I would like to thank my dog as always. If you couldn't tell, this is from her point of view doing one of our favorite things together. She is always my greatest inspiration.
I watch my little human DASH out of her room,
maybe she can put me out of my gloom.
Maybe we will walk really far!
But instead she walks to the car.
Are we going for a ride?
But wait, what is she pulling from inside?
She pulls a GUN?!
but maybe, could it be…
a bubble gun?
Maybe, just maybe,
we're going to have my favorite kind of fun!
My favorite kind of fun with the bubble gun!
We slip and slide across the floor,
then dash out the back door!
My little human suddenly makes
hundreds of bubbles appear.
I run and jump, here and there,
trying to catch them anywhere,
but before long, they all disappear!
POOF!
Without a trace.
Maybe they're flying off to space,
escaping with grace.
I bark at my human
so she knows there are no bubbles left,
there's none to chase,
I need to tell her
just in case.
But then there are hundreds of bubbles
right in my face!
As more bubbles fly
I chase nearby.
My little human asks if
I’m losing my mind?
