Lucy’s Life
CONTEST SUBMISSION:
Lucy peers out the back door. “Hey, squirrel, stop eating my parents' tomato garden.”
The squirrel faces Lucy. “Since when do you talk, little dog.”
“I bark because that’s what dogs are expected to do with humans. I could ask why you only talk to animals, but I’m sure the answer is the same.” Lucy puts her paws on the door and growls a warning.
“Fine, I’m leaving. I’ll go scavenge in the woods.”
“There’s my Lucy,” says her mom as she enters, and Lucy jumps on her legs.
If only her mom knew what’s going on in Lucy’s life.
