Hi! to Star*Burster, Hannah, and all The Rest of our Buds ~

Youse guys otta leave those hunneysucker thingies alone - Dad goes ballistic
whenever wun of us FurKids takes to munchin on "stuff" we find on our walks .

But we've found a really neat way to jerk on Dad's chain when we go for our outie before bed time. Ya gotta find a spot inna yard where the light isn't too good - we picked a spot where the pole light casts a shadow from it's pole. Start off by acting real interested in one spot ~ paw the ground wiffa forepaw, sniff like crazy, jump up-an-down, maybe bark a few times. We both take turns working the same spot. Soon as you hear the ole *leave it!* trot off and give yer Hoomin the "oh, it's nuffin" look ; but circle right around and go back to the zakt same spot. Betcha yer Hoomin will come out to check on whatcha got!

We been workin our "spot" all week. Dad has gone back inna house, put his slipper feet on, and marched out to the "spot" for the last three nights! What a HOOT! He eben brought his big firefighter lectrik light torch stick thingy so's he could see better night fore last. He musta looked fer 5 minnits. Nuffin there! Mighta been a bug or sumpin like that the furst nite, but trust me, ain't nuttin there now, cept a lotta dawg and Two-Legger pawprints inna big circle .

We play the game till the dew drops start soaking through Dad's slipperz, then he usually mutterz a few NawTee wurds an stomps back onna porch an hollerz fer us to "come, NOW!" SmokeMutt keeps askin me what we're lookin for, but so far he keeps playin rite along. Dumb Brudders are purdy handy ta have inna fambly!!

Tucker ~ You really *like* those crabby apple thingies? I nebber got to really try wun - ya know wiff Dad hollerin those *leave it* wurds an pryin my mouf open to dig em out - I can't tell if I like em or not. Do those stem thingies *tickle* when they travel down yer inside pipes?

Waggz to All, Woof at ya later.

PS: Everybody please remember our sicklee Bud Killian and keep yer pawz crossed for the big guy. He an his Mom, Miz Sue, need all our thoughts and prayers! Hang in there, Killian ~ we're all wishin you the Very Best!
