I Own the Place
June 12, 2021
-This regular column is from Lane III, the Golden Retriever who owns the Hazelwoods, the farm, and who-knows-what-else.
The Hazelwoods say they own this place, but I just let them keep thinking that. I know I’m really the owner. I’ll be the first to greet you when you arrive, unless I have made David take us for a ride in the truck.
In the mornings, if you want to go for a jog, I’ll run along with you. While you’re loading up on David’s made-from-scratch biscuits or Claudia’s quiche made from her hen’s fresh eggs, I’ll relax for awhile on the front porch of the guest cottage.
If you want a morning walk, let me take you to my favorite place down at Russell Creek. You don’t have to chase the rabbits or squirrels, since you’re here to take it easy. Besides, that’s one of my main jobs around here. I have to keep an eye on a lot of animals on this place. There are chickens, cows, deer, ducks, and a goose named Princess under a pear tree. David gets mad if I chase the cows, so I just bark at them when they get too close to the lawn fence.
I recommend you take a nap in the afternoon. Get someone to scratch you behind the ears after dinner and fall asleep by the fireplace at night. That’s what I usually do. I like owning this place. It’s a great place to live and visit. It’s a lot better than living in town where my cousins live.
Come back to see me sometime. I’ll be happy to see you. Don’t tell the Hazelwoods I told you all this good stuff.The body content of your post goes here. To edit this text, click on it and delete this default text and start typing your own or paste your own from a different source.
