Overprotective or Overpossessive

"Do it!" my brother laughs hysterically, as he hands me the dog and animatedly mimes running away from her and out of sight. "What is she going to do?" I scream after him... hearing only his diminishing, "Just do it!"

The dog has turned into a dervish in my hands, squirming left and right forcibly, attempting to break free of my grasp, a low murmur rustling in her throat. I count to ten, giving Ian the requisite time to find a sanctuary from her seeming wrath and release.

The beast flies across the house, filling each room with a bounding squall certain to bring even a banshee to white-haired fright. Feverishly she passes from room to room, her eyes darting for any sign of her erstwhile lost master. Gophering on her back legs, Sasha cranes to see onto the beds, peers behind doors, scratches at the closets.. all to no avail.

"Where is she!" he whispers from his hidden site (he had somehow suspended himself above the stairs, spidering the walls, in the stairwell where she couldn't see). "In mom's room." I cough out between laughs.

"SASHA" he screams atop his lungs from his hidden position... making it sound as if the hounds of hell have found him and are thrashing him to bits. Her answering trumpet bellows through the house as her tiny form comes bolting back across the living room to his call. Her screams continue to bounce off the walls as she looks once more in places she already has looked... while Ian is laughing so hard he threatens to sick up.

Finally he falls from his perch, unable to stop clutching at his side from laughing so hard. Naturally, the dog hears the resounding cacophany of his fall and descends upon him like a blood frenzied great white shark, immediately latching onto his pant legs with her teeth and furiously growling between each rattling shake of her head. He impishly grins at me as he stiff leggedly drags her still biting body across the floor like a snarling mop. "See, I told you it was funny!"
