Chapter Five
“MEOW!”
“MEOW!”
“MEOW!”
“MEOW, MOM/DAD I WANT IN!”
I’m done with all this waiting.
With that, Mindy stomped off the cement step, down the cement sidewalk, across the red bricks, back onto the cement sidewalk.
WAIT!!!
WAIT!
I think I need to take a little break here and …………….ummmmmmmmmmm enjoy myself for a spell.
Meanwhile—
“Henny lets go see what sitting on the cement step is all about.”
“Sounds good, wait just a minute, Penny, let me catch up with you. We will stand and peck at the door together.”
Peck, peck, peck
Peck, peck, peck
“This is dumb, Penny. I have better things to do.”
“HAHAHAHAHA” I bayed at those silly hens.
“There is no one home.” Chuckling to myself I took off to do a little checking around.
I looked over here and sniffed out the news. Nothing.
Then I went down the road a spell,
Humm, Raccoons. In the night. Late.
Then I walked back to the lawn…nothing passed through here late last night, or early this morning, or after lunch.
“Hey, Mindy! Do you want to do something like anything…
I mean SOMETHING? This is BORING without Mom and Dad.”
BAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
HOWLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
“COME ON MINDY! MOM AND DAD ARE HOME!”
Life on a Colorado Farm 
Yay! It’s always better when Mom and Dad are home!
Love and licks,

Y’all holdin’ the fort down while Mom & Dad are away. Good babies!
I guess a dog/cat door would be a bad idea with wild critters around.

Mom and Dad were going to do that, but didn’t want a raccoon, a skunk or a porcupine coming is. SO we WAIT. Boomer

I wouldn’t mind having a door of my own but, mom wouldn’t go for it.
