Finn and the Fatflyingsquirrels

On a rainy Saturday Curlmom Curldad, Roly and I went down to the school.  We got to the quiet end of the field where they usually let roly go and i run on the double-long leash.
But today, since it was rainy and empty, they actually let me off leash, so i could run too - and run i did! it was FANTASTIC: over to the right behind the littlekid rooms, then over to the left to look through the fence, then over to Roly, farther and faster and farther and faster... and then i spotted, way across the grass, some grey hugethings, moving slowly away.
I realized that as i went toward them they started to move away from me, and the faster i ran, the faster they moved. It was irresistible! I ran, they moved, i ran some more, they started to lift off, half running half flying, onto the blacktop.  I cornered and kept following, i'm sure i was gaining on them. I could hear shouting behind me, my name called and whistles, but they must have been cheering for me to go faster, so on i chased.  The bigflying things lifted off - i was almost up to them going faster than i've ever gone and they soared over the fence! it took all my braking power not to crash. whew!
when i looked around i saw Roly, and Curlmom and Curldad calling my name, so i ran back to them.  they were so glad to see me! I agree, i am a great chaser of... what were they...
Since i only chase squirrels, those things must be Fatflyingsquirrels, right?

We've been dried off, dinner's been served, i'm quite tired now.
Finn, thinking the outside can take care of itself tonight...
