my name spartacus. i finally went for a walk for the first time in a thousand years or so. this time it didn't feel like the sun was five inches from my head and so i walked my tail off. i walked all the way to the store where my sisters go to get colored ice drinks. i don't get those drinks. why would you want to drink anything, but water? ...and sometimes a lick or two of pee just for the information.
i stayed outside with my sister, Honey, to guard the bikes (Honey didn't bring her bike so she could walk me). this was cool with me cause i'm good at guarding stuff and because i got to smell all the peepole that went by.
you can get a lot of info from the way peepole smells. after one pat on the head i can tell what they had for lunch, how long ago they ate, what kind of pets they have, if they washed their hands the last time they peed, how long ago they peed, pee...and that's just the important stuff.
lots of peepole want to pet me and they usually smell alright, but every so often someone smells suspicious and i have to stop wagging my tail until my nose can approve them.
so i walked much farther than usual and i was still leading they way for Honey on the way back!
today daddy mowed the back yard. mowing is when he makes the grass shorter. he uses a machine for this. peepole use machines for just about everything; even to poop. remember the water bowl chair i told you about?
i like when he mows. i use to be afraid of the mowing machine cause it was so loud, but now i'm not ascared and we play a game with it. in the game i get in his way until the last minute and then run like crazy when my daddy yells at me. it's such a fun game! i can tell my daddy is having fun too cause his face turns red.
when i first saw the mower work, i was amazed. when you push it over the grass the grass gets shorter! awesome! but now i know how it works. you see, it's so loud that when you push it over the grass the grass ducks and tries to hide. the grass stays like that for a long time until it slowly stands back up again when it thinks its safe. i notice that some grass gets so scare that it jumps completely out of the ground!
i ain't afraid of the mower no more. i'm smarter than grass.
