Sometimes when Mom and Dad are busy I stay on the deck I like it.  I can see birds and rabbits and deer one day I saw a turkey it made me crazy I wanted it.   There is shade and a water bowl I can hear the other dogs barking so I know where they are.   The deck has a gate with a latch I like the deck.

A few days ago Mom and Dad put me on the deck I OPENED THE GATE!  I RAN!  I am smart I opened the gate I ran!  Dad came out the front door to get me I was gone I ran!   Dad yelled, “TAKODA COME!”  I ran.

I ran next door to see Daisy 2 no name stray dog we ran.  I ran to the park I ran to the neighbors they called Mom and Dad my tag says to call for $reward they did.  I don’t know $reward but they called they did not keep me, I got away I ran their German Shepherd is old I ran.  It was getting dark Mom and Dad walked and drove all over our mountain I ran it was fun.  I decided to go home I was hungry Mom said I stunk I had to go to the beauty parlor and get consequences the next day then I smelled good I was shiny.  Dad said I am prettier than the lady on the Weather Channel.  I am handsome. 

There is a lock on my gate now I can’t open it.  Mom and Dad have to do it after my leash is on I don’t have thumbs.
