Why my dog's ears are so long

- See what happened?… My friend, Coco, shouted. Ilve always told you, do not let the dog alone with the cat, but once again, you did not listen to me!

-But I didnlt let them sit together; when I left for work, they were each sitting in their places, but ... Spotted was in the kennel in the center of the courtyard, each day and night. Only in the winter he is allowed to stay in the hall next to the kitchen, in a basket with a mattress. 

Try to imagine, itls pouring outside, itls cold, and the brown cat with black ears and blue eyes comes from the backyard, and passes pawing the stones, to see whether it is worth touching them with her paws, while watching the dog pulling around the chain.  Then, the cat turns around, proudly and rhythmically swinging her tail, and as she approaches the house, she pushes her little door with her head and comes in.

Sometimes, the owner, that is to say: me, allows the dog to come inside in the house, and go around the rooms. Often, when he sees the cat, sitting languidly in the tall bed, he starts barking.

One day, when the owners were out, while the cat was stretching over the bed covers, Spotted jumped and with his forelegs on the window, glanced inside. But the cat was fast asleep.

But it wasnlt only Spotted who was staring inside the house. The rooster, the three hens, and the goat came to watch, and even a little hedgehog, kindled by the huddle in front of the window, decided to c’imb the ivy stems. Two yellow hamsters who didnlt dare move from the shelter they made under the chimney, afraid that the cat might come, c’imbed to the other window.  
The donkey burst in too, and lifted his forelegs on the wall, between the hamsters. Since hels been working all morning, pulling the cabbage carriage, he asked the two yellow neighbors – the hamsters:

- “What did that cat toil to be sleeping in so late?”

"The hamsters, morose because of the bad weather and the back pain caused by carrying sacks with provisions off the fields, answered with their mouth half c’osed: 

"- “That cat doesn't work, doesn't even carry grains, like we do. The master lays the food under her mouth basically!”

"The hens started to cockle:

- “Maybe she's about to lay eggs?”

"And the rooster said: "

- “Ha-ha, cats don't lay eggs like you, nor do they sing like me!”

- “Oh, shut up, it is your fault!” said the others, “You don't sing loud enough in the mornings for everyone to hear you and wake up!”

- “Whaaat? The master wakes up only at the sound of my cock-a-doodle-doo, which is loud enough to be heard three miles away. His watch can break, but my voice won't fail.” Then the rooster shouted a cock-a-doodle-doo so sharp and loud that those around him covered their ears and the cat turned on the other side. The rooster shouted once more, even louder, and then the two windows split into thousands of cracks. The cat jumped terrified, saw all those faces at the window, and bristled her tail. Angry at the dog for making a fool of her, showing everyone what a lazy animal she is, the cat decided to take vengeance. 

The following day, the cat went to talk to the dog, and approached him wreathing her branchy tail around his foot:     
 - “Look, this is what I'm thinking, when the owner leaves and lets you roaming around the courtyard, come inside the house and sleep in that warm and soft huge bed. But pay attention; firstly, make sure that you wash your paws like I do, because otherwise you will get me in a lot of trouble.”

Spotted was so happy that he didn't waste any moment thinking. As soon as the owners left, came running to the cat's door. The cat was speaking from behind the door: 

 - "Oh, goodness, the mistress left this house too warm, maybe I should crack a window to make it cooler.” 

- "No, please, leave it like that!” said the dog, soaked by the autumn drizzle and his nose steaming. And tried to come inside the house, but his head got caught: 

-"Wait!” said the cat "First, show me your paws.”

The dog sneaked his paws through the door, but the cat whined:

-O see some dirt on your left leg, go get that water hose and wash it off, then come back. The dog ran and washed his legs again, then pushed the little door to enter the house, but got stuck, because he was a little bigger than the small door opening.

After many efforts to sneak in, he entered, but half of his body was still stuck. The cat, however, continued to encourage him:

-"Come on, just make another effort!”

The dog kept shoving himself in, but it was all useless. 

 -"Your fur is very bushy and curly, hold on, maybe if I'll trim it, you'll get thinner and will surely fit through the door!” Then the cat brought in a scissor, and started chopping his fur. Spotted s’id a little through the opening, but got even more stuck. He was not able to move any way longer.

At seeing this, the cat looked at the big watch on the wall, and began lamenting:

-''Oh God, in a little while the masters will be back home and will catch us, and we are going to be in so much trouble!''  Then, desperate and frightened, the cat started pulling the dog's ears.

Spotted was worried too, but he didn't make a sound, and allowed the cat to pull his ears, happy that she's helping him to get in. The cat kept pulling and pulling, and the dog was telling her: ''pull harder please!'', and afraid that the owners will come home and see him, he ignored all the pain.

When I got home, I found Spotted stuck in the little door, his ears were extremely long, like Cockers, and his fur all chopped. I had to cut the door with a jigsaw to get him out of there, and then I took his to get his hair cut and arranged. He stayed in the hall until his fur grew back. And since then, my dog has long ears….but it looks better this way!
