Not friends just yet, but trying hard.

Mom, what IS that on my couch?  A small black and white boxer?- Sam

This is close as I am getting, not sure I want to be friends yet with "Buddy". He is not my Buddy.  -Sam

Ok. We are sitting together now. Is this close enough. Do I have to play with him?- Sam

Smell my butt if you like me.- Buddy

Holy Crap -is that a dog or a PONY?!

Into each life, some fear must come.  New neighbors, new dog and  I offered to pet sit before I saw him.  Well, here is their pet (G-man) sitting waiting for me.  Trick or treat?  He is thinking...."Should I do a dumb trick to get a tiny treat, or just kill her and drag the body into the woods and live off it a few days" ( I am still typing, so far, so good).
