“She’s really gone?”
“Well, for a while, Tempeste.”
“Where’d she go?”
“Her daughter is fostering a dog and had to go on a trip, so Mom is babysitting.”
“How long is she going to be gone?”
“Till Sunday.”
“Till Sunday? You know how long that is?”
“Yeah, it’s four days.”
“We could die by then.”
“Oh, please. Dad’s here to take care of us.”
“I hate to say anything, but Dad is no Mom.”
“Sush, he’ll hear you. Besides, he takes good care of us.”
“He does know how to open doors for sure.”
“He feeds us and gets us to exercise.”
“Yeah, that exercise part. Mom gives us long walks, and sometimes in the park.”
“Dad is a little older, so his range is not as large as it was.”
“Older is a very kind way to put it.”
“Well, he is our Dad.”
“I guess I should be more patient.”
“And when Mom comes back, you will appreciate her more.”

Dot and Lia know what you two mean. Their mom is going away for three weeks!! They may have to remind Dad to give them snacks and walks. Lia is on it. She’s good at reminding (if you call jumping up and down and barking reminding!) 🐶🐶
