We just had an adventure together, complete with treasures and fearsome beasties. Sam walked down the steps saying, “walk, Walk” so we walk up the street. She spies a large ball, glistening purple about a foot around, at the intersection. Nearly unhanding me in the middle of the road, she runs to the ball. She picks it up and takes it to Sue’s house, but Sue isn’t home. So I manage to persuade her to come home, still carrying the ball that is half her size. We meet up with two fearsome beasties, Ella and Tucker, who couldn’t wait for their pirate princess to return home and decided to take matters into their own hands. Er, paws. So they dash towards us over Marshall’s yard, obviously drunk as good pirates should be, although in their case I think it was the freedom rather than a special libation. Samantha gave me her ball so we could get home faster. We met a nice man who offered to help get the beasties home, but they were actually waiting at the gate already so it was fine. We all got home safe and sound, complete with new treasures. Now I need to get this sniffly pirate princess fed and to bed.
