Gardening

It’s official! I’m Mandy's helper! And I even assist Mandy when she works outside. Yesterday she went outside and tore apart the bushes that are next to the Man-Eating-Room and under my front-of-the-house window. Then Sam came home and started digging. I watched and watched, until Mandy came inside…for ME! She put me in harness and took me outside. I got to play in the dirt and chase bugs. Then Mandy took me to the side of the house to pull plants out of the ground. On the way over, we meet the most unfriendly creature. I don’t know what it was, but it was huge and it barked. I think Mandy said it was a dog, but most dogs I’ve meet don’t act like that. That thing was so rude. As soon as it saw me, it barked and tried to come get me. I was brave. He did not scare me. Mandy picked me up to keep me safe. I knew she would. I just don’t understand why that beast was so rude. I mean, all I said was hello! Then Mandy let me play outside. I got to go to places I have never been. It was a lot of fun! I was a little nervous to come back to the front of the house, but Mandy would call Sam and he would talk to us. I followed his voice all the way home!

This morning, we woke Mandy and Sam up, hoping they would let us outside to play with Mr. Turtle, but he was a no-show. We missed him. I hope he comes back soon. If you see Mr. Turtle, tell him to come back and play with us! We still need help scaring the evil rabbits off.

Well, I’m off to sneak up on Peyton while he is sleeping.
