Leader of the Pack

I think in Homer's eyes I'm the Alpha-dog when it comes to our pack. I was never quite sure where he ranked Jennifer. I think yesterday he clarified his position. We were sitting outside David's enjoying the unusually cool June weather when Homer sauntered over to where Jennifer was. He sniffed at her foot, lifted his leg and then leisurely urinated on her sandal-clad foot with that serene and aloof expression he has whenever he's marking territory.

At that point I was faced with a dilemma. I don't really care when Homer marks the park, but marking another member of the pack? As the Alpha I think it's my responsibility maintain my position by putting a mark on top of his -- which might have turned out a bit embarrassing. Jfer saved the day by claiming that Homer didn't “really” mark her. Supposedly he smelled something on the ground by her chair and her foot was just, er, collateral damage.

I'll let it slide for now, but if he ever does it again, they better both watch out...
