Hey! ... Guess what?? ...

... like we all played in the yard the other day ... and like, Big Daddy and the little boy were playing with some really big sticks and stuff ... and later when I ran over there to bark at them, they had made this box full of dirt ... and like, it was so super cool ... but when I jumped into it Big Daddy got mad and yelled at me and stuff ... so, like, I didn't jump into it again for a long time ... oh, yeah, and like, I don't know what it's for but the rat says that the little boy is gonna rest in peace there ... but like, I don't think Big Daddy will be digging out a hole for him everyday 'cause like, Big Daddy doesn't like to work too hard and stuff ... but we'll see what happens ... oh, and guess what else??!! ... Mommie and Big Daddy and the little boy left us home alone the other weekend ... it was so awesome ... I could do whatever I wanted and do it whenever I wanted and do it however I wanted ... man, that was so cool ... and like, I napped and napped and took more naps ... oh yeah, and I played outside with Ivan and we ran around in the dirt box ... and I got to visit with the fence and the horse next door ... but like, every time I went to eat something, the rat was like "No! Don't eat! They're never coming back! We must save our food for when I am desperate!" ... and I was like, ummm ... I'm desperate now ... and the rat was like, "You must wait. You may not eat today!" ... and I was like, ummm ... why not? ... and he was like, "Because they might not come back and then I could starve to death and it would be my duty to eat you and the Green Vine in order to live and tell our story!" ... and I was like, ummm ... what story? ... and the rat was like, "The story of how you and the Green Vine were left to die of hunger when your owners abandoned you." ... and I was like, uumm ... they didn't abandon us cause like, I heard Mommie and Big Daddy talking about going to some big sand yard and playing in water but that they would be back the next day ... but the rat just kept talking about how it was the end of the world and we were left all alone and we were gonna die and stuff ... and ummm ... well ... I told Ivan not to pay any attention to the rat because he's just a stupid dumb rat ... but we both decided to eat when he wasn't looking since he was so scared that we were going to eat all the food ... and like, I woke up from one of my naps and everyone was home again!
