Oh, what a wonderful delightful afternoon all those years ago. How the columns of a newspaper would shake when those darling little wild fairy girls would blow down those stories of mine. I could fly a kite, read a favorite tale, play a game of catch. We had so much fun, we did it every day and the afternoon was a happy day for us today. We had so much fun it is hard to remember that they are gone these days and nothing that we do together is as fun. I'm sorry, they were perfectly happy, wonderful, harmless, blissful little girls, and we had fun together.
We decided a couple of years ago that we no longer wanted to play catch as much as we used to. This may come as a shock, but we just didn't like catching, man, we couldn't catch ourselves. We wanted such fun and so much light and laughter in our days, we decided to be more adventurous.
Our decision wasn't an easy one. We had two toddlers whom we'd wanted to help with things. One was our beautiful, little angel. She was the one we'd taken her first in an airplane of little nylon in the back seat and the little single stroller seat; she was so precious to us, so angelic. We'd seen her smiling from her seat, gobbling up her fare before removing her Vent leather chair seat skirt. Her sweet little face looked up at us with a big smile. We thought she was the cutest kid ever, and we loved them so much. And then our other child, who was Sam, loved to play with our angel. The two of them had a delightful time together and, as you'd expect, the dog was there too. We'd hand him treats and he'd lick 'em where he stood, and then run behind other kids and jump in their direction. His eyes would part just right when he'd reach a couple of them and he'd jump to get a piece of candy.
We'd seen him jump from jet skis at the ski track where the ski-obsessed, lining our living room, would watch. It was great fun and we always rejoiced at his jumping ability. He never did quite as big of a jump as he would like, however, and the pelting felt was a bit painful at the time. Nevertheless, we were thrilled that he could have as much fun as he did.
This is where we had to choose between these two children. The angel girl again, and it was easy, because she had so much light and laughter in her. And Sam was just a big kid at heart. We really felt that he would be a more fun and cherished child, if we would just give away our angel's toys. And then we did just that. We decided to give all of the angel's toys to her, but placed the dog in the front yard so he could see what was going on.
Sometimes we'd stand there for a moment as we watched the dog and then rush over and tell the really little angel to "steal away" the little spots or scribbles that she found in her playthings. One time Sam hides behind her big, decorated, red, angel skirt and she finds him, scaring at him and flapping at his head. That big brown one I haveFunction faint nonsBlack wingsaring downwards from her sides. She can't be that sharp, is she? Then he pulls it down and she finds her prize catch - which happens to have a big red bow. Lift it up, show the little old lady, and she bursts out in joy, hugging you with a big, happy, and still squealy hug. We swear she was the cutest angel on the planet, and because we always had so much fun playing with her, we do think of her fondly whenever we think about our angel.
Be sure to try this at least once in your home and if it doesn't work, go back to when you think you can remember this incident. Your dog might be friendly but he might also have a naughty streak, don't know what's that about?
