The Canine Point of View



Hank and Charley deep in conversation:

Hank (wagging his tail in excitement): This is where we go camping!

Charley (wagging his tail in imitation of Hank): What's camping?
 
Hank (patiently): This is when Mama and Daddy take us out on the lake!
 
Charley: What's a lake?

 
 
Hank (still trying to explain): It's where we go out on the boat!
 


Charley: What's a boat?
 
Hank (still patient): And we get to go swimming!

Charley: What's swimming?
 
Hank (triumphantly): And we sleep in the camper!
 
Charley: What's a camper?
 
Hank (completely out of sorts): Why don't you go inside now, Charley. Just go up the three steps to the door and go see Mama.

 
 
Charley: What steps?
 
Hank: Maaaa-maaaa.......!

Hank is articulate and has good manners. He's also a very good sailor.

Charley is sloppy and lovable, but thick as a plank. He never did quite get the hang of climbing the three stairs to the camper door. But he sure did love his first camping trip!

Aww, that made my heart smile. Our Abby is a lot like Charley, and our Toby was a lot like Hank.
