Which would you druther...

Wednesday is Wink day. I had a bit of a dramatic event with the pets over the weekend. Hoover is unreasonably territorial and has a barking freak attack whenever someone approaches the house.
A young guy was selling security systems door-to-door and made the mistake of coming to mine. Typically people leave the screen door closed when they come to visit but this salesman decided to hold it open while waiting for me to answer the door. He only rang the doorbell so it never crossed my mind that when I opened the house door the screen door would be open as well. Little did the guy know the canine fury coming his way.
Basically, Hoover attacked the guy. Hoover isn't big by any stretch, but like I've mentioned in other posts he has a megaphone loud bark, and he jumped and snapped at the dude. He chased the salesman off the porch, down the stairs, and to the sidewalk. At this point I was able to catch and scoop up the dog. Pissed none the less. On my way walking up the stairs to toss Hoover inside I was attacked from behind on my leg. Wink! All I can figure is all that aggressive action scared Wink and he decided to join in the fight. Too bad he didn't realize it was already over. It was an impressive attack though. Pretty sure my cat could be a sniper or professional ninja. He instantly let go of my leg - or was instantly kicked off, whichever happened first. But the pictures show the damage of his effective guerrilla tactic.
I took these pictures tonight though the bruising showed within just a few hours of when Wink decided my legs were in fact made of mouse soufflé. When I returned to the sales guy to see if he indeed got hurt I found him standing paralyzed on the sidewalk with his arms curled up to his chin and the cat sitting on his toes.

We didn't buy a security system.
