For whatever reason Molly has been in a brawling mood lately. I don't know if it is because she turns 9 years old on Friday or what but she has been awful ornery here for the past week or so.
During our power outage the other night, I decided to go old school for my entertainment. I put Molly in her lot, dragged out a Citronella candle to keep the bugs at bay, set up my lawn chair, grabbed me a book, and I was ready to wait out Duke Energy. I couldn't completely give up my electronic devices so I made a few phone calls on my cell (one was to Duke Energy) and I went back into the house to grab a drink. I discovered the power was back on so I went back outside to retrieve Molly.
The scene that greeted me was right out of Friday night at the fights. Molly was squared off against a firefly and she also decided to go old school. She brought back Muhammad Ali's old "Rope-A-Dope" defensive boxing strategy from the opening bell and was dodging, bobbing, and weaving like her life depended on it. The firefly was hovering in front of her and everytime Molly would make a move, it would light up and chase Molly back into her corner. Molly finally went with Fred G. Sanford's "Five Across The Lips" offense and knocked it out of the air with one quick but deadly swipe of her paw. That was when I opened the cage door and stopped the fight with a ten count. Molly retained her championship belt and is still the Josiah Lane title holder.
