It had been a while ... maybe they otta 'Take a Hike'.

HEY Guys ... Wanna go OUT?

YESSSSS!!
* SmokeMutt leaped out from under the 'puter desk ...
* Cinder bailed out of the padded living room chair ...
* One missing - where's da Mini~Mutt? ...

Sounds of a struggle from the Bunk Room ... Heidi rolls herself up in the sheet
and then can't figure out how to "open the door" on the sheet ...
A loud *THUMMP* indicates she either rolled out or rolled OFF the bed.


OK - Three to GO *bouncing up & down at the front door.
*SWISH* and the door's open and the mob is half way down the steps ...

***FLASH***

I can't believe all three could STOP & FREEZE in mid-step ...
Three Pair of eyes scan the sky ...
"Did'ja SEE that?"

OH Go ON ... ya didn't see a thing ... GO *PEE* - NOW!

They all walked out into the shadows - and weren't gone long enough to
either lift a leg or squat ... and the rush was on to retreat onto the porch.

OK --- Be GONE wiff ya! ... GO! ... GO *PEE*!!
I waved them all off the porch and closed the door - them out - me in.
A look out the peep hole said they all headed off the porch again.

About 3 minutes later ...
* Rummmmmmmmmble (OMG!)
* **FLASH**
* ***BOOM***

Uhhhhhh-Ooooooooooh ...

Within seconds >>>
* YIPP-YAPP~YIPPITY-YAP-YAP-Yap-YAPPPPPPPPP!
* *KNOCK*-*KNOCK*-*KNOCK*
* ***WHIIIIINNNNNNNE***

My guess ... That's Three for Three wishing to RE-enter the Ranch.

HEY - Did anyone remember to *go Pee*??

Yeah Dad ... step outside an check for Wet Spotz.


Their outside adventures are OVER till it's been dark and QUIET for at least an hour!
