A Game with the Name
A Game with the Name by Fantasia Dog I’ve been sad a bit lately. We’ve had lots of really hot days and lots of rain. Lots of afternoons, it’s been too hot for my walk, or it’s been too rainy for my walk and I’ve missed out. The human tried to cheer me up by…… Continue reading A Game with the Name

One thing did bother me. They moved…… Continue reading Fierce Kitty

Bald

I was more comfortable even though weather was really hot. I started to wonder if all…… Continue reading Bald
Responsible
Responsible by Fantasia Dog The human was going out. She looked at Princess and me and said, “OK who’s the most responsible?” I knew how to show her I was responsible.
