the hard luck ballad of bobby, lucy and lucy's now locked up owner

A few weeks ago, Bobby, my new little dog, got in a fight with Lucy, a great big pit bull. I had Bobby tied up to a bike rack outside a meeting I go to, and Lucy was tied to the same bike rack. They seemed to be getting along fine, but after a while, Bobby was trying to get it on with Lucy, even though he is fixed. Lucy took offense to this sexual assault, and attacked Bobby. I had to break them up. Apparently Bobby wasn't expecting any rough sex. He was covered in blood and wanting to avoid any more violence, he went whimpering back to the car. Lucy's owner felt terrible, but I assured him that it was a good lesson for Bobby.

This morning, I am watching the news, and who do I see? There is Lucy's owner in an orange jail jump suit. Apparently last night he had gotten drunk and gotten in a fight with Lucy. Lucy bit him across the chin, so being drunk he wanted to retaliate. He grabbed a hammer, and tried to hit Lucy with it. Accidentally he ended up hitting his best friend in the face. Pit Bulls are usually nice, but can be overly aggressive. Lucy's owner wants to find him a new home because it looks like he will be in jail for awhile.
