Yes, indeed Dizzy did have a bad time of it this week, first with the marauding recliner grabbing him, and holding him hostage, and then he had to sweat and groan about his big furry kitty coat, in the heat...
He would have been even more upset if our original plans for the weekend held out...we were going to go up to Seattle to see the son, and attend a beer festival...we would have left on Saturday, and returned on Monday...
But the son was not going to be in Seattle, and we decided it was too expensive to spend the whole weekend up in Seattle just for a beer festival, if we were not able to see the son...
The son will actually be here, down in Olympia, over the weekend...he just bought a motor boat, and has a bbq planned with the girlie friend, and then some kayaking...so in between all his activities, we hope he will have time to stop in and say Howdy....These young folks, always on the go...of course, we the parents, are down far on his list of things to do and see...seems like motor boating, kayaking, girl friend and bbq are more important...as well they should be...
Besides, last weekend, the hubby went up to Seattle, to spend a sports Sunday with the son, so perhaps that will have to do for his fathers day weekend...
So at least for this weekend, Dizzy can breath easy, because his mommy and daddy will be with him, instead of leaving him all alone for a few days...
It didn't bother him that he was on fire, no.. not at all. He was too busy running towards the cause of the flames to worry much about coiffe and fashion. That, and the thing that belched flame at him really truly annoyed him that much.
Other than that, Karsh was having a wonderful day.
"Heerooooonk!" the flame spouting, slime covered thing fairly made the ground shake with it's bellow of angered surprise that it's opponent wasn't stopping. Someone was shouting behind Karsh, but he didn't make it out.. something about a foot?
Boom The lizard-like foot slammed down on him, pinning him under a mass of slimed scales and lizard stench. He had his hands free at least, so he did a little trickery. He poked the creature in it's ugly backside with his sword and was rewarded with it's enraged screech of pain. Whatever it was decided to move away from whatever had poked it, it's simple brain thinking it was up against one of it's own. So when it spun about to face it's attacker, it's brain registered confusion at coming face to face with Karsh Kentu and his now dimly glowing sword.
"You are the ugliest creature I have ever seen this side of the border swamps." He waved his other hand before his face as featid creature breath steamed through lizard nostrils at him. The creature blinked, then realized who and what it was seeing. Karsh acted before it's brain came out of it's logjam...
