A dog's life?

Conversation this afternoon. (or not)

"Mom, can we buy a huge pumpkin?"

"Uh, yeah, dinner will be ready in a couple of hours. You can wait."

"Mom, we REALLY need a BIG pumpkin."

"Okay, I will talk to you later, then..."

Several minutes pass by......

"Mom! Quick! Come on out to the front porch!"

(Heart pounding.....What now?)

Murphy: "Mum, if I EVER hear again how *lucky* I am to be a "dog"........Now, kindly REMOVE me from this bucket!
