                       SHEP'S BIG CATCH (100 words)

  Shep and me play Frisbee in the park, every day.  He's damn good, too,
but we weren't *at* the park, and 'tweren't daylight.  But when Shep seen
that flyin' saucer come hoovering real low, I couldn't stop him.  Tried
like hell, too. 

  Shep just *jumps*, higher'n I knowed he could.  Clamped onto the tail of
thet saucer like my neighbor's damn Vee-Dubya bumper, and hung on until it
went down hard. 

  That's how y'all discovered Their invasion plans in time. 

  Now, I *did* train him... so I'm right pleased to accept your medal for
Shep, the Dog what Saved the World. 

                                  ***
