Our friend, Tartok over at the Herd Annex asked Loki for a little help in squaring a beef with his sister Ruby, who’s been gangin’ up on him. (Let’s all hear a collective, “Awe!”) Loki has a bit of experience with a bossy Siberian dame so he happily stepped up. Here are a few of Loki’s best tips on How to Chill a Hot Dog.
Tip #1: Always be prepared for the opponent to pounce.
“Hey Daddy-O. It’s git down time!”
Tip #2: Deal out the pre-emptive bite, err, strike.
“Listen sister, you’d better watch how you run your mouth because I have a set of choppers right here, ready to do some collateral damage.”
Tip #3: Ignore opponent’s sass.
“Spare me the hot air tough-guy. You’re just a Schmo from Kokomo.”
Tip #4: Fake her out with the belly-up defense.
“Darlin’, now that you’ve laid me out, when you gonna bury me?”
Tip # 5: When the going gets tough, the tough get cracked-out.
“Hey cupcake, you’re one step closer to a trip to the croaker!”
The Cracked-Out move is important so lets examine it closely. Notice it is also coupled with sass.
Tip # 6: When all else fails, hightail it and run!

“Pull into the curb, Daddy-O before your dreamboat becomes a battleship.”
“Cupcake, this bird’s gonna pull his freight!”

I saw that post this morning and I think you’ve done a wonderful community service, Loki!
Twinkie says:
WOW, now I know to always come to you for help! That was an excellent response to the Herd’s post which was equally funny. BOL
What’s that I hear about Louie, Loki? You are being compared to a Chi now? tsk tsk tsk
Twink!

Teehee. I’m not sure which one of us is going to benefit more from this, but Abby and I will study the moves closely – I personally like the bitey-butt shot at the end (one of my favorite moves…).

Sagira says:
Wow, what a great lesson! Will have to keep that in mind with my bossy Weimaraner sister.
Frankie Furter says:
Alrighty then!
Lola says:
Well, you go, Loki. But that cracked out move is just a little too impressive, maybe.
wags, Lola
D. K. Wall & The Thundering Herd says:
Tartok says, uh, thanks for the wonderful advice, Loki. I had the turn tail and run thing down already.
Dana says:
Very impressive Loki! Don’t let the fact that the sibe dame does not look overly worried about your ferocity take anything away from you! You are a force to be reckoned with for sure.

I’m going to print out the cracked up dog look and hang it in my crate so I can study it all day. I need to learn some good moves to deal with Kat.

Loki! That face just looks dorky when it comes after being totally beat up by a girl. She was laughing at you the whole time.
