Hubert gets a taste of his own medicine

There we were; a bunch of us gathered in our backyard. Our neighbor had some relatives over and one of them wanted to see Hubert. He didn't need much prompting because wherever there is a crowd, there is Hubert smack dab in the middle of things.

I took out some soy nuts so that the relative could see Hubert munch on something. But Eddie, our Jack Russell Terrier, asked for some for himself. Now, Eddie does not particularly like nuts but being a JRT he wanted some of the action. I threw some near him and Hubert went over to get them. Well, you'd think someone was trying to abscond with Eddie's meat chunks. He growled at poor Hubert and faked biting him. Hubert was flaggergasted and walked away. I gave him more soy nuts.

BTW,I figured out why Hubert always seems to be in the middle of things. It's just that he isn't very nimble and must plant himself like a log if he is to be at all social.
