Puppies

Lulu curiously gazed through the purple wild flowers at her brother Charlie. She wondered if he too felt far from home. Suddenly, the wind blows and Lulu sees the pesky feather she and her brother had been chasing for hours. She breaks into a run towards the feather, Charlie’s nipping at her heels. Lulu can almost taste the sweet victory of beating her brother, yet again. When abruptly, the feather floats above a small stream that cuts a trail through the meadow. Lulu tries to stop, however, Charlie does not realize this and inadvertently knocks her into the chilly water. She lets out a tumultuous yelp and swims to the streams edge. While shaking off the excess water, Lulu decides that one good turn deserves another. She runs through the meadow over to her brother and pushes him into the water. Stunned, Charlie yelps in surprise, then crawls slowly out of the water and stares at his sister. She is laughing at him and rolling around on the ground. Swiftly, Charlie runs over to Lulu and the two wrestle by the waters edge. Lulu has Charlie pinned to the ground, when something catches her attention. It that pesky feather again, it was now floating back over the meadow towards home. She jumps off Charlie and runs full force after the feather. Charlie jumps up, sees what his sister is chasing and the game starts again. He eagerly chases after Lulu, trying his best to beat her to the feather. The two are so intent on catching the feather, neither notices that the feather has led them home. The feather gently lands on top of a rock on the outskirts of their farmhouse. Lulu pounces on the feather and grips it between her teeth. She starts to strut around in front of Charlie, when the dinner bell rings. Lulu lets the feather go, and both puppies run home.
