Vacula the Vicious
Chapt. 3
I tried to hide my face. My tail was tucked in tight. Every muscle in my body was tight when I heard the struggle begin. Mom was saying those words that she always says when she is doing battle with Vacula. They are very powerful words even though they don’t have very many letters in them. They are words that I am never allowed to use. I think that’s because they are only for very much bad occasions. Vacula is trying to drown her out with his ghastly sounds.
As horrible as this is, I know it is about to get worse. Vacula is always able to get the upper claw on mom, at least for a while. I know that any moment now, he is going to make a break for it. He wants to come up here and get behind my ‘cliner and GET ME. My heart is hammering. Deep in my little chest it is saying, “COMING, COMING, COMING.”
They are on the landing. I think they must have declared a cease struggle. It’s the calm before the war continues. Mom grabs Vacula’s leash. She tries to keep him tied up so he can’t get away from her, and AT me. It never works like it should though. Instead of doing what she does with MY leash, she just sticks the end into that thing in the wall. I want to howl at her, “That never works. You need to tie it to something really big and heavy. That is what you do when you don’t want me to move away. Tie it, mom. Tie it short. Tie it TIGHT.”, but I’m too afraid to whine, let alone howl. It’s the exact same thing every few days. Vacula is not only mean and vicious, he’s STRONG. He’s going to pull that thing out. He always does. Danger and fear are about to drive me to run from the room like the HOUNDS OF HELL are nipping at my tail.

OMD we shudder with fear. Will you get away in time? Will Vacula suck up all you furs? Oh the nightmare continues. How will I sleep tonight?
Have a fabulous Friday.
Best wishes Molly
its all in the timing little dud - when it just right we bet you will make a run from it at the very last second - escaping the rollers of doom......gosh we can't wait to see what happens next. We are so lucky - we only have one big rug that vacula tried to eat...but that is enough
Oh my goodness I wonder if an exterminator would get rid of Vac-ula

WEll Frankie I have decided that Vacula the two tongued devil might just be related to the evil yellow dust of the devil that is about to cover my world. The good news is thus far Vacula has not tried to eat you deer antlers.
Hugs madi your bfff
Oh please tell us this ends with vacula being sent to the garage.
We hope you can get away from him.

I agree. Vacula needs a chain what's fixed on the floor. It's a scary guy, he eats all crumbs and dog hairs and I bet he would eat the whole dog too.
Not to worry so much, Frankie, Your Mom will ALWAYS win over Vacula.

They are so beautiful this years and I have about 40 of them!!
Love this time of year-- without the bad storms but feel so bad when I watch TV and see the damage the bad storms do. I cam remember too when we have had a few!!
These are great scary stories! Cam and I are going to build a fort in the bedroom and read them to Maggie at bedtime!
Play bows,
Zim
Now the only bad thing going on here is that your mom isn't making this into a book. Seriously, this would be a great book, told from a doggie point of view.

OMD! Our Vacula is scary, but it's nothin' like that. We just run outside anyway. So we've never been able to see 'zactly what happens.
In our house the 'cliner is too hard to move, so you might be safe there with the dust bunnies.

Oh gosh, I think I might have to come back later when that evil vacula has been put back in his cage! HELP!

Oh My Dawg. If this doesn't have a happy ending, we're saving our treat money for a ticket to your place and we're going to kick some Vacula butt. Mr Frankie, the vacula CANNOT get behind couches. We know, cause ours NEVER goes behind ours, so don't worry. Remember, NO WORRIES!
S T E L L AAAAAAA! Get out the money box right now.
No worries, and slobber, Rory and Stella
OMD...we know all about tucking our tails in tight when we're scared...
