[Dailydrool] The World According to Norm - I am on parole

[Sandi Wittenberg]

It's me again - Norm!

After a long series of parole hearings and depositions from credible
experts, i.e. Granny Pat and Aunt Melissa (is that right, Nigel ??), Mom has
finally put me on parole.  That means I actually got to go into the BIG yard
and play for a while with Johnny and Opie this morning before it got too
hot.  Of course, the ever vigilant Parole Office (MOM) was watching my every
move.  If I even thought about the BBH game, she got out the cuffs and
shackles - I mean collar and lead - and threatened to put me back in jail.
So, Johnny laid on the patio and Opie and I barked at him and ran in circles
around him.  Hoagie thought we were crazy, so he went and laid on the picnic
table.  I don't know how he and Johnny get up on the picnic table - I can't
even jump up onto the couch.  I still have to use the basset stool.  Mom
says that I am a lead butt - I don't think that is very nice!  Like she
should talk - I haven't seen her jumping up on anything lately!  I think my
"jumpers" just haven't arrived yet.  Mom says that they might come with my
brains - hmmmmmm - she is a little testy today.

Gotta go - Dad's home and I think he will let me go out and play again.  The
Parole Officer has a headache - probably from Opie and me barking - so she
is hidin' out in the computer room where Dad put her air conditioner in
today.

Drools to ya!
