Prison Overcrowding

We have rights!

We should each get our own cell.

We haven't even had a fair trial.

We are entitled to a jury of our peers!Dogs, cats, hamsters, and other members of the jury, we would like to present the evidence of this case to you. I'm sure that once you hear the facts, you will find that we are not guilty of the charges.
It all started this morning. The big bathtub in the back yard was leaking and some strange man came to fix it. Half way through the job, he left to get a new part. We had been quietly behaving in the house the entire time he was working in the back yard. When he left, the girl went out to inspect the job. Then, the girl opened the back door of the house and let us into the yard to inspect (and poop and pee).
This is what the gate usually looks like when we go in the back yard.

Today, it looked like this.

We didn't know we weren't supposed to go through the door. It was wide open. We thought it was an invitation. If not for the girl's carelessness and negligence, we never would have had the opportunity to explore our neighborhood unsupervised.

Based, on these facts, we are asking you to acquit us. Let us go free!

~~Comet and BLU

the girl adds.....

Comet and BLU left out a few little details. They failed to mention that almost immediately after they ran through the gate, I realized what happened and called them. I called both of them and told them to come. Neither did. In fact, they looked at me and turned and ran the other way. They refused to come back until I got in the car and drove up to them. It was only the open car door that got them to stop their reign of terror on the neighborhood and return home. Based on these facts, you MUST find them guilty as charged.

This is where they belong and for a good long time!
