ScccRATChhh ScccRATChhh SccRATChhh....What in the world??? It's a lovely Saturday morning and the light is shining in to the windows and quickly laying itself across the bedsheets while blinding my eyes. I stand up and stretch out my tight muscles. Molly is following my lead, so we both hop off the bed and our dreams fade into the backround. I trot into the living room and to the bay windows that look out onto our big oak tree. My nose presses on the glass as I eagerly look at Mom outside and when I retreat there is a smudge which Mom will happily accuse Molly of. The front door is ajar and there is a piece of cloth squished between the screen door and the front of the house. So with much effort, I manage to push the doors open with Molly once again trailing behind. WHOOSH...a sudden BLAST of cold air ripples through my coat and nips and my nose. I leap off of the steps and bound towards Mom who is moving the leaves with one of those broomie things that I hate. Mom says nothing, and completely ignores us as if this is the norm. The orange stained flowers dance gracefully in the air and twirl down to the ground, which then is taken on a journey into a pile of more twirling dancers. Hm. Mom has either not spotted me yet or doesn't care. Hey wait, she's scooped up by tennis ball. As soon as Mom goes inside to get the brown leafie bag, I quickly bury myself into the leaves and try to find my ball. Good thing Molly is sniffing the leaves. SQUEAK, the front door opens and Mom is back outside with the leaf bag. I turn as still as stone. Unknown to Mom, she starts picking up the leaves in big handfuls. One, two, three..... WOOF! I BURST OUT OF the leaf pile nearly toppling Mom and scaring her half to death. hehehehe. I come out triumphant, eager to show. Look Look At The Ball I rescued. She was not thrilled. I pushed the tennis ball in her face and stood on her thighs. "MAXIE!!!!!!". You could hear that a mile away. If the neighbors were not awake now, they would be. Mom took my collar and dragged me inside where I was to stay. I couldn't play with Molly or the leaves. So, I sat on the couch and chewed on the tennis ball....
