You won’t believe it, but there’s another dog next door, but I can’t talk to him! My people want me to be a social butterfly, so how did they overlook this guy? Perhaps he and his family are new to the neighborhood and haven’t met anyone yet. That makes more sense.
So, I guess I’ll have to be the welcoming wagon! And who knows, maybe I’ll make a new best friend in the process!So I met my new companion in the same way that most dogs do: by hearing each other’s barking and looking to see what all the excitement was about! I went straight to investigate and saw that pupper!
We didn’t have time to exchange names before his owner summoned him, but that was fine with me! I knew he was there, so I could try to talk to him again. That is the objective for today!I want to meet him on the other side of the fence one day, but for now, all I want to know is who he is and where he’s from. You know, basic information that you exchange with new friends!
You know what I mean? I’m not fond of fences. Have you ever tried to communicate with someone over a fence or a door? It’s vexing! It’s difficult to understand what they’re saying, and you can’t even see their face!Maybe some humans understand what I’m talking about.
So I’m going to do something that may violate the rules. I’m going to dig a hole beneath the fence to see if I can find the dog! This is certainly against the rules, but I’m always at home, so I’m sure it’s fine! I’m sure the dog will be pleased to see me.
I spent a lot of time watching different chat shows with my humans over this chaotic year, so I’ve got loads of fascinating topics to discuss with my new pal! I’ve kept up with all the crucial news, such as the latest movies, songs, and award shows! So even if he runs out of things to say, I can totally carry the conversation.
And I have to tell, digging is quite relaxing. It feels so good and natural! Is this how humans feel when they play with bouncy squeeze toys on their desks? I feel like I could dig for days without getting weary!
The trick to digging a working hole now is to regularly check to make sure it’s large enough to fit you but not too large! These fences require something to sit on, so I must be careful not to shovel too much soil out of the way.I know my parents would be furious if I did it! So I’ll keep digging, see how much of myself I can squeeze in, and then dig some more. I need to make sure the hole isn’t so small that I get wounded when crawling through it!
The best thing is that once the hole is finished, it’s there for me to use as a doggie door! If you think about it, I’m actually doing my humans a service. I’m sparing them the effort of having to drive me to the neighbors’ house. I can go there by myself!
Wow! I can’t believe I made it all the way over the wall! Meeting new people is always fun. I can already tell he’s fantastic! He introduces himself as Buster and claims to have recently relocated from Cleveland. It’s a pleasure to meet you! I can already tell we’re going to have a great time together!
