My first best friend

After moving to Laingsburg, MI, I met my first best friend. He lived next door to me and we were the same age and went to the same school. We hung out at school and then after school. I was at that time 4 years old. We made up adventures and were always outside, not like kids today, who are inside playing video games by themselves and have no social skills. He had two doberman's who were trained to protect the house and the perimeter of the house. We were told never to go into their cages when they were locked up and to never let them in the house when his parent's weren't home from work. You think we listened, nope. We decided one day that it would be a good idea to go into the cages with these trained to kill Doberman's. Somehow we tricked these dogs to go to the other side of the cage and we got in the cage and jumped in the hole that they dug and put a piece of plywood over us. After the doberman's figured out we were in the cage and in the hole with the plywood over us, they proceeded to try to get to us. We were laughing the whole time and taunting them to get us. Those dogs dug like I have never seen dogs dig before, all the while growling and foaming at the mouth. His older sister heard this noise and came out to the cage to see what was going on and screamed at us to get out before they got to us. She actually had to go in and get steaks to get the dogs to the other side of the cage so we could get out fast. We both got out unharmed and didn't see why his older sister was upset, it was all fun and games to us. Another time, we decided to let these two doberman's in the house with us. We thought it would be fun to have these dogs chase us around the house. So we let them in and they began to chase us after we taunted them to chase us. We were laughing the whole time running from them, while they were growling and bearing their teeth and trying to bite at our feet. We knew a secret though, we knew that they were trained not to jump on the waterbed in his parent's bedroom, so when we needed a break, we ran into the bedroom and jumped on the waterbed and stood in the middle while the dogs were at the edge trying to bite us. Again, we were laughing and taunting them more. Again, his older sister heard this and came up and took the dogs back out to the cages, again we couldn't understand why she was upset, it was all fun and games to us. We then thought after the dogs were taken away from us to play with, that it would be fun to climb on top of his parent's dresser in the bedroom and jump off onto the waterbed. I can't imagine how close that bed was to bursting. Another time, we climbed a big walnut tree and I was dared to jump from the limb we were on to the rope swing that was about 5 feet or less away. I said sure, but I wanted his lucky rabbit's foot that he always carried around, it was blue. He agreed and I jumped, just barely making it, but made it. That broke the ground for him to start jumping from the limb since I made it.
