Walk in the park

CONTINUED FROM THE PREVIOUS POST...

I took a deep breath of fresh air when all of a sudden ---

WHOMP!!!

I was knocked over by something brown and furry!  When I looked up, I saw...

"Woof!"

It was a puppy!

"Hello there," I said.  "And where did you come from?"

"Woof!" the puppy barked.  I am not that good at translating dog language.

He did not have a collar on.  I looked around.  There was no one in sight.

"Hmm," I said.  "It seems that you are by yourself."

"Woof!"

"Would you like to play with me?"

"Woof!"

We climbed on some posts and jumped from one to the next.

We sat on a bridge and relaxed to the sound of a gentle stream.  I explained to him the best way to catch a fish.  He was a beary good listener.

We continued on the hiking trail together.

Then we watched a baseball game that was going on in the park.

But it was getting late and Uncle Tibbs and my mom would soon wonder where I had gone.

"It was nice playing with you today," I said to the puppy.  "But I have to go home now.  Maybe I will see you again someday."

"Woof!"

And then I headed home.

Along the way, I stopped to smell these daisies.

Everything was so green, as green as my hoodie.

I had such a nice time at the park today.  I can't wait to tell Uncle Tibbs all about it!
