If your pet could talk, what would be the first thing it says?

I imagine Buddy’s first words would be:

“Let’s get one thing straight. You didn’t rescue me. I rescued you. Now, about that cheese in the fridge…”

He’d probably follow that with a detailed list of complaints. His meals are always late, the squirrels are clearly trespassing, and nobody appreciates how exhausting it is to protect the house from delivery drivers.

Then he’d curl up next to me, look me straight in the eye and say, “By the way, this is my side of the bed.”

With love
