MARLEY: I was sitting at the deck door last evening and watchin it get dark outside. I sure wish I was out there. Dad says its not safe out there at night. But it is SO inneresting out there in the dark. I can catch mousies better.
But the only way I can stay out at night is iffen I don't come inside when he calls me at sunset. I stayed out twice this moon. He got pretty upset, so I suppose I shouldn't.
He's getting trickey though. He calls me before sunset for "Dinnertime" and I always LOVE to hear that. I pay more attention to "Dinnertime" than I do my own name.
So here I am sitting at the deck door as it gets dark after dinner...
I wish I was out there. But as Dad says, "there are owls"... So, I guess it is better to eat a few thousand more meals and nap on his lap than catch a few more mousies.
