NEVER A DULL MOMENT!

TIKA WAS SO MAD AT HERSELF FOR SPENDING ALL THAT TIME,

 THINKING SHE WAS LOCKED IN A KENNEL, WHEN SHE WASN'T, 

I KNEW THAT GETTING IN ANY PLAYTIME WITH HER, 

WAS NOT ONLY HIGHLY UNLIKELY AT THIS POINT

BUT PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE MUCH FUN EITHER

                                             SHE JUST SHOOK HER HEAD,

                                         AND WENT BACK INTO THE HOUSE.

(I THINK THE REASON SHE'S SO UPSET WITH HERSELF TODAY IS BECAUSE,

 SHE COULD HAVE SPENT THAT WASTED TIME DOING NOTHING, SOMEWHERE ELSE!)

(LET'S GO SEE HOW SHE'LL BE WASTING THE NEXT TWENTY MINUTES,

 DOING NOTHING ....SOMEWHERE ELSE!

                                                           SHE'S IN HERE...

              NOW THERE'S A GIRL THAT KNOWS HOW TO RAISE THE ROOF Y'ALL!

"SLOW DOWN TIKA!

 YOU'RE GONNA END UP BREAKING SOMETHING,
IF YOU DON'T GET ALL THAT EXCITEMENT UNDER CONTROL!

 WHY YOU COULD BEND A NOSE HAIR OVER IF'N YA AIN'T CAREFUL!"

I WENT OUT TO THE KITCHEN, JUMPED UP ON THE BAR STOOL,

 AND CRACKED OPEN THE LAPTOP TO START BLOGGING.

DEE AND THE BIG GUY HAD SCHEDULED A TRIP TO THE DOG PARK IN A LITTLE WHILE, SO ABOUT ALL I WAS REALLY GOING TO HAVE TIME TO DO, 

WAS LOG IN AND CHECK MY STATS.

I HAD PICKED UP ANOTHER READER EARLIER AND THOUGHT I WOULD AT LEAST TAKE A MINUTE AND INTRODUCE YOU ALL, BEFORE I HEADED OUT TO THE DOG PARK!

SO...READER NUMBER 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6, MEET READER # 7!

READER # 7 MEET READERS NUMBERS 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1!

OKAY, SEE YOU IN JUST A BIT!

BY THE WAY...

(TODAY'S BLOG IS GOING TO BE ABOUT TAKING A ROUTINE TRIP TO THE DOG PARK, AND SENSATIONALIZE IT WITH SO MUCH CLIFF-HANGING DRAMA, 

YOU'LL BE WISHING YOU BROUGHT POPCORN!

AND I'LL BE WISHING I HAD A WAY TO SELL YOU A SMALL BAG FOR 14 BUCKS TOO!

 ADD SALT OR BUTTER FOR ONLY 6 DOLLARS MORE!

 WE'LL, AS YOU CAN SEE....I AM BACK!

 O.M.G! 

YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE,

 HOW THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON UNFOLDED! 

MY PAWS ARE STILL SHAKING!

FOR WHATEVER REASON, AT THE LAST MINUTE,

DEE & THE BIG GUY DECIDED TO HOLD OFF ON GOING TO THE DOG PARK UNTIL THE WEEKEND, BECAUSE THERE WAS A 50 % CHANCE OF RAIN!

 NOW FOLKS...

I'M NO METEOROLOGIST OR EVEN A WEATHERMAN, 

BUT IT SEEMS TO ME, THERE'S ALWAYS AT LEAST A 50% CHANCE,

 OF ANYTHING HAPPENING AT ANY GIVEN TIME! DON'T YOU THINK?

I MEAN, IF THERE'S A 50% CHANCE OF RAIN..

.DOESN'T THAT ALSO LEAVE A 50% CHANCE OF SUNSHINE TO CONSIDER AS WELL?

I'M JUST SAYING...

INSTEAD OF TAKING US TO THE DOG PARK,

 LIKE THEY PROMISED!

THEY DECIDED IT WAS A BETTER DAY, TO GO TAKE IN A MATINEE!

WELL HOW SPECIAL AND SELFLESS IS THAT FRIENDS?

 

NOT 10 SECONDS AFTER DEE AND THE BIG GUY LEFT FOR THE MOVIES,

 I WENT AND LET THE OTHERS KNOW, THAT I WAS GOING TO THE DOG PARK TODAY NO MATTER WHAT! 

I'M SORRY, 

UT YOU DO NOT RATTLE A DOGS LEASH AT THE DOOR,

 AND THEN HANG IT BACK UP ON THE HOOK!

                                                         ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

MOLLY AND MERLIN WANTED NO PART OF SNEAKING OFF TO THE DOG PARK,

BUT TIKA AND KACI COULDN'T JUMP IN THE CAR FAST ENOUGH!

I JUMPED INTO THE DRIVERS SEAT AND PUT THE OTHER TWO IN THE BACK SEAT,

 IN CASE I HAVE TO STOP QUICK!

                                                         WHAT? I HAVE A LICENSE!

A BROUGHT ALONG MY LATEX ACTION-GRIP MAKE BELIEVE, HUMAN HELPING HAND TO HELP ME STEER BECAUSE MY PAW PADS ARE REALLY DRY THIS TIME OF YEAR!

I GOT IT ON LINE ABOUT A YEAR AGO. 

YOU JUST SLIDE YOUR PAW IN AND BEND THE FINGERS HOWEVER YOU WANT THEM!

         (I USE THE INDEX FINGER AT HOME,

 FOR THE SPELL-CHECK, AND BACKSPACE BUTTONS ON THE LAPTOP!)

 KACI WAS IN THE BACK SEAT, WHINING ABOUT BEING TO SHORT TO SEE OUT THE FRONT WINDOW, SO TIKA TOLD HER TO CLIMB UP ON HER BACK,

 SO SHE COULD BETTER.

THAT SEEMED TO DO THE TRICK, BECAUSE FOR THE REST OF THE RIDE,

 I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING FROM KACI!

                  JUST AS WE WE'RE ABOUT TO PULL INTO THE BARKING LOT,

 HERE COMES THIS DOBERMAN IN A PICKUP TRUCK HEADED STRAIGHT AT US,

 DOING LIKE 150 MPH.

I JERKED THE WHEEL HARD AND FAST TO THE LEFT AND PUT IT ALL IN SAINT BERNARDS PAWS FROM THAT POINT ON.

KACI FLEW OFF OF TIKA'S BACK BUT THANKFULLY LANDED ON THE SEAT BEHIND HER.

                   TIKA ON THE OTHER HAND WAS VIOLENTLY TWISTED AROUND,

      AND THEN THROWN TO THE FLOOR BEHIND MY SEAT,

WITH A BONE SHATTERING THUD. 

I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A SCREECHING HALT, 

AND LOOKED IN THE BACK TO SEE HOW THE OTHERS WERE.

                                            

                                         THANKFULLY EVERYONE WAS OKAY!

I PARKED THE CAR AND LET THE OTHERS OUT AND NOTICED, THAT TIKA WAS LIMPING. I WAS HOPING I WOULDN'T HAVE TO MAKE THE DECISION TO PUT HER DOWN RIGHT HERE IN THE PARK AND PRAYED FOR THE BEST.

WE WEREN'T EVEN HALFWAY TO THE GATE, 

WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE, JUST BEYOND THE TREE LINE,

 JUMPS THIS PRETTY GOOD SIZED RED FOX!

   HE'S ALL UP IN MY GRILL!

WE'RE JUST ABOUT NOSE TO NOSE!

HE'S SNAPPIN AND A SNARLIN LIKE HE'S A FIXING TO DO SOME HARM OR SOMETHING,

 AND I'M ALL LIKE,

 "LOOKEE HERE RED,

.YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF MY FACE, 

AND GO FIND YOURSELF A DENTA STICK SOME PLACE!

YOU ARE STINKING UP WAY TOO MUCH OF MY PERSONAL SPACE,

 AND I GOTTA TELL YA...I REALLY DON'T APPRECIATE IT!

NOW GET TO STEPPING,
BEFORE I TELL MY LITTLE FRIEND HERE,
 I THINK SHE SHOULD GRAB A QUICK BITE TO EAT,
BEFORE WE CONTINUE ON OUR JOURNEY!

THAT QUICK BITE BEING YOU OF COURSE!

  NOW BEFORE YOU LICK THOSE DROOLING LIPS OF YOURS AGAIN MR. FOX" I CONTINUED, "LET ME SHOW YOU A PICTURE I HAVE HERE IN MY CELL PHONE OF MY LITTLE FRIEND, JUST BEFORE BEING RELEASED TO BRING DOWN AND  EAT A TRAPPED AND RABID CHUPACABRA, STANDING LESS THAN 7 FEET AWAY!

I CAN'T SHOW YOU WHAT WAS LEFT OF THE CHUPACABRA BECAUSE SADLY..
.THERE JUST WASN'T ANYTHING LEFT TO SHOW YOU!

SUDDENLY, THE FOX WAS GONE...AS QUICKLY AS HE CAME.

AND WE HADN'T EVEN GOTTEN INSIDE THE PARK YET!

I WONDERED IF THIS DAY COULD GET ANY WORSE?

                                     I WOULDN'T HAVE TO WONDER LONG!
                                                            
                                                       BUT YOU WILL!
                                                    SEE YA NEXT TIME!
