Mom came out a little while ago and put my face harness on. Then her phone rang and so she needed me to stand patiently and wait until she was done with her phone call. See how I did?———–> Mom said we have to practice. I never practice, but she seemed to think…
I am not sure about any of this.
Lots of days this happens: Mom gives grain to Jay and Chance, but when I look into my bowl, it’s empty! Then I have to stare at Mom to remind her that I didn’t get any grain. She says, Sorry Honeycutt, because I am too fat for grain eating every day. If I try to taste…
