“Can I come out to play?”

When we were out walking PupperJack, we spotted this little dog — he looked so wistful — he looked like he would have liked nothing more than to join us.

He had to stay where he was, though.

And he might not have been thinking any of that, anyway — he might have been thinking: “Cripes — look at those mugs outside in the freezing cold pretending to be enjoying themselves. I’d so much rather stay here in the warm with my bone and the latest Christmas movie.”
