think he could have gotten into any trouble no hold on don't you worry a pretty head about Jerry he'll get here Patsy mom told me that you found yeah he was having a wonderful time sniffing around the ashes I was afraid he'd get run over with all those wagons and things so I locked him up in my place I tried to feed him but he acted funny I guess he's not feeling so well poor little mutt all that excitement of doing his act and everything what do you mean doing his act didn't you hear no well Rags followed bumps into the ring last night and went through a routine that had the audience laughing so they were practically in the aisle you don't mean it yes I do I heard Mr. Reynolds either they were going to put the dog in the act bumps was pleased pink I never saw anyone so surprised as bumps when he found that dog following him he was crazier than usual trying to get that pup out of the ring what a true with that clown is best in the business I laugh so I cried and had to do my makeup all over again before going on with my own act he's a cute dog all right funny thing he wouldn't eat I got him a nice bone from the cook's tent Jason is 20 minutes of three Jerry's not here yet he won't come without that dog sure he will know we won't Jason I know he worships that dog he give up the circus and everything for it and you've got the dog and he doesn't even know it you've just got to find him Jason well I have no idea where to look I say just a minute hey taxi yeah just a minute listen Patsy I'll cruise around town in that taxi for a few minutes I might just happen to see him
