A HOUND'S GOTTA DO
TODAY I ESCAPED FROM THE CAR FAST AS I COULD AND RAN TO THE TREES NEXT TO MY HOUSE. THERE WAS A SQUIRREL THERE. IT WAS BIG, BLACK, AND DANGEROUS. I CHASED IT AWAY ACROSS THE STREET AND THEN IT PLAYED "NO FAIR". IT WENT UP A TREE.
I CIRCLED THE TREE IN THE BEST HOUND FASHION I KNEW, BUT I DID NOT BARK.
MY MOMMY WAS PLENTY MAD AT ME FOR CROSSING THE STREET WITHOUT LOOKING BOTH WAYS. WHILE SHE LECTURED ME, I STUCK OUT MY TONGUE, ROLLED MY EYES, HAD AN OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE AND JUST WAITED FOR IT TO ALL BE OVER.
