Marcel, age 2

My name is Marcel. My family says I follow them around like a puppy dog because I am a puppy dog. I know I am very helpful. When the cat needs to be chased, I chase it. If someone walks by our house, I make sure everyone within miles knows. When anyone drops food, I’m there to clean it up. Once, when my dad was fixing something on the roof, I knew he would require my assistance. So I jumped out the window to see, but no one told me the roof was slanted. This is what happened: My momentum is carrying me toward the edge of the roof... There’s no time to hit the brakes... Oh, nooo! I’m flying... This is great! Yikes! Time to land...  Umph! Is this Heaven? Oh, wait a second. This is our backyard. Whew! I hope our security cameras captured me flying because I don’t want to try that again.
