What about those Rez Dogs?

In Fort Defiance I came home to my place late one evening just the other day and Phil who is my best friend and neighbor has a cat. Now, I have a rez dog, Swifty. Now Swifty was sitting at the front porch with Phil's cat in his mouth.

The cat didn’t look good, in fact he looked dead. I didn't know how to tell Phil about his cat, so I took it inside and thought about what to do about it, so then I washed it up, blow dried the cats’ long hair and snuck over to the back porch of Phil’s house and put the cat there as if it were sleeping. Later I saw Phil and he didn't say anything about his cat.

The next day the same thing happened, Swifty had Phil's cat when I came home. I picked the cat up and thinking on what to do now I took her inside and washed it, blow dried the fur and then snuck the cat back over to Phil’s place and put it where it was before. Later on that evening when I saw Phil he didn’t say anything about his cat.

Well the next day the same thing happened again, this time I put the cat on the front porch of Phil’s house. By this time the cat looked worse for wear. When I got back to my place and went inside I heard Phil's wife just scream so loud you could hear it a long ways off. My wife and I ran over to their house and Phil was just standing there. I asked Phil what happened.

He looked at me and said, I just don't get it, that cat died three days ago and I buried it and she keeps coming back!
