Say Hello To My Little Friend

I admit it, I'm lonely. After Grandma's visit last weekend, I had big hopes for fun this week with my new fence. My dreams were dashed early on when my people decided they apparently had better things to do than play with me. Sure, one of them would show up every few hours to go for a quick walk, play a short game of fetch, or throw some food around.

Do we have quality time together? I think not. No leisurely walks around the pond, no hide-and-seek. Nothing. We don't even talk anymore.

To add insult to injury, when Ryann came home late last night she had the nerve to give me a toy. Can you believe it? A toy! What was she thinking? Could the love and companionship I crave from my people really be replaced by a mere plastic toy?

Yes. Yes it can.

I now have the most wonderful friend in the world - Pinny.

At first, he had a lot to say while we played. After a few hours of wrestling, though, he got very quiet. I understood, since we were beyond the point of needing words to communicate.

My people became jealous when they realized that Pinny was now my BFF and they took him away when it was time for bed. It wasn't a big deal, since I snuck Pinny onto my pillow as soon as they were asleep. He hasn't left my side since. He knows that no matter where he is thrown, I'll always come get him.

Now, spending the day without my people won't be so bad. In fact, I'll even look forward to it being so quiet you can hear my Pinny drop.

This friendship is not sponsored by JW Pet Company - but easily could be in exchange for a lifetime supply of dog toy companionship.
