The dog magazine

I thought Mother had locked Zeta out of our house
I rushed home and found she hadn’t
There were lots of people in front garden
Some peeing on the plants, some looking through the window
I didn’t know what to do
“Should I get a baseball bat and smash the window?” I thought

Later, I was working on dog magazine for dog training
I was struggling with articles
My taxi arrived early
As I left, Mother shouted out the window to ask about a receipt
I told the driver about the magazine and said we wanted to document how Zeta gets to training
He gave me blank receipt

I played a game with a big girl that was a bit like fencing without all the gear
We were stood in a fighting stance and then lunged to stab the opponent
I had a few false starts, but I dodged all her lunges and got her every time
