A morning dialogue.

Yesterday we went for an early morning walk with Jackson and his human.  It was a calm, peaceful, BEAUTIFUL morning.  The sun had just risen.  The birds were singing.  The loons were calling... Allow me to provide the dialogue between the two humans we brought with us on our walk...

MH = My human
JH= Jackson's human

MH:   Good morning.  Blablablablablabla...
JH:   Good morning.  Blablablablabla.

JH:  Jackson. Stay out of the swamp water.  Blablabla.  Jackson get out NOW.  Blablablabla.
MH:  Frodo I'm letting you off leash.  Don't abuse this privilege.  Viktor - you are still staying on.  Blablablablabla.
MH;  FRODO.  THIS way.  Blablablabla.
JH:  Blablabla.  Jackson.  Stop rolling in whatever that is.
MH:  Frodo. Don't eat that.
MH:  OK Viktor, you can go off leash.
MH:  Blablabla.
JH:  Blablabla.
JH:  OMG - is that the DUCK on the pond? It IS!
MH:  OMG - she's heading this way.  Viktor.  Oh Viktor.  Come here for a minute.  (As she grabs me and puts me back on leash).
JH:  Holy moly.  That duck is FOLLOWING us on the pond.
MH:  AND she knows where we live. Viktor stop looking at her.
JH:  Blablablabla.  You know, practically everyone on the street  knows about you guys and the duck.  Blablabla.
MH:  OK.  Viktor you can go off leash again (as we are far from the pond).
JH:  Jackson, go in the CLEAN pond to wash off the swamp water.  Blablablabla.

JH:  Jackson, stop eating grass.  NOW. Hey look - there's ANOTHER duck.  With ducklings.
MH:  Viktor.  Oh Viktor.  (as she puts me BACK on the leash).
MH:  OMG - there's a rabbit.  And there goes Jackson.
