My people always seem to be in a hurry. What’s the rush? There are so many smells to figure out. Sounds echo in my head. I need to know what they are!.
My people keep me inside most of the day. When I do get out they want to walk, walk, walk. They expect me to pee or poo each time they do. That’s why I always hold back just a little pee. Seems to make them happy.
All I’d like to do sometimes, not every time, is to sit and enjoy the day. Like when those other people’s young ones are out playing. I need to sit and see what they do. I can’t bounce that big orange ball, but I can chase it really well! I want to play, too!
Like the other day. The biggest of my people wanted to keep walking and walking and walking. We did the big loop. We usually don’t do that. I’m not sure where I’m going? What if they take me and leave me? I’m a little too young to be left alone. I know I’m big-er. It’s not like when I was just a pup.
And why does the big female always call me her little boy? I’m not a boy!
Well, at least I’m still eatin’ good. And I get to rest when I want.
It could be worse.
