Don’t Bring Your Dogs When You Visit
V: Really.
Don’t bring your dogs when you visit
Yes, I
love dogs, and I know that your dogs are special -
R: My
pupsies are the cutest-wutest-most-preciousist
Doggies in
the whole while world give mummy
A
kissie-wissie num-num – oh, did Sissy growl at you?
She never
growls at anyone she wouldn’t hurt a fly
You must
have done something to provoke her
Could the
dogs play in your back yard; they love cats
I hope you
don’t mind that we didn’t call beforehand
We just
happened to be in the neighborhood and the dogs
Needed a
break after their long trip and oh!
Prissie
left you a present; isn’t she just the sweetest!
Oh, sorry
about that broken vase; you know
We keep
our house doggie-proof; your furniture
Just isn’t
steady I could find you a new vase
At the
dollar store – your grandmother’s? Really?
I wouldn’t
worry about the cats; they’ll come back
I think
they enjoy being chased; it’s a game to them
Sissie’s sneezing;
I think it’s your musty house
Dogs have
delicate noses, you know
Oh, how
cute – Prissie has just caught a cat!
Don’t you
like dogs? I just don’t understand that
