i have a great idea!

we were finishing up dinner when my son turns to me and says, "i have a great idea!"

"what son?" i ask.

"let's tie a hot dog to a string and tie it to me so the dogs can chase me around the yard!" he said.

not what i was expecting.

for some reason we agree. we do not have hot dogs, so we settle on bologna.

the officer ties it onto my son.

the officer give the dogs a piece of bologna to "get a little taste." and holds the dogs while my son comes out the back door. he starts running around the yard, but the dogs have no idea he has the "meat"!

my son lets the dogs sniff the bologna and he's off.

look at one of the dogs licking his chops!

the bologna fell off and the dog got it. i almost peed my pant laughing so hard!

my daughter didn't want to be left out.

she knew what to do. she called the dogs over to the door and let the dogs sniff the chicken.

the officer held the dogs and she came out running.

(i think you can click on the picture and see her facial expression better, the dog's, and the piece of chicken right under her left hand.)

one of our dogs took after her. when she rounded her dad, a piece of the chicken fell off. we were all laughing so hard.

now i know you are saying, "who ties a piece of meat to their kids so their dogs can chase after them for entertainment". apparently the "island" makes to do strange things.
