The Conversation
Don't tell Mom but I'm gonna try to get one of those birds.
Daisy, you'd better not. Mom will be really mad. Those birds are her pals.
Aw, come on. I just want to chase them. Maybe catch a few feathers.
Look kid, do you see that thing hanging in the tree over there? That's a feeder. It had seed in it. Those birds you want to chase get food there. Mom likes to watch the doves, blue jays, sparrows, finches and wrens. And don't forget those red birds too.
Yeah, but I bet I could catch them. I've been watching them flying. I can run really fast.
I don't care how fast you think you can go, those birds will fool you. Besides, do you really want a mouth full of feathers.
Man, Lady, you're no fun. What's that red thing hanging in the other tree?
That's a hummingbird feeder. Don't even bother, you don't stand a chance.
So, I can't have the birds? What about those butterflys? You know those ones that keep flying around the flowers?
Nope. Fast as you are you won't get them either.
Ok, Miss Kow It All Lady, what can I chase?
Well, I guess you could try to catch the squirrels. They always try to steal the bird seed.
Wow, that's what I'll do! I'll go chase the squirrels. Mom would like that, right?
Sure kid, just keep thinking you can catch those squirrels. I'm going to take a nap. Don't bother me any more, ok?

Oh! Yes! Chase the squirrels! We caught one once because there were four of us working together. Mom didn't let us keep it though. She is just no fun sometimes. Maybe we can come over and help you catch a squirrel!

Did you catch a bird yet? That would be so cool! I bet I could catch one if Linda would let me. I'd like to catch one of the woodstorks that visits, but Linda said it would bite my nose off with it's huge woody bill.
Big Wags,
Isabella
