Every week, I get to go to playgroup. And every week, I act like it’s the first time I’ve ever experienced joy.
I can’t help it! There are OTHER DOGS there. Dogs to chase. Dogs to be chased by. Dogs who understand that running in circles for no reason is actually the most important activity in the world.
My best friend Augie is always there. He’s a yellow Lab, and he’s really fast. We play keep-away with whatever toy we can find, and he usually wins because he’s sneaky. But I don’t mind. The running is the fun part. I heard he pouts when I don’t show up. I get it, buddy. I’d pout too.
My humans say I sleep really well on playgroup days. That’s because I give it my all. Every zoom, every chase, every lap around the yard trying to get that ball from Augie. By the time we get home, I’m ready for the best nap of my life.
Dogs need friends too, you know?
