Openings

ROBBIE: I have made an emergency escape opening in the fence. DOD has walked around the fence a few times, comes back scratching his head and tells Mom he has no idea where it is. Then he tried the old trick of locking me in the yard and walking off calling me to 'come'. HA! Now I might have fallen for that when I was much younger... but a mature Dog has been tricked before! I sat patiently at the gate and waited for him to come back....I tried not to smirk when he said 'where is it you little  Devil'? My lips are sealed.

LACEY:  I, Lacey, know where the opening is! Of course I am too full-figured to get through it myself ...but...I threaten to show it to Mom and DOD if Robbie doesn't share his toys and treats and play games when I want to.  I may not be as mature as Robbie but I am pretty sly and smart for MY age!
 I have that boy jumping to my tune.

Lamb Barbecue

ROBBIE: I just found out that Mom and DOD are going to be in the coffee and tea booth at the lamb barbecue this year....how great is that??  I mean there is lamb roasting EVERYWHERE (my favourite)....Hamburgers and hot dog sizzling on griddles (my next favourites) ....and what do they choose to work at ???  Tea and freaking coffee. What sort of treats am I going to get out of that I ask you? I know this is Mom's harebrained idea....I have to believe she does not have my best interests at heart! Phooey!

LACEY:  I want to go the barbecue! I have never been to one but Robbie tells me no dogs allowed. I am so disappointed......and if that weren't bad enough, now he tells me that they won't bring treats home either!  I don't like coffee.....HOWL!
