“Huck, why are you barking?”
“Because Nemo is barking, I’m backing him up.”
“Why is Nemo barking?”
“He thought he heard someone out by the barn. He’s my mate, I’ve got his back. We’re shoulder to shoulder, to protect you from Criminal Minds and CSI: Miami, LV, and NY killers! We’ve got a strategy worked out, Nemo will go for the throat, I’ll go for the ankles, and you can dial 911.”
“Well, you’re more like shoulder to knee, but thanks guys. How come you let the mailman, the UPS driver, and the insurance guy drive in here last week? In fact, you jumped all over them trying to be petted.”
“No masks.”
“Oh, that’s right. Thanks again, I’ll think we’ll watch cartoons tonight.”
“No problem momma dog, no problem.”
