     just laid down there to rest when a car came speeding by.     In an instant, Tippy jumped up and raced after it, barking.     Nosey followed after him, baaing.  They chased the car     over the hill, then came back and flopped down beside me.            After a while, another car came, and away they raced,     barking and baaing.  But this time the car slowed down as     the people stared out the window and pointed at Nosey.     The next car stopped completely.  The people ignored     Tippy, but they pointed and laughed at Nosey.            The stopped car seemed to confuse Tippy.  He was     trying to chase the car away, and it wasn’t scared.  He sat     down and looked back at me for help.  He didn’t know     what to do with one if he caught it.  He sniffed the car for a     minute, and seemed to get an idea.  He raised his leg and     marked it as one he had already caught.  The car sped off.            Every day after that, Nosey and Tippy chased cars.     Nosey stayed a good distance off the road, but Tippy     would get up very close to them.  Mom said I needed to     stop him or he would get run over.  I tried, but it was no     use.  The two of them would take off after a car, and I     would run after them yelling.            Daniel saw me and yelled, “Give it up!  You’re     embarrassing us!  It only looks like three idiots chasing     cars instead of two!”
