Dora: Captain Of The Queen’s Royal Fox Hounds
Astrology in real life
“Did you know that Dora was one of Teddy Roosevelt’s original Rough Riders? She was,” the soldier explained the Vid and I on the ride home last night. “Yep, this was back when she was a young dog and she was one of them all right. She rode with Teddy.”
Vid snorted.
“Yeah, she was there in Puerto Rico and when one of the men dropped the flag, it was Dora who saved the day. Yeah, she got up on her hind legs and did a one of those Hi, oh, Silver moves,” he said with his hands in the hair as if he were a horse. “And off she ran, she grabbed the American flag, ran up the hill, stuck it in the ground and that was that. Teddy got credit for that but it was actually, Dora.”
“Oh…”
“Yep, and then the Queen of England heard about it and that is when she named, Dora, the Captain of the Queen’s Royal Foxhounds so she did that for awhile. Yep, Dora was their leader, this was back when she could see. And now she’s old but she still dreams about those days sometimes. You can see her twitching in her sleep…”
He has Jupiter in Sadge… storytelling

The soldier could submit “Dora: Captain Of The Queen’s Royal Fox Hounds” for movie rights, with Dora’s permission, of course. As much as I love movies, a tale told captures my imagination. Elsa, between you and the soldier, Vid sure receives a rich tapestry of stories. Thanks for sharing this one!
“The day I met, Dora? I was on the bombing range in Puerto Rico. We were doing some stuff and at the end of the day I decided to go lay on the beach on a towel. So there I was, I was lying on my stomach and all the sudden I felt this… I felt this thing on my back. What is that? I didn’t know what the fuck it was – Dora was bald. She had no hair except for one small strip and she was covered in scabs and sores. What the fuck? I jumped up off my stomach to get the thing off me.”
Vid and I laughed.
“And then I saw it was a dog. Oh! It’s a dog, she was standing there doing her bumble bee dance she used to do, damned dog, so I got the medic. Special Forces medics are trained as medics but also as dentist and they also know husbandry… veterinary medicine. Because sometimes we go in and help people rebuild and we have to teach them to take care of their animals… their horses and their cows.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah, so I got the medic and said, is this a dog? What’s wrong with it? He said it was a dog and she had mange and probably worms and God knows what else. So he gave her some de-worming stuff and a shot for mange and she hung around with us… we were there about a month. Yeah, Dora hung out in the TAC (?) that is tactical and we all fed her from our MREs and then when it was time to go, I smuggled her home on the plane.”
“Did her hair grow back?”
“Yeah but that took about a year…”
“So then me and my son, we had Dora and I also had this guard dog, he was a mean son of a bitch.”
“How did he get along with Dora?”
“That dog didn’t get along with no one. He’s have killed any dog he saw but Dora was smart enough to figure out his phobia and she used it against him.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah, that dog was a mean son of a bitch. He was a guard dog, and he would kill your ass but he was scared to death of linoleum. You know, linoleum on the floor?”
We laughed (and this is true btw).
“Yeah, so he’d come running after, Dora, he was gonna eat her ass but she’s get on the linoleum and he’d run on the carpet, be coming after her full speed and then get to the line between the carpet and the linoleum and he’d stop right on it – bark his fuckin’ head off. That dog just couldn’t walk on linoleum so you know where Dora spent most her days…”
This is a David Lynch flick if I ever saw one!
I love these stories about Dora because we (my immediate family) do the same thing with our animals…attach human qualities and make up these wild stories about them and what they do while we are away from them or how they really feel about somebody or a situation and talk to them as if they were people and include them in any individual escapade….they were there too!!, you know!
I get such a kick out of them stories of yours, Elsa!
“Dora looked like a cucumber.”
“When?”
“When she was a bald and shit.”
“Green?”
“No but she was all bumpy and ugly like a cucumber, she looked awful and gross.”
A=Dora this story. She was saved by a soldier!
