Gail: Shenart, I’ve got to hurry up and get you home. I think it’s against the law to even have you as a pet.
Shenart: Nobody will recognize me in my disguise. Before we go home, I want something to eat.
Gail: I’ll stop and get you some Good Friday’s Chicken. That’s your favorite.
I drive up into Good Friday’s Chicken to order chicken for Shenart. When I do, Shenart wants to joke the lady at the window.
Shenart: Hey, Ma’am! Please make sure the chicken is cooked. The last time we ordered chicken, it got up off of our plates and ran. (Shenart gives a silly laugh).
Gail: Okay, Shenart! Enough with the jokes.
When I received the chicken, I drove Shenart back home. Shenart ate like a pig. His stomach was swollen when he was finished. I ate some too. All I wanted to do was lie down. I got into bed to take a nap. Then Shenart wants to take a nap too. He follows me into my room.
Gail: Shenart! Where do you think you're going? You can't sleep in here with me.
Shenart: Why not?
Gail: Because the last time you slept in here with me, I couldn't sleep comfortable with you. Your tail was wrapped in the covers, and I woke up freezing because you had the covers. Wrestling with you, the bed broke down, and I can't afford another one. You've got to sleep in your own bed.
Shenart: Fine then! I'm going to take my big behind back to the shed.
Later on in the day after a nap, I went to sit down on the couch to watch TV. I got the remote, and when I went to sit down, I hit the floor. I didn't realize the couch was gone.
Gail: Man, that rascal done took the couch! If I don't do something with him, he's going to have everything out there in that shed with him. I'm going to look around one day, and I won't have anything for me. I'm going to show him something! Shenart!
(Shenart Laughs)
