Lessons in Assertiveness

Stranger Things

Dear Dr. Mutt,

Last week when my dad and I were patrolling the fence, we spied this stranger sliding slowly across the road toward our yard. He had beady brown eyes, real long fur and very sharp claws. I barked at him to stop and identify himself, but he ignored me and just kept coming real slow-like. Then my dad barked at him, but he still he kept coming. So we barked together, but this didn't stop him. This made me so mad that I actually climbed the fence and nearly went over the top, but my paw slipped and I fell back down. Then my dad tried to dig under the fence, but he scraped his paws because the ground is so hard. By this time the stranger got real close and stuck his nose through the fence, and my dad put his nose next to the stranger's, and they sniffed for a bit. Then the stranger slowly slid away, climbed the tree on the corner and that was that.

We still don't know who he was. 

Perplexed in Panama

Dear Perplexed,

By the description you give, the stranger sounds like a sloth, nicknamed "Lazy Bear" because of the way he moves. I'm sure you've heard of a bear hug, well, this guy's grip can be excruciatingly painful so you don't want to tangle with him.

You're probably very lucky you didn't make it over the fence.
