What An Outing! What a Leader! Omar Blue.

I've been so worried. The other day Omar told me about the K-9 Town outing coming up this weekend. He said he felt something was going to happen. "Something good" and "something bad". He said not to worry because he wasn't. He would take care of whatever arose. Well, obviously I worried. But, its over now. I promised to tell as soon as I found out. Some may not know but  Komondor is the name of the breed of canine. Here goes......Chapter 8.

The K-9 Town, USA Outing

(Chapter 8)

Was a beautiful sunny morning

in K-9 Town, USA

they were having a big outing

everyone was at play.

The Elder males were fishing

the females making lunch

the puppies of course playing

oh what a happy bunch.

Now in the pack

there did remain

a restless St. Bernard

he had to go

and take a walk

staying put was just too hard.

As he walked on

he came upon

a fascinating pack

three Elders and four puppies

with strange hair down each back.

He asked them where they came from

they said from far away

he’d take them to his leader

this was their lucky day.

They were so very tired though

more walking would be hard

but they had met a new friend

in Sandy the St. Bernard.

When Sandy got them to the pack

the Elders circled round

said “Sandy, sit them down right here

til Omar Blue is found.”

Omar Blue came in right then

he’d seen them walking up

the St. Bernard was moving fast

holding all four pups.

Sandy, where’d you find them?

They certainly need some care.”

Then poodle Sophie Jean spoke up

“And look at their beautiful hair.”

THE MALE SPOKE

 “I’m Komondor Rasta Kooley

our breed’s from overseas

we settled here some time ago

a place called New Orleans.

I know we may look strange to you

our hair

 some call them dreads

I do admit our long tight locks

do turn a lot of heads.

I travel with my wife and ma

my little puppies too

from what I see

how glad we’d be

to settle down with you.”

  

The four little pups just stood there

as cute as they could be

then one of them started talking

“This ain’t where I wanna be!

I left all my best friends back there

and this place ain’t so hot

if you think I’m gonna like it here

I can tell you now, I’m not.”

Omar Blue just looked at her

then over at Rottweiler Brady

the professor knowing this one was his

said, “You look here young lady.

We have a slew of youngins here

I’m teacher to them all

me and my schoolmarm Sophie Jean

we let them have a ball!

There’ll be none of this attitude

I tell you that today

I’d advise you to start all over,”

he said in his quiet way.

“Your ma and pa

have come too far

for you to act this way

so put your past behind you

and we’ll forget about this display.”

The puppy couldn’t believe it

never been talked to like this

she settled down

then turned around

gave her ma and pa a big kiss.

“Thank you,” said Rasta Kooley’s wife

“She’s needed that for a while

please do let her be in your class

we really like your style.

And this is Rasta Mama

she’s everyone’s delight

her dreams sometimes will help us

her gift of second sight.”

Omar looked each up and down

“I’ve heard of you before

had a friend

some time ago

Pow Wow Komondor.

As strong as steel

from head to heel

and loyal as could be

we were in the K-9 Service

him, Major Diggs and me.

Now Rasta Mama

what is this gift

she’s calling second sight.

We don’t believe in Voodoo

or creatures in the night.”

Rasta Mama looked at him

“I wouldn’t lie to you

sometimes I get a vision

of things that soon come true.

I’d never tell you anything

I think would hurt the pack

I’d use my gift to help you all

and always have your back.

I dreamed

that we would be here

about a month ago

I saw a mighty leader

that I’d be glad to know.

In my dream I also saw

my Kooley at your side

with the others

in your pack

all heads held high with pride.”

It was Pit Bull Margie

who spoke up next

“You females come with us

Let’s leave the males

to tell their tales

sit around and fuss.

We’ll take the puppies

over there

under The Big Oak Tree

where the other puppies are playing

they’ll be just fine

you’ll see.”

When they were gone

the males went on

it was Major Diggs who said,

“When those females finish with them

they’ll be ready for nothing but bed.”

It was then and there

they heard a noise

from way across the bay

about 20 coyotes getting close

what did they want today?

They wouldn’t have given it

a second thought

til they noticed Coyote Red

he wasn’t the leader of the group

but was talking and bobbing his head.

“You all wait here”

the komondor said

“I know they are looking for me

I’ll be right back

but just in case

take care of my family.”

He shot off like a bullet

but the pack ran just as fast

their leader out in front of them

the smallest pulling up last.

Five shepherds ran to the puppies

herded them to the side

and there they’d stay

if it took all day

but there was no need to hide.

Rasta Kooley spoke

to Omar first

“You shouldn’t have brought them here

just something I got to straighten out

and I’ll be back over there.”

He looked around

surprised to find

the females had joined them too

but they didn’t look like females now

just K-9s with something to do!

Rasta Kooley turned

to face the group

that had followed him

all this way

asked “What you scoundrels doing here?

I know you didn’t come to play.”

 

The leader said

“YOU STOLE FROM US

that’s why we’re following you.

The furs you took are ours

so you know what you better do.”

“I have the furs

you right about that

I’m gonna keep um too

we all gonna be

real warm this winter

can’t say the same about you!

I won those furs

fair and square

wasn’t planning on any trouble

It was dumb of you

to raise that bet

then worst when you bet double.

I think you all

should leave now

you really shouldn’t wanna stay

but if you do

I promise you

you won’t forget this day!”

The coyotes were looking

at Rasta Kooley

but more so at his back

they’d never seen anything like them

Omar Blue and His Pack!

Was Coyote Red as usual

talking from behind

“You know Kooley stole

those furs of yours

why you being so doggone kind?”

While Coyote Red was moving up

his pals were moving on.

When he turned to see

them heading out

he knew he’d better be gone.

Rasta Kooley, the Komondor

turned to face the Pack

“I’m sorry I spoiled your outing

we’ll leave and never come back.”

Was Omar Blue who spoke to him

“You spoiled nothing that way.

In fact we found out

more about you

then if we’d talked all day.”

He joined the pack

and started back

so happy that they could stay

he saw his wife

with the female Elders

and knew she felt the same way.

It was late that night

they were packing up

to get back to the den

the shepherds were waking

the puppies up

they’d been knocked out since 10.

Then Rasta Mama came over

to talk to Omar Blue

said, “You’re as great a leader

as rumors say of you.

 
You knew what you were doing

following my Kooley today

you knew those coyotes

would take one look

then want to get away.

And remember the dream

I spoke about

you all together with pride

I saw it in each face today

when your pack was at your side.”

“Thank you Rasta Mama

it’s been a pretty good day

nice to have you

here with us

we’re glad you found the way.

What you saw

was nothing special

that’s just how we react

we face our troubles together

that’s why we’re a mighty pack.”

With all the Elders now listening

Rasta Mama turned to say

“Thank you all

we love it here

at K-9 Town USA.”
