Rooster 1 — Rusty here. Feeling sort of brave since I am sitting in the Navigator position – normally occupied by Queen Natasha the Evil.

Rusty 2 — Though you have to watch your back here just in case a QNTE decides she wants her spot back – NOW.

Rusty 3 — So I decided it was safer to take the hu-dad’s seat.

Rusty 4 — Hu-dad did complain that some puppy got muddy paw prints all over his seat.

Rusty 5 — So I looked and looked and looked, but I never saw who was putting those paw prints on everything.

Hu-Dad-LOVE these way back Wednesdays to see the dogs of the Herd before I was lucky enough to find your special group. Rusty was such a great boy and DID you ever find out who put those muddy pawprints on your seat?-LOL

Stay in the driver’s seat, Rusty. If the Queen gets really mad, just knock the car into gear and hit the gas. It will throw her off balance and you can jump out the window to safety. Bonus is as long as you are in that seat, you are protecting hu-dad from that dirty paw-printer!

It sounds like you will need an investigator to figure out your mystery. The case of the muddy paw prints!

Must have been the Queen, Rusty.

We didn’t know you were old enough to drive. Can you come take us for a drive?

Ha ha ha! Rusty, I think they should hire a P.I. to try to figure out who left those paw prints.
