He had clearly been on an adventure of some kind.

Because I turned lights on in my house my friend Lani around the corner came over to my house. Not a great distance, but it was very late at night. She told me the story of what happened to Brown and the motorbike....

The story of Brown and the Motorbike goes like this....


It was a normal night with rain.  I gave Brown his going to bed snack, sent him to his own house and then went to bed.  At some stage during the evening after I went to bed it began to thunder.  As you may recall Brown and thunder are not friends.

Brown would have done a tap dance at my door to be let in, but I was fast asleep and didn't hear him.  So he decided to go for a wonder to find someone else to comfort him.  As he was crossing the road a motorbike hit him on the back leg.

Thankfully the motorbike rider didn't fall off his bike, because that would have been bad.... a whole bunch of bad. He only clipped Brown on his leg which was why Brown was limping.  After hitting him the motorbike rider and Lani went searching for Brown... he had run away.

But thankfully Brown found his way home, and after a couple of days he came good again... doing normal Brown things.

And that is now why I keep Brown inside every night... so he can't be hit by motorbikes or cars or anything.

I think it was all a bit of a conspiracy theory.... I think it's what he wanted all along!
