Choopie Cotton Tail

Linda subbed a late class tonight, so she did not get home until 7:30.  Since Chim had been cooped up for almost 4 hours, she took us for a long walk even though she was tired and wanted nothing more than to eat some food and rest. Since we knew we would be gone an hour, the trail was out of the question because it would have been much too dark.  Instead, we did our next favorite thing.  Linda carried us across the busy main road and we walked in a different neighborhood.  I love all the new smells and sights.  Chimmie was doing the funniest thing.  He was darting around, changing directions like a bunny.  We think he was trying to catch bugs, but Linda did not see anything.  It was like he was jacked-up on too much caffeine.  When we got home, he did his usual 100 mile an hour figure-eights around the backyard for 10 solid minutes.  He ran so hard he started having an asthma attack and was choking to breath.   Dumb dog.  He's already pulled his bed out and tucked himself in.
