Stretching It
You're going along having a fine day and then all of a sudden this happens! Whose
idea was it to leave me looking like a chocolate pineapple! Humans continue to
think I like what they like…sometimes it’s true when it’s steak…but shampoo…really, this is over the top.
Can't they read my eyes?
I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now; it's so confusing. I always thought humans knew just about everything, especially about me because I love them like crazy, but lately I’m beginning to sense I may have made a colossal error! This pineapple on my head is proof positive.
You know what’s confusing? I’m just starting to see that even though I think humans ‘get me’ often they have no idea who I am! This is really, really, really scary for me because I'll follow them just about anywhere...and I assume they know the right way!
It reminds me once when we were out driving, I looked over to see an ancient man driving slowly on the freeway practically laying horizontal in the driver's seat. Towering over him was his 'man's best friend' with Help flashing in his eyes. I tried to get the attention of my human, but she was busy thinking.
It's beginning to dawn on me that humans may think I’m just some kind of category…like a helper or a function? I'm the heart, don't they know that!
I suppose there is some consolation because they always reach for me at night…unless they are on their cell phones.
