This am probably the greatest adventure you has ever been told
It were a dark and stormy morning.
Me and my buddy Ben knewed that we had figured out where them dinosaurs was living.
For a week we has been smelling and looking.
We knowed there were only one place left for them to be.
We does our equipment check.
Ben am very stylish. He was wearing his safari jacket. It has pockets. If I had me pockets I'd fill them full of treats!
Ben used them pockets to keep his extra special elephant catching weapons!
I double checked: I had me teeth and my feets.
I were ready.
Ready to hunt me some DINOSAURS!!
It were raining. That am good for dinosaur hunting.
They is very very big and they don't make no bath tubs that am dinosaur sized. The only time them dinosaurs gets cleaned up is when it rains. They has to run outside with they brushes, soaps and shampoo get all lathered up and then rinses it all off.
With the noise from the rain and with all that dinosaurs singing in the showers they can't hear you sneaking up on them!
And when they gets soaps in they eyes them old dinosaurs can't see you!
David had him a good idea! I know, I couldn't believes it either. He says, “Shelby, if you takes a bath then the dinosaurs can't smell you either!”
It were a good idea. But I hates baths so I ran outside and took me a dinosaur style shower!
You has to be very smart like me to hunt dinosaurs and to gets out of having baths!
So Ben and me started to hunt!
It were very exciting.
We was deep in the woods. There weren't no people. People am afraid of dinosaurs so not seeing no people meant we was getting closer.
Suddenly Ben whispers to me, “Look up there. I smells a dinosaur! But I smells it up high!”
I told you that even if Ben can't see with his eyes he am a great nose smelling seeing dog, cause he were right!
Up on the roof there were a DINOSAUR! IT WERE A FLYING DINOSAUR!!
I knows all about you doubting Wilburs and Doubting Steffis. You is saying, “Shelby! That is not a dinosaur! That is just a big bird!”
OH YEAH!
Look.
<-- Look right there. I think we can all says that am a bird.
Now goes back and look at the flying dinosaur.
Notice anything different?
A BIRD AM NOT AS BIG AS A HOUSE! It has a tiny little bitty beak and not a big old mouth full of sharp teethes!
Ben whispers at me some more, “Shelby, you jumps up there and catches that dinosaur!”
I whispered back, “Ben, that flying dinosaur am on top the house! I can't jumps that high!”
Ben whispered, “I thought you were tough Shelby!”
Just then this GIANT DINOSAUR COMES RUNNING OUT!
It shouted at us in this great big voice that made the trees shake!
“WHO HAS COME INTO MY HOUSE! I WILL BEAT YOU UP!”
I yelled right back at him, “I is Shelby and I has come to beats you up and to catches you!”
That dinosaur said, “You is Shelby? The great dinosaur hunting dog?”
I said, “Yes I is! Put 'em up!”
And that big old dinosaur just turned around and ran away as fast as he could.
Me and Ben were chasing him but every time we'd get close he'd yell real loud and run even faster! He was running through fences and trees.
Ben and me had to stop chasing him. We was laughing too hard to keeps running!
While we was laughing and making each other laugh even harder by pretending to be a scared dinosaur that big old dinosaur come back with his friends!!
This guy was really really big!
He said, “I understand that you are Shelby the great dinosaur hunting dog! I stopped taking my shower so I could come to fight you!”
Now this dinosaur was about a kajillion times bigger than me! So you know what I did. I said, “I always likes me a good fight in the morning! Lets go!”
Oh it were a terrible good fight! He was big but I am so fast and I has such sharp teeth. We was fighting for about half a day. Ben was running around shouting, “Get him, Shelby! Give him one in the bread basket!”
When some of that dinosaurs buddies would try to jump in and help that dinosaur Ben was right on him biting and snarling telling them cheating dinosaurs, “We'll have a fair fight here boys or you'll have to deal with me and Shelby!”
We was fighting and fighting real good. I has to say this that dinosaur he weren't no quitter!
All of a sudden this guy here comes flying down. This place is pretty big for people and dinosaurs flying around is all I have to say. But this guy comes flying down kind of shouting and singing, “Here I come to save the day!”
And I shouts back at him, “I don't need no saving! I is winning this fight!”
“I can see that,” the flying guy said, “I'm here to save that poor old dinosaur!”
Then Ben shouts at him, “Don't you know that is Shelby! She'll fight you as soon as this dinosaur says UNCLE!”
The flying guy says, “That's THE Shelby?! The Shelby?!?!?!”
Ben says, “Darn tooting!” Ben says a lot of stuff like that. I have no idea what he means.
And the flying guy says, “Sorry Mr. Dinosaur! You is on your own! I can't fight Shelby!” And he flew away twice as fast as he got there he left!
When he heard that flying guy the dinosaur said, “Oh no, no one can help me! I can't beat you Shelby. You are the greatest fighting dog in the world. I say, ”UNCLE“! I will let you tame me and do what you tell me to.”
You can see I was pretty tired but I could have fought 3 more dinosaurs easy!
When the other dinosaurs saw this big guy say uncle they was all scared! Ben barked at them and chased them into a cage!
While Ben was herding him this one guy here says, “I am sure glad I didn't have to fight Shelby or you Mr Ben! You're the toughest two dogs I've ever seen!”
Ben is the kind of guy who just sticks to business. While he was herding them dinosaurs into a cage he stopped and caught him an ELEPHANT!
He were very proud of that!
I still has no idea why Ben caught him a cow. I figure he were just hungry.
Matter of fact I KNOWS he was hungry!
He wanted to start right in and eat that big dinosaur's toes!
I said, “Ben, this dinosaur has fought me pretty good. I don't think we should eat his toes.”
Ben said, “But Shelby, you can just smells how delicious they is going to taste!”
“I know, Ben,” I says, “But you has to admit he were a great fighting dinosaur. I think we should not eat his toes and let him be our friend.”
Ben thought a couple of minutes. I know, Ben is the only boy I has ever met who thinks!
Then he says, “You're right Shelby. We won't eat his toes and maybe we can go off and have more adventures!”
And the big dinosaur, who I hasn't named yet said, “YAY! I is so glad you isn't going to eat my toes! That would hurt! Even If I grows back new ones it hurts when people bites off your toes!”
So we is now all friends and everybody knows I is the greatest dinosaur fighting dog in the world!

Shelby,
I am really mad! I can't believe you didn't call ME, your favorite brother, to go dinosaur hunting with you!! I was so mad when I saw those dinosaurs last night that I went and chased a skunk in the yard! That got me in BIG trouble with my mom, and then I had to get a bath!!
I might feel better if you send me some dinosaur toes.

Dear Robin & Blue,
Shelby & Ben left you guys at home? Where did Ben get his jacket? It's a cool jacket. Do you guys have one like it?
Make sure you ask for some dinosaur toes, too!

Shelby
You and Ben did a good job chasing the dinosaurs. They is very very very BIG. We don't see them around here. I think your brother and sisters, mother and uncles just make too much noise and scares them away. You is very brave. Poor Jimmy, you must learn the difference between dinos and skunks, but then again you is a boy and that is problem enough to overcome. Lots of hugs to all Gramma. PS Don't chase those dinosaurs down here, we don't want them.

DUH! I KNOW the difference between dinosaurs and skunks! I met Bronty. I was mad that night and I don't like anyone in my yard unless I invite them over, so I had to chase out whoever was there, and it was a stinky skunk!
Send dinosaur toes!
