I've been tagged!

Asta tagged Keeley for this. Here are the rules:

Rules:
1. Grab the nearest book of 123 pages or more.
2. Open it to page 123.
3. Find the first 5 sentences and write them down.
4. Then invite 5 friends to do the same.

The book is: DOG ON A SURFBOARD by Billy Lambert
(FYI, it's about an Irish Terrier)

P123.... "When it was obvious that Kerry wasn't coming, their raft progressing in its drift down the river, there was no being lulled this time into false complacency: once burned hopefully forever-after forewarned.
They watched the sky for any return of Helen Harpy or for any of her feathered clan. They watched the shoreline for any reptile or cat sliding down the bank in pursuit or intercept. They watched the water not only for the likes of Kerry in sneak attack but for piranhas, eels, rocks, and floating debris.
"Just because a branch or piece of wood isn't visable," said juliet in a place where acoustics made her soft voice audible above the flow of the river, "doesn't mean it isn't there.""

Keeley and I would like to tag our blogging dog friends: Lenny, Jackson, Butchy & Snickers, Ralph, and Lacylulu to take this challenge. We agree with Asta, that it would be a fun glimpse into what is being read in the homes of our fellow dog bloggers.

I actually used to try reading to Keeley just like he was a little human child, but he found it to be extremely boring.

We have a tendency to fall asleep, too, when our mom reads to us. She doesn't have much time for reading since she started needle felting. Also, Captain High Pockets is keeping her really busy. She has to watch him every minute! Congrats on that new little sister you will be getting! Everyone our mom talked to about getting another Airedale, said it should be the opposite sex to avoid conflicts.

Aire-hugs,
Poppy, Penny & Pockets

Hi Keeley,

That sounds like a great book! Mom reads to me, but I don't listen to her. I always fall asleep. He he! Less then one week 'till your party, YEAH!

Your pal,
