Freedom

A rare opportunity reared it's head today for me and I just had to take it. The woman was cleaning off the porch with the door open this morning. I sat just inside the door like a good dog should. She started arranging the flowers in the pots and she was taking such a long time.

All the while, the new dog across the street was taunting me. He kept yapping at me, "Do it! Run, you wont get another chance."

I couldn't let him think I was chicken. I waited until she looked at me sitting so good just inside the door. After I let her see me, she turned her back and I took off. I was so fast, I made it around the corner before she even realized I was gone. Once I was out of sight, I slowed down and started to enjoy myself. Everyone along that street will know that it belongs to me now.

I was afraid the new dog was going to rat me out before I made it away. He was barking...egging me on so. I told him to be quiet but he wouldn't listen.

Anyway, I got all the way to the 4th house up the street before the woman drove up in the car. I thought about ignoring her but I love to ride in the car so much, I couldn't help it. I jumped in and we were back home in no time.

I will remember those 2 minutes for the rest of my life.
