Dufus and the Towel Rack

I've really done it now.  I've totally scared and ticked off Rob and Andrea.  It happened this way.

You all know I'm at jury duty.  Been here all day.  Got chosen twice and excused twice.  I've been happily playing on the internet in the interim, so it's not been at all bad. I've had a conversation with my friend Sylvia and a few chats with my Rob.  Its this last one that had me kind of flustered.

We were talking away when I remembered I hadn't fed the dog.  I asked Rob if anyone had done it.  He said he had and that Andrea would feed him this afternoon.  Then he asked me if I had read about the bird in our last chat.  I'd had to log off and run.  I didn't read it and then I got a kind of a hole in the pit of my stomach. 

Here's the gist of it:  I left Dufus on the shelf in the bathroom while I brushed my teeth.  Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him start to climb the towel rack on the door.  I forgot him.  Later, Rob and Andrea couldn't find him.  Thought the dog ate him.  Didn't know how to tell me.  Then Andrea (remember Dufus hates her? ) had to go to the bathroom.  Dufus attacked her!  Scared the pee-wa-diddly right out of her.  She wasn't hurt.  I'm falling all over myself laughing!

I know . . .I'm bad.
