FFHT for January!!

It's Fractured Fryday Hairy tails time again and even though my tail isn't very hairy  I do like to join in.  So here goes!!!!!!

Fair dinkum ...... talk about a drongo!!  Picture this in your head if you can. It was New Year's Eve. Mum and Dad who, by the way, are as old as anyone you've EVER met, had gone to bed.  What the heck?????  It was New Year's Eve ..... my first that I could really remember.  I was just a pup for that first one.  I WASN'T going to spend my FIRST New Year's Eve in BED!!  I decided I wasn't EVER going to miss out on a New Year's Eve no matter how OLD I got.  I waited until I knew both Mum and Dad were well and truly out to it.  It's easy to tell ...... they both snore like you wouldn't believe.  Crikey ..... the things I have to put up with. THEN ...... out I went ..... through the doggy door ..... up to the fence ... over the fence ..... THEY don't know I can do that ..... it's easy really .... it's not VERY high ... THEN off to the beach!!!  I know the way ..... we go EVERY day .... twice!!  I made a New Year's Eve resolution to do this EVERY year.
What a hoot!!!  Who knew it would be like this??  The ocean was beautiful. I'd NEVER seen it at night before. Chester and the Princess's moon was shining and it's reflection was dancing on the waves.   There were peeps everywhere and some of my mates too. You know ..... the one's with YOUNG Mum's and Dad's.  Stella was there!!  She's my best beach pal.  They were having a BBQ .... ON THE BEACH!!  How good was that??  I hung with them. What a night I was having. Great company, great food ... I couldn't wait for midnight and THE FIREWORKS I had heard so much about. BUT ..... just before midnight ..... you'll NEVER guess what happened ... Mum and Dad appeared!!!!!    OMD ...  I've NEVER seen them so upset ..... not even when I got attacked by the moron drongo man's dog.  There was steam coming out their ears and all.  They said I could have been killed on the road. They said LOTS of things and they sure thanked Stella's Mum and Dad for phoning them.  I just knew I was in for it.  They dragged me up to the car and put me in the BACK .... IN MY CRATE!!!!!!  Covered it and me with a big dark blanket and left me there while they went back to the beach to bring in the new year with Stella's Mum and Dad. THEY saw the fireworks. I only heard 'em. Crikey they were loud.  I didn't like it at all.  I was scared in the dark, all by myself. I had a lot of time to think over what I'd done. I s'pose I shouldn't have gone off like that by myself. Crikey ... that was the worst New Year's Resolution that I ever made, aye??  AND it was the first.  I sure learned my lesson there. I won't be doing that again in a hurry!!  WHAT A DRONGO, AYE?????? 

Wanna run .... Love, Charlie.
