The Walky
by Sara Wadington

Dog:

We go this way!

Girl:

 No. No. Come on. This way.

Dog:

 No! This way! This Way!!

Girl:

I don’t want to go that way. Come on, walk nice.  Heel!!

Dog:

But something over there I must smell, I want to go this way!!  

Look, I give you puppy eyes.  Please…..

Girl:

 Okay, just a little that way, we’re not going far though.

Dog:

Good, see there is a smell, a new dog walked by.

Girl:

Ok, you done sniffing yet?

Dog:

No!

Girl:

Oh come on!

Dog:

Wait! More smells, must mark this here.

Girl:

Come on, let’s keep moving, this is supposed to be a walky not a sniffy.

Dog:

But wait this is interesting, there were two of them.  

One was old, and the other a young female. 

Girl:

Oh, Come on! Let's go now!

Dog:

Yes, this way! They went this way!!

Girl:

 Wait up! You’re walking too fast! Slow down!

Dog:

You walk to slow!  This way! Come on let’s go!

Girl:

Now where are we going?

Dog:

That tree over there, smells, smells, smells, need to mark it.

Girl:

Okay, happy now?

Dog:

Ha, ha, ha, lets go this way, follow the scent of those two dogs.

Girl:

But it’s almost lunchtime.  We’re having hamburger, want some yummy hamburger?

Dog: 

Hamburger?

Girl:

Yes, hamburger.

Dog:

Yum!  Yum!!

Girl:

Ready to go home now?

Dog:

One more mark on this tree!  They might come back. Then they’ll know I was here.          

This is my tree!    

Girl:

Good boy!

Dog:

Okay, now we can go home!

Girl:

Wait up! Don’t pull so hard!  Don’t Run!!!!  

Dog:

Hurry! Hurry! hurry!!  Now I want my hamburger! Yum!  Yum!!  Yum!!!!
