Six of my humans are in one room and they are ALL MINE. This is the most humans I have ever loved at once! One of them keeps making the flat rectangle glow on the wall and everyone looks at it instead of at me, which is FINE, I forgive them, I already forgot.
The tall one is talking and talking and the others are doing the thing with their faces where the mouth is happy but the eyes are asleep. I know that face! That is the face they make when the vet is nice to them. I go under the table. It smells INCREDIBLE under here.
Feet! Six kinds of feet! One human's foot is jiggling so fast, up down up down, and I put my chin on it because a jiggling human is a human who NEEDS me, and the jiggling stops, and I did that, I FIXED him, best boy, best boy.
Somebody says a word and everybody groans at the same time. GROANING! We are all making sounds together! I bark. Nobody throws anything but that's okay.
There is a box on the table that smells like PEPPERONI. Nobody is eating it. Why? WHY? It is right there and it is the best thing and it is just SITTING there getting cold and lonely and I could help. I could help so much.
The tall one says we'll pick this up Thursday and everyone stands up so fast, so happy, so free, tails going even though they don't have tails, and my human crouches down and puts both hands in my fur and says good boy for waiting.
I would wait a thousand Thursdays.
There is pizza and there is my human and both of them are looking at me.
