today I galloped across the prairie without a lease, i am still pretending to be a buffalo
 |
| waiting on letty to catch up |
letty said i could run free without the lease because i new how to old bay, i think old bay is good because i bay on the day when the loud si run blows and letty rubs my ears
i did not run very far today like i do when there are clouds over the sun, i ran to the shade tree until letty caught up, then i ran to the next shade tree and rolled in the cool grass, she gave me hot water to drink but i did not complain, it tasted good,
after three good runs we came to a lot of shade trees and she let me play on my own and smell the animals, she laughed at me and said it looked like i was smelling the flowers,
i wish she could understand what i smell, i think if i use my nose i can tell her when another dog has been here because it smells musky and i could tell her she needs to run away from danger if i smell something fright full
if i smelled danger i would run and she would chase me, then we would both be safe but today i just kept leaping from shade to shade chasing flying critters and bugs, i even catch flies at home and jack always says GOOD MURPHY,

| nose down and sniffing |
we sat down and both had a drink of water, she said her water was hot too, we heard a noise, she looked around and pointed at the clouds nearby, she called thunder and we decided to walk back to the car, but along the way i smelled something fusty, that made me so happy that i rolled and rolled in the fusky filthy grass
letty had walked on to the next shade tree to wait on me, so i kept exploring and rolling the brown grasses, it felt so good until i noticed that letty was not in the shade, oh no no no i barked, she showed up, she was teasing me by hiding
i ran lickety split up to her and around her and the trees like a galloping pony, suddenly she started yelling at me that i smelled RANK, RIPE, REEKING OF A PUTRID ANIMAL, yippee i barked, i smell fresh and like a buffalo,
when she said murphy sit i stopped running and sat in the sun, i was so hot and tired that my tongue was hanging out, she put water in the red bowl away from me in the shade and i walked over there to drink it up, i laid down to drink the water and stretched out on the grass
she just stood there watching me shaking her head back and forth, she even put her hands on her hips and looked mad, i rolled over on my belly
 |
| should i come or should i go |
after a long time for her to think she said in a mean tone, murphy you walk by me now, we walked together back to the car, i did not have to wear the lease because i was a good dog, on the way back i got to thinking maybe i was not a good dog because he did not rub my belly
at the car i just wanted to jump in and be cool but she made me wait until she found my old towels to put on the seat, i jumped in and the car was cool,
on the way home she kept asking me what i rolled in, i hung my head because i new she wouldn't understand that it was important for me to roll in dead animals bodies
when we stopped the car in the garage she opened all of the doors for me, and that was confusing, i picked one and ran to the door but it would not open, i had to go around back and stay
i guess you now how my story ended
it ended in a bath, a long soapy in my eyes and ears bath, but letty is happy now
