Skouskie Rescues Uncle Ben

I was on the porch today. Skouskie was whining, as usual, from inside her apartment. She wants to come outside all the time. She cannot come out on her own. She has to wait until her Jolie comes home. I ignore her. Always the same, "I wan't to come out, I want to come out, let me out." Doesn't she know I don't have a key? Dogs.

Just then her Jolie came home. Skouskie ran for the door. She pushed past her Jolie. "Skouskie!" Then she ran right past me and around the corner. Her Jolie and I went after her. Where is she going? She ran up to her Uncle Ben's door. She yelled and whined. Her paws were up on the door, scratching. Her Jolie was scared. She said, "Skouskie, what is wrong?" Her Jolie pushed the door open.

Uncle Ben was trapped underneath a pillow! It was killing him! Skouskie bit that pillow. She dragged it to the floor. She struggled with it. The pillow fought back. It tried to push Skouskie down and cover her snout. But Skouskie bit it hard, right on the end. Skouskie growled and shook the end of the pillow. She wouldn't let go. The pillow stopped struggling. Skou's Jolie was shaking Uncle Ben like he was a pillow. "Ben! Breathe, Ben, breathe!" Skou let go of the pillow. She jumped up on the couch next to Uncle Ben. She put her snout over Uncle Ben's mouth. Her Jolie jumped back saying, "Skouskie!" But Skouskie knew just what to do. Skouskie blew her smelly dog breath into Uncle Ben's mouth. It was so stinky, Uncle Ben started coughing. He breathed in deep on his own and coughed again.

Uncle Ben looked at Skouskie. Skouskie was still blowing her smelly dog breath hard in his face. He coughed again and said, "Thank you, Skouskie."

Skouskie is alright, I guess.
