Chloe Writes...
Dear Little Sparrow,
I thought you wanted to
PLAY
When you came in and
FLEW
around on our screened in deck.
I was so excited that
SOMEONE NEW
Came to play.
Someone to
BARK
at and someone to play
CHASE
with.
It was
FUN
for awhile.
I didn't know
I wasn't supposed to
CATCH YOU.
Oh,my, Chloe...you just didn't know...but you are so contrite
ReplyDeleteSometimes, Chloe, our excitement gets ahead of our thought process (from Max).
ReplyDeleteI read this to Noah, our cat. He disagrees.
ReplyDeleteHe says you shouldn't feel sorry, and can he have it now.

inoahcat.blogspot.com, that is
DeleteI'm glad the squirrel is visiting you. He wouldn't stand a chance if he were in my yard. Puck and Snug would tag team him. Doomed is the squirrel that falls off the fence into our yard.
ReplyDeleteIt's okay Chloe, when you know better, you do better.
ReplyDeleteUh-oh. Did Chloe get into some trouble? I know you just wanted to have fun. Oops. Next time you'll know ... right?
ReplyDeleteWell, I didn't get in trouble, but the bird did fair so well....
DeleteWell, silly squirrel. What did he expect?!
ReplyDeleteWell, silly squirrel. What did he expect?!
ReplyDeleteChloe you are a good dog. You simply did what dogs are supposed to do! And you are quite an author. This reminds me of "This is Just to Say" by William Carlos Williams. Have you read that? I love your poem!
ReplyDeleteMom just used that poem in her class, so she taught it to me last night!
DeleteOh no! Hehe. Such a cute slice, Chloe! I especially liked the way you emphasized certain words in all caps so we could feel your excitement!
ReplyDeleteMom ruins our fun by yelling, "Run birds, run!" before we are released into our yard. You are so lucky! (the sparrow, not so much)

Next time you will know. I watch the cats at the window trying to play with the birds too.
