I know she's looking. |
I can
always tell when Omar Blue is up to something. He’ll pretend to be busy but tries
to keep my attention. “Okay Omar, what is it?” I asked. He said, in that way we
have of communicating, “Would you like to come with me to the playground, Ma?” not
“Would you take me to the playground, Ma?” but I knew that was of no significance.
Something was up.
“Why
would I want to go to the playground right now Omar?” I asked. “Because you won’t
believe what’s about to happen,” he said.
Omar
then told me about a group of super intelligent babies that have agreed to help
him and his pack search out mistreatment of animals. They are always in the
parks or traveling places with their mommies and daddys and get to see a lot.
They are called the Baby Commandos.
When
we got to the playground it was pretty empty. Then he rode up. The Baby leader,
Lil’ Commander Seth Cheatham. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I had to take this
picture. I started over but Omar stopped me, saying we can’t be seen, because
parents are always watching.
I see my contacts now. Over and out. |
I should
have known even this wasn’t enough! Two K9 Town puppies came on the scene.
Playing it cool. One looking out, one looking down. Omar called them the
Sparrow pups. They would get the new information. Rottie Brady, the K9 Town
professor and schoolmarm Poodle Sophie had taught them well.
He sees us. Let's go! |
They
ran over to the baby Commander, all three pretended to play for awhile, then
off they went running. Omar said Rhodesian Ridgebacks Koffe and Tee were
waiting to take them back to K9 Town, where they would wait for him.
We
couldn’t get home fast enough. I wanted to go to K9 Town too, but no matter how
hard I thought about it, nothing happened this time. I think Omar had something
to do with that. I now knew as much as he wanted me to about the Baby
Commandos.
He
couldn’t say, “Bye Ma” fast enough when we got home. He was off like a shot.
