Goober...
I wanted to get this posted before I have trouble remembering what happened.
I'm sick today, thus I'm "working from home" from my bed. I'm trying to take it easy and the doorbell rings around 9:30 or so. I stumble down the stairs and am careful about opening up the door so that Goober doesn't get out. There's 2 Jehovah Witnesses there.. One is an older woman, probably in her late 60's or early 70's. The other is maybe in her late 30's and is obviously from a different country from the little I heard from her accent. The older woman asks me a few questions about what I would like to change with the world and I tell her that I'm currently working and sick and need to get back up to bed. She asks a few more questions about what my name is and do I work at home. She hands me a pamplet and I turn to go back into the house...mind you, I'm sick and not fully cognitive of everything going on.
I open the door a little wider than my body (normally I squeeze through because I know Goob's on the other side) and thus Goober bolts out the door towards the second Jehovah's Witness. As is normal for our jumping bean of a dog, she starts jumping next to her, but as far as I can tell, doesn't actually jump on her. Buttercup then darts over to the older woman and does the same. The younger woman lets out a Xena yell, squishes her eyes together and tenses up. Arg! She's afraid of dogs.. Of course, by doing this, Goober thinks she's playing, so she darts back over to the woman and continues to jumping next to her. Buttercup then starts darting back and forth between the two ladies (with the younger still yelling like Xena). The older woman says to the younger on, "Calm down...everything will go ok... Calm down." My door is standing wide open at this point, and so the older woman starts to inch towards it trying to lure Goober back into the house. Goober at one point runs underneith her skirt causing her to say, "She's under my skirt!". I finally am able to catch Buttercup close to the older woman and drag her back into the house while I'm apologizing to the two women. Of course, Buttercup is like a total angel inside acting like she didn't do anything..
