Raid

9am and the basset people are ready for their Tuesday morning walk. They take half the bassets up to the pond Daddy says not to go to. If they avoid cur dogs and deer and swallows, they’ll make it back home okay. Then they eat. Lou brought the green box cooler: MUG root beers, Brisk iced teas, a Tab soda for Mrs. Muchmore and a Sprite Zero for Jim Gordon. There’s also a box of assorted Dunkin’ Donuts and oatmeal cookies. When they leave, we’ll raid the basset kennel, set off the mouse traps, and scurry off with our treats.
