***When it is a dry day, we will attempt to check and replace the boxes for this letterbox. As for now, 1,2 and 5 seem to be missing****

One day, I decided that instead of walking my good old pal, Spike, around the block like we did everyday, I would walk him through the park. What an adventure we had that day. Spike was EVERYWHERE!
We started out by a big gray electrical box. Spike noticed that there were 4 sprinkler control boxes near it in the ground. Of coarse he sniffed each and everyone of them.
Spike caught the scent of a cute little squirrel and chased him over to an Oak Tree… This tree was different from the other trees in the park, not because it was one of the only Oak trees in the park, but because it had a funny little oak bush underneath it.
I gave spike A TREAT because he was being such a good dog. He, being a dog, decided to bury it in the bush somewhere.
Spike always had a thing for flowers. This flower box had three huge rocks in it that Spike decided he wanted to stand on top of them. He left a PAW PRINT in that flower box, but I can’t seem to remember where at.
Spike tugged me over to a chain link fence that separated a house from the park. Spike was once again sniffing around. He pulled his leash over to the other side of the house and sniffed along the wooden fence. He dragged me over to a large overgrown bush in the corner of the two houses, and started to bark at another DOG that lived in one of the houses near that bush.
We continued along the fences until Spike had to stop at a funny looking tree. Spike sniffed all around the tree, and finally decided to relieve himself on it. It reminded me of how, in the movies, dogs would do that on FIRE HYDRANTS. I couldn’t help myself but to laugh.
While we were stopped, I looked around the entire park and noticed how far we had walked. I also noticed that there was a small playground near the end where we had parked our car. This time, I lead Spike over to the playground and sat down on a nearby bench next to a light pole. I hared the teeter-totters going up and down, but I didn’t remember seeing anyone on them. I looked over my right shoulder at them, and noticed a small tree near the edge of the playground. I stood up with Spike and walked over to the tree. I noticed it had a small hole in the front of it that looked as if a squirrel could build a little HOUSE inside of it.
I felt something tug on the leash and noticed that Spike had laid down next to me. I decided it was time to go home and get some rest.
