Meanwhile (back at the ranch), Plum & Stoner rough-housed all day long. First they pulled all the toys out of the toy box; then they piled them on my bed. After about half an hour of playing tug-of-war, Stoner fell off the bed, onto the cedar chest, then down to the floor. Tough guy that he is, he only sustained a little scrape above his right eye, whereas Plum remained unscathed. I then took Stevie and The Ghost for a walk, where we discovered a black snake curled up in one of our bird houses. Such is my life with dogs. Calgon, take me away. (After all of our harrowing experiences, Izzy and I took a nap on the bed.)
