Hallo, sweet Nashie! You want to join me on the couch? Of course, you can, buddy! C'mon up. Why yes, I am aware of those dog treats on the table. And no, buddy, I haven't forgotten to give them to you. Would you like to have one or three? What is it you want to show me, Rosie? You brought WHAT into the house?? Sweetie, branches, sticks, and the like have to stay outside. And how on earth did you get that branch through the doggie door?? Don't be sad. I put it outside for you and you can play with it there. But let's leave it outside, okay? Oh, Tammo, really? Out of all the big rocks in the border, you've decided the temple stone* best meets your needs? Let me help you find another. The other rocks are just field stones Boompa dug out of the ground when the neighborhood was being built while the temple stone is, well... it's historic and from a place that was sacred. Use the field stones instead, okay? Pepper. You know I love you and I know you love belly rubs. ...
