Over the weekend, my front yard became a kids playground. It started when a group of neighborhood kids spotted Turtle and Piggy in the yard. They wanted to pet the dogs, but they were scared. Surprisingly enough, many people in my neighborhood get off the sidewalk when they see my dogs coming. Finally the kids got the courage to come into my yard. The dogs immediately jumped on them and licked their faces. One of the boys admitted that he had never held a dog before. When they realized that Turtle and Piggy were friendly, the kids played fetch and chased them around the yard. One of the boys noticed an old fashioned lawn mower between my house and the next. He politely asked if he could use it. I graciously allowed him to cut the grass while I stood around feeling like Tom Sawyer. When the job was finished, they spotted the hose. One of the boys grabbed it and doused the others. They took turns spraying each other before leaving to get changed. They promised to come back soon.
