The Bones and the
Bladder
Neck and neck they walk up the hill: the old dog and her old bones
and the old lady and her old
bladder.
Pant, pant, wobble, wobble go the old bones.
Huff, puff, wiggle, wiggle goes the old bladder.
Like the tortoise and the hare.
Bones is winning because Bladder has to take a field trip into the
woods.
Bones waits patiently to resume the walk.
Bladder is relieved and picks up speed.
Bones trots patiently behind, waiting for Bladder's next field
trip.
On and on they go, the challenge of the race calling them.
Who will win?
Bones rests while Bladder visits the next woods.
Both are revived and the race is tied.
There are eyes: human, animal and insect watching and judging.
They reach the top of the hill and turn around for the descent.
It's a dead heat!!
Here they come: Bones and Bladder, neck and neck down the hill.
Looks like Bones is winning!
Bladder leaves for the woods again.
The judge is waiting!
Bones wins!!
Bladder comes in a limping second.
Bones victory trophy is a milk bone
Bladder takes runner-up for a cup of coffee.
This is dedicated to all the dog walkers
who must "visit" the woods.
