My Crew

Then there was Irma.

When Celia moved far away, Irma started helping in the house. But she didn’t just bring help.

She brought a whole team of small humans.

Emily.

Melonie.

Wendy.

Jose.

At first they came to the house. Then they started coming to see me.

And that’s when I realized something very important. I had an audience.

And if there’s one thing you should know about me…

It’s that I know how to perform.

I would roll over the moment someone said “Roll Over”.

Perfect roll with full commitment. Of course I expect treats, humans!

Then I would stretch dramatically onto my back and expose my belly like the professional that I was.

Belly rub position: flawless.

I offered paws. I tilted my head. I gave them my most charming face.

And treats appeared…

I knew my system was working.

Sometimes when my humans had to leave the house for a few hours, the Irma crew would come over to babysit me.

Other times I would go to their house. Those days were the best days.

Running around. Playing. Laughing children everywhere. Unlimited attention.

To them, they were babysitting.

To me…It was a party.

I wasn’t just being taken care of….I was adored.
