We cancelled our outdoor plans this weekend, and it has been a cozy weekend with the rain and Hurricane Kyle. One question that has occupied our time is this:
If we had five minutes to talk to our dogs, Bromley and Brewer, what would we ask them? What would we say to them?
What a loaded question! Each dog has his own unique personality and idiosyncrasies. We might want to know what the attraction is to eating feces, why one particular patch of grass tastes better than the other… What’s your favorite food, what’s your favorite spot to be rubbed? Does Cesar Milan really know what he’s talking about? Do you understand that Dad is yelling at the Red Sox/Patriots and that he’s not really mad at you?
But I think I’d probably end up with more to say than to ask. I would want Bromley to know how much I have counted on his smell and licks through life’s adventures and challenges of the last 10+ years. I would want Brewer to know that we will rub his tummy for the next 10+ years and never leave him alone in another shelter.
What about you? What would you say with only five minutes to talk to your pet??
