Alert

 You know something?  I've always wonder what a lert was.  SHE says she doesn't know.

What I do know is that she tricked me, because I did see a leetle tiny treat in her hand, and I wanted it.

I got it too, because I look alert.  Or like a lert.  Whatever that is.

No walks today because the sun disappeared in a fit of the sulks, so me and HER did spend time in the garden again.  Me barking at him next door - which actually worked a treat, because when I did that, she got down off her ladder (don't ask, it's a long story), and did come and play ball with me.
