Part Two of Mr. Ripple's interview with Dr. Dog in de tail???

Question

Dr. Dog

And while Dr. Dog is out front sniffing around the fire hydrant Robert waits in the office.
Ten minutes later:

Dr. Dog: please take up where you left off, you and Shadow were walking to -- Sunday School ?
Robert : that's right, actually the excitement started after the Church service when we were exiting the building.
All of a sudden I heard this loud commotion just outside the Church doors. Men were yelling, Women were squealing , Kids were laughing, well it didn't take long to find out that Ole Shadow was behind all the ruckus going on, actually he was behind this cute little Setter that belonged to Mrs. Jones ----
Dr. Dog: beg your pardon ?
Robert: Oh I'm sorry, cute little Setter that lived with Mrs. Jones.
Dr. Dog: You don't mean they were?
Robert: Yes sir Dr. , Right there in front of God and the whole congregation.
Dr.Dog: were you not mortified ?
Robert: well, given the time and place it was kinda touch and go there for awhile at least until Rev. Ike spoke up and told everyone that it was only part of God's plan and for every one to move along and let Nature take its course. After that Me and Ole Shadow weren't welcome at the First Self Righteous Church anymore, at least Ole Shadow wasn't but I never went back either because,  well you know, you can't go anywhere without your shadow.
Dr. Dog: well, Robert that was quite a tail, ha ha, just a little inside joke.
By the way, where did all this take place?
Robert: A quaint little Town called Sopchoppy.
Dr. Dog: Oh My! Oh My! Tell me you are not talking about Sopchoppy Florida!
Robert: Why yes Dr., that is the place. So you have heard of it have you?
Dr. Dog: Yes I have Robert, that is the place of my birth!
Robert: know way! Are you telling me? It can't be! It just Can't Be!
But you do bear a striking resemblance to Ole Shadow and your Irish ancestry is very evident! This could only mean---- you must be the true heir of Shadow!
Dr. Dog: That's right Robert, it must be true, and my given name is Shade, the son of Shadow.
Robert: Then this must mean?
Dr. Dog, Dr. Shade rather: Yes, Robert, for better or worse, You now belong to me.

Mr. Ripple

Keep soldiering on.  You pared back your sentences, and shortened the length
of your segments.  One of my mistakes I think is going too long----you only have
so long, and if you make it work with a series here, you are a better man than I
sir....lol, but you are.

My main question.  Do you bring a bag and little shovel with you in order to harness,
capture and absquatulate the dogs Bowel Movements should he choose to jettison
on during your stay to see Dr. Dog?

Wait, is the doctor and the dog one in the same?  How do you reconcile this?

Caz :) x · Answer

I read part (1) ... It's a good story, am I right in thinking ..Robert is the farther of Dr, Dog ? 
  Or have I got hold of the wrong end of the stick, am I barking up the wrong tree ? 
 Am I just thinking in Doggery,  as I normally do ?  :)   Very interesting  

  Are you going to write more

? · Answer

great stuff.  as you know already--this is not a poem.  My husband wrote plays back in the 80's  that a small group of friends performed.  In one I was the cucumber girl.  So much fun.  You should put this in the drama section.  you will get a lot better feedback.

Yes, I knew all along he was a S.O.B...he was in truth a shrink,
not a psychiatrist, I promise you. 
[They are frequently by folks, mistaken
 Due to the having same paper qualification].

LOVE how you got the touches down to a `tee`...an entertaining
if near-the-knucklehead poem...my best compliments...a Keeper of a Lesson in (find the word?).
:) a real stinger (:

p.s. This is pure and deliciously good dialogue..you know we do that too here  (tssk tssk)
at times, this passes muster for certain!

`night `night ...

*touches = plural of touchÃ©...this pc bot won`t produce accents,
Alabama-kind, London-kind or touche -kind. (please do not ask me
to elaborate.
The pc situation is `moot`....k??..even the spellcheck spells only in Hi-5 Yan key and I am Yin).
