When Dreams Come Real

I didn't tell you before because I knew you would think I was silly or I was under the influence of that stuff they give you at the vets. I know it's not good stuff but it makes you go all light headed and see those lovely big bowls of fish floating around.

but while I was there this absolutely huge thing came in. It was like a horse only skinnier and hairier. When I went to speak to it, it barked and the whole building shook and I thought I was going to be deaf for life. The nurse lady said not to worry it because it was poorly and needed to rest. If something that big says it's going to rest - I'm not about to be the one to argue with it.

It was just around then that I had my injection and went to sleep. When I woke up there was no sign of this gigantic thing and I thought I might have dreamed it but I knew what I had seen.

Anyway I was up on the greenhouse roof talking across the fence to my sister Bluebell when I saw it again. It came by with two two legs and it was on a leash. I think it must have been taking them for a walk as they were running along behind and looking very exhausted. I guess whatever it had done to it, it was OK. I don't think they gave it anything to stop it growing though.

I said to Bluebell had she seen it and her poor little eyes nearly popped out of her head. She's a lot smaller than me you know and these things tend to worry the girls more than they do us fellows. I told her not to worry and I would see it off if it came up onto our end of the world fence. She seemed a bit more relaxed.

I'm glad I wasn't dreaming but it is a it big. Don't tell Bluebell but if it does come up on our fence I'm not going to tell it to get down. I might run up that banana tree and hide.
