about herself and told me 10 cali her

green that Worley said It looked as
beautiful as a flower garden, and then
she said she would go home and clean
up and have lunch and we would 90
for a walk and | could show her the

out in front and we were standing
there and we heard a noise away down

and it kept getting bigger and bigger
until We saw It was two dogs and one
was running away from the other ana
one wa chasing the other and almost
had il and the one that was running
away saw us and saw .'lt our yard was
open and he went in there and around
the house as " someone had stepped
on his exhilerater and the other one
after him an | Rowdy after both Of them
and by the time Morley and | could ret
around there they were all tangled up
in the middlt Of the lettuce bed
THEN ali Of a sudden they straight
\ cned out and Rowdy was chasing
both Of them and they went out Of the
