If you have pets, you can probably appreciate this conversation. If you don't have pets, you can probably appreciate the humor....if not, sorry about that.
Little Bit: We’ve got a sweet deal here.
Pippin: I know. I can get a belly rub almost any time I want, I get three meals a day PLUS snacks!! AND, I don’t have to stay outside regardless of the weather and fend for myself.
Little Bit: We have three beds, a big yard to leave our packages, and unlimited supply of water. I’m not crazy about going to the vet, but I love the groomer! I mean, who wouldn’t want a warm bath and a haircut! Momma will pick me up and carry me around after I’ve had a bath.
Pippin: You are a bit of a crybaby when it’s time to go to bed though.
Little Bit: Well, it gets me a bit more attention, that’s all. Sort of like you licking Dad’s elbow!!
Pippin: You know it’s our job to let them love on us. It makes them feel good, besides it’s not a hard job.
Little Bit: You can be a bit arrogant you know.
Pippin: How am I arrogant?
Little Bit: I get on the big pillow with you, and you get up and go lay on the floor! I don’t take up much space…. I only weigh 8 pounds! When it thunders, you go get in my tiny bed!! You’re so big, you can’t even lay down in my bed and there is definitely not room for both of us!
Pippin: This getting up in the middle of the night to go out, is a bummer. Dad wakes us up to go outside! I would much rather sleep; besides I don’t like going out in the dark. It reminds me of my old life, before Dad and Momma.
Little Bit: Yeah, I know what you mean, difference is, you’ve got 20 pounds on me. Try to fend for yourself when you weigh 8 pounds and are only a foot tall. That’s why I’m a bit pushy…. I had to learn to be.
Pippin: Well, as for me, I’m glad Dad and Momma decided to take us in. Neither one of us would have survived much longer. I know you were scheduled for termination and I was deathly ill.
Little Bit: Yes, we definitely have a sweet deal here. I think we should stay for a while.
Pippin: Me, too.
