“I thought I saw the ball out there, Lucy. You see it?”
“It’s not here, Little one.”
“You sure? I could have sworn it was there somewhere.”
“Still don’t see it.”
“What’s that green thing by your butt?”
“OMG. It wasn’t there a few minutes ago.”
“Well, it’s there now. Mmmm, this sun feels good.”
“Yeah, take a break. You have been working too hard today.”
I’ll tell ya. After that cold snap, this feels so nice.”
“This is my kind of living, Little Potato.”
“Of course there is that confounded squirrel, Lucy. Uh, Lucy?”
“I can’t hear you, Little One. I’m on the hunt.”
“What is it?”
“Not sure. It growled like a grizzly but smells like a possum.”
“Well, that was sure anti-climatic.”
“Not every day brings the big game, Little one.”
“How about I wait out here until it comes back. If it ever does.”
“Yeah, you do that. Not sure, but I think I heard a kibble bag rustle. Let me know if you hear something.”
“You always pull that kibble thingy. All right, I’m coming with you.”

The sun must be so nice without the life-sucking heat you get in the summer. Can’t say I blame them for wanting to get their vitamin D.

It’s always good if mom and dad learn to outsmart their pups, especially with something like a Kibble. It’s so much easier than calling/yelling. Loved the story, John, and the dialogue. All smiles! 😀
