The great squash adventure...earlier this evening

Funny story.......I had Ross cut up an acorn squash tonight to feed to my shelled friends. When I went out to pass out the goodies George (the tortoise) was taking his nightly stroll so I just put his down in the grass in front of him. Well, I also had two puppergirl assistants tonight, both of whom love George. It's like a special thing that they get to go there with me. They're funny that way. As I put the second piece down for George, I turned to open the pen lid to give some to the Russian tortoises.That's when she made her move, can you guess which pupper girl it was?
I assumed you would guess Marley, but this time, that pup is in the clear. The offending pup was none other than Marlo Louise. She grabbed a piece of George's squash and took off running. Marley didn't realize what had happened but knew Marlo had something she didn't, so the chase began.

I began chasing Marley chasing Marlo and kept calling for Marlo and she kept dodging me. Then when I finally caught her, she would not drop it or give it to me. I finally pryed it out of her mouth with both hands. Usually she's pretty good about giving it to me when I ask. Tonight she was being a bit difficult......

She's the one that will always claim innocence, but the quiet ones are the sneakiest. Marley never tries to hide anything, her motto is "just do it".

Tonight I saw the neighbor outside and realized we had not cut the tomato vines as far back as I thought we did. I asked the neighbor if he wouldn't mind pulling everything back through his side so that it was even more inaccessible.

Tonight was the great squash adventure....or, as one of my other friend's said, "You squashed the great squash adventure!"

When Ross came out to see what was going on, he told Marlo that she should give the squash back to me because we've all seen what other (now my words not his) goodies off a vine can do to her stomach and we don't want that to happen again.
