Dead Dog Drizzle 25/11/09

One week after the humiliating loss to their most hated rivals, the Dog looked to change their fortunes and so without consulting the selectors, DDD Jr axed the 2 dead weight bowlers from the previous week, and in slotted GG (Granny Glenda) and Davy Mac. Back from a stint in the Bahamas, Davy Mac, was sporting some dreadlocks and smelt of a possibly illicit substance. With the side looking stronger, DDD Jr thought they would have a good showing, but after 3 ends the dog could not buy a bowl within a Bahama Shlong of the kitty. (incidently its illegal to have a Bahama Shlong within 2 miles of any feline) DDD Jr had some close calls but the opposition Skip was his match. Enter the 4 end. As was the custom the opposition gave the Dogs the Mat and GG layed down a good length end that showed promise, then with 2 bowls bracketing the kitty within 1 foot, and had the dogs looking strong. Davy Mac, added to this total with a well placed back marker but a more important 3 bowl. After DDD Sr had finished, the not so worthy foes could do nothing but wander how their lead had been decimated in 1 end. 4-4 after 4 and the dogs could feel their lucky spot getting itchy. The lightest spinkle of rain began to fall and the dogs decided they would try and take the lead into the 6th hoping for a rain out. The 5th started and after 1 and 2 had gone, the dogs looked in disarray, they had nothing close and worst of all they were down 4 and DDD Sr was up. His first bowl was promising, looking to nestle into the bunch of their foes bowls on the back hand but too firm a grip, and he sailed wide and a touch long. The adjustment was ordered, and DDD Sr saw fit to listen to his Skip, but instead of bowling with less weight, he scratched is 'Bowls' and then put his next shot on rink 17 (we were rink 16) So once again, as has become a common theme for the dog, DDD Jr, with the weight of a million universes and maybe even a diluded bowls career of his own on his soulders, had to do the impossible. Reminisent of the night he first consumated his relationship with Ace von Bertouch, DDD Jr had to squeeze an unlikely sized bowl through a tight gap, that might just hurt someones feelings, but sqeeze he did. DDD Jr found a hole where possibly there was none and with a flacid flop lay his big black bowl down next to the goal...... Dogs claim 1. This was the end for the opponent, the dogs full of fight the 6th end was a rout and 3 shots soon saw the dogs look the goods for the evening. But last week held firm in the mind of the dog, and while up after 6 they went down in 12, which was not to happy thought and one which motivated the Dog to make sure they claimed the victory. Pitter Patter and the heavens opened, down came the rain and the wet but happy dog slunk into the clubhouse, happy with the win, but more so that they could come home early and write the report.
