LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL OVER!

I COULD NOT BELIEVE,

I WAS FINALLY GOING TO GET A CHANCE TO PLAY BALL WITH MOLLY! 

IF YOU HAVE BEEN READING MY BLOG, THEN YOU ALREADY KNOW, 

THAT I WAS BROUGHT HERE TO THE PALACE FOR THREE REASONS,

AND THREE REASONS ONLY!

BE CRAZY CUTE!

BE CRAZY LOVED!

AND PLAY ME SOME CRAZY BALL Y'ALL!

ME AND MOLLY HEADED OUTSIDE TO FIND A BALL TO PLAY WITH!

OF ALL THE OTHER DOGS IN THE HOUSE, I LIKE PLAYING BALL WITH MOLLY THE MOST BECAUSE SHE'S THE ONLY ONE BESIDES ME,
WHO EVEN KNOWS WHAT A BALL IS!

IF I'M PLAYING BALL IN THE HOUSE AND THE BALL HAPPENS TO ROLL TOWARDS TIKA, LET'S SAY AT GARDEN SLUG SPEED? SHE WILL STARE DOWN AT THAT THING LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO GO OFF AND LOSE HER EVER-LOVIN MIND Y'ALL!

AND KACI? 

HERE'S WHAT SHE DOES WHEN I'M PLAYING BALL INSIDE!

SHE WAITS FOR ME TO ESTABLISH A SPECIFIC AREA IN THE ROOM THAT I'LL BE PLAYING IN AND THEN PARKS HER FUZZY LITTLE BUTT RIGHT SMACK IN THE MIDDLE OF IT, AND WAITS FOR THE BALL TO HIT HER, SO SHE CAN JUSTIFY ANY 'SNAP' DECISIONS SHE MIGHT FEEL COMPELLED TO MAKE,
DURING MY PLAYTIME!.

(I THINK IT'S HOW SHE FEEDS HER ANGER)

AND MERLIN?
MERLIN STILL REMEMBERS BEING NEUTERED..SO
(NOT A TON OF INTEREST RIGHT NOW)

 I LOOKED OVER TO WHERE I WAS PRETTY SURE I HAD LEFT THE BALL LAST, 

AND WAS ACTUALLY SURPRISED TO NOT SEE IT THERE?

 "HMMM" I THOUGHT, "THAT'S ODD"

PERHAPS I LEFT IT SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE YARD AND JUST FORGOT?

I TOLD MOLLY,
 TO GO SEE IF THE BALL WAS ON THE OTHER END OF THE PORCH,
AND TOOK ANOTHER LOOK AROUND THE YARD.

NOTHING THERE...

NOTHING THERE...

NOTHING OVER THERE...

                              IF IT WAS OUT THERE...I SURE WASN'T SEEING IT!

I CALLED MOLLY BACK OVER,
 AND ASKED HER IF SHE COULD SEE IT OUT THERE ANYWHERE,

                                               AND LOOKED AROUND AGAIN...

              SOMETIMES AN EXTRA SET OF EYES, IS ALL IT TAKES YOU KNOW?

                                 

                                    WE DIDN'T SEE A BALL ANY WHERE Y'ALL!

MOLLY CLIMBED UP ON ONE OF THE CHAIRS, TO SEE IF MAYBE SHE COULD SPOT THE BALL WE WERE GOING TO PLAY WITH, FROM A HIGHER VANTAGE POINT,

                    
                                                         BUT CAME UP EMPTY...

SEEING NOTHING OUT IN THE YARD ANYWHERE, 

 SHE JUMPED BACK DOWN FROM THE CHAIR, 

AND TRIED TO PICK UP ON THE BALLS SCENT.

                                                     SHE SNIFFED THIS WAY,

                                   
                                                               
                                                     AND THEN THAT WAY..

                                                  AND THEN OVER THAT WAY...

 

                                   
                                          AND THEN BACK OVER THIS WAY,

                                                                                

                                                                                 

AND EVEN BACK LIKE THIS!

NOTHING!

REALIZING SOMETHING WAS GOING ON,
KACI CASUALLY STROLLED OVER TO FIND OUT WHAT IT WAS?
 SHE COULD TELL RIGHT AWAY, I WAS BECOMING VERY UPSET OVER THE CURRENT BALL CRISIS AND DECIDED TO GO FIND OUT FROM MOLLY WHAT ALL THE FUSS WAS ABOUT?

"HEY MOLLZ!" KACI SAID..."WHAT'S GOING ON?"

"OH THE POOR LITTLE PRINCESS PUPPY CAN'T FIND HER BALL!" MOLLY REPLIED.

MOLLY TOLD KACI TO COME A LITTLE CLOSER,
 SO SHE COULD TELL HER SOMETHING SHE OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T WANT ME TO HEAR.

KACI TRIED TO ASKED ALL INCOGNITO AND EVERYTHING,
 BUT IT WAS WAY TOO LATE FOR ALL THAT!

MY LITTLE EARS WERE UP IN THE AIR, THE SECOND I SAW THOSE CONNIVING LITTLE WEASELS STANDING NEXT TO EACH OTHER!

THE PLAN WAS FOR MOLLY TO GET ME OUT IN THE YARD AND AWAY FROM THE BACK PORCH, SO KACI COULD SNEAK BACK INTO THE HOUSE AND GRAB THE FIRST BALL SHE SEE'S THAT SHE COULD SNEAK BACK OUTSIDE WITH AND THEN ACT LIKE SHE JUST  FOUND THE BALL I WAS LOOKING FOR!

LIKE I WOULDN'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?

ALL THE SUDDEN,
 MOLLY BOLTED DOWN THE STAIRS AND ACROSS THE YARD IN A BLUR!

(I BELIEVE THIS, IS WHERE MOLLY EXPECTS ME TO RUN DOWN THE STAIRS AFTER HER AND THEN, GET INTO A HIGH SPEED CHASE WITH THE FENCE AT THE OTHER END OF THE YARD?

I THINK NOT!

THERE WAS ONLY ONE THING WRONG WITH MOLLY'S LITTLE PLAN...
 SHE INCLUDED KACI IN IT!

HOW WOULD THIS TWISTED AND DIABOLICAL LITTLE PLAN UNRAVEL?

WILL DITZY BE FOOLED BY A PRE-USED  BALL,
 WITH THE SMELL OF SOME OF HER OLD SPIT STILL ON IT?

WILL MOLLY BE OUT-SMARTED BY HER OWN STUPIDITY?

WHICH EVER WAY IT GOES...I CAN PROMISE YOU THIS FOLKS..
WE'RE GONNA HAVE A BALL Y'ALL!
WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME...
