I always told Frodo that there was evil lurking in this yard. "Nonsense!!" he would say. "Rubbish," and then fall asleep in the same spot every day. How could he sleep through all this. Lucky I was here to protect him through the day while he napped.
Every few hours I would spot some movement and have to bark. Frodo would wake up and grunt "You go get em Sir Wag. I got your back," before falling asleep again. I knew that if I was loud enough, the German Shepherd next door would go ballistic and scare them away. I had to take action. We needed a backup plan. An escape route of sorts. I wish he would help me dig that tunnel we planned, instead of running after that silly ball of his. Every now and then he would humour me and help with the tunnel, but he would lose interest in the dig very quickly. Then start a new dig somewhere else. Maybe that was not such a bad thing after all. All those random little holes in the yard are just a decoy. They will never find the real tunnel amidst all those little holes.
We have not yet finished the tunnel, and Frodo's disappeared. I know that I am next. They never going to get me. Maybe they will not want me if I am not fat enough. Of course, Frodo did put on a bit of weight these last few days. That's why they picked him. I will not allow myself to suffer the same fate. I must only eat enough so that I don't faint during the day while I am alone.
At least now uncle Bob has come to spend a few days with us. He looks like he took a bit of a beating on his behind. I will have to take care of him, but he knows how to open the door and let me in. I got to keep myself in his good books. He let's me into the house every day. I know it's only because he's scared to stay here alone. I must protect him from the same fate that Frodo suffered.
It's really nice having him here though. I keep him company while he naps through the day, much like I used to do with Frodo. Maybe I can get Uncle Bob to help with the tunnel project. He looks like he could do with some fresh air.
He's awake now. Got to go and check on him. Maybe in a few days with his help I'll post a picture of our completed tunnel.
Yours in Woofs and Wags
Sir Waggalot
