Simon: Heyyy dad! Murray Christmas!
Ethan: What did you do today?
Simon: I waited on you, like I always do.
Ethan: I’ve got to get you some presents…
Simon: I want a new blanket, some treats, a new maze toy, it’s obvious this is not a present tree.
Ethan: those stuffed reindeer are ornaments not toys.
Simon: This is why I love you. And also, I can’t remember.
Simon: I like this movie. This is my favourite movie of all movies.
Ethan: Homeward Bound?
Simon: I could do that. I could live in the wilderness.
Ethan: You mean like the time you ran off in the woods for 45 minutes?
Simon: I was gone for days,dad. Days. 
Simon: Hack! Cough! Gag!
(Spits up)
Simon: Ewww that’s disgusting.
(Rolls in it)
Ethan: What are you doing!!! Get up!!
Simon: !!!
Ethan: What is wrong with you?
Simon: I don’t know,dad. I’m not even two yet…
Ethan: Oh my god… well now it’s bath time…
Simon: Nooo! Why does this KEEP happening OVER and OVER!
Ethan: calm down crazy it’s been a week. 
Ethan: Uhm yes, hello. This is Ethan. My dog,the idiot, Simon. He ate five Hershey kisses. Do I need to do anything?
Vet: Did he eat the wrappers?
Ethan: No. no, I don’t think he liked those.
Vet: Was it milk chocolate or dark?
Ethan: milk with almonds
Vet: (laughs) ok ok he should be ok. Just monitor him for a few hours, he might get a little sick to his stomach but he should be ok.
Ethan: Thank you.
Simon: Hey, dad, how about some more of those chocolates. Those are delicious.
Ethan: You- you – idiot
Simon: (under the table) It’s ok. You can just package them for me instead. Like a present.
Ethan: I’ll show you a present. You scared me half to death.
Simon: Seems a bit drastic but ok. (You can never be too agreeable when your human is emotional) 
Simon: Guys. I need to tell you about this dream I had.
Ethan: Ok, I’m listening.
Simon: I dreamed I got walked!
Ethan:…
Simon: Lately that has been a dream. . .
Ethan: What’re you doing? 
Simon: Shhh…I’m checking FB for animal shelters.
Ethan: Really?
Simon: Yeah,dad. Like the one I found you in. Saved from a life in a cage!!
Ethan: you weren’t in a cage…you w- wait a minute. I was living quite well before you.
Simon: How do you sleep at night.
Ethan: Well, it is easier since you keep my feet warm. You bed hog.
Simon: Aww so many are getting adopted. Now I can sleep tonight.
Simon: Dad was late.
Ethan: I got stuck at work.
Simon: A likely story. Inexcusable!
Simon: But at least you’re here now!!
Ethan: Ready?
Simon: Ready!
Together: How you Doin’?
Ethan: We’d never make it on our own.
Simon:We’re cool!
Ethan: Definitely not.
Simon : Send it to mom.
Ethan: …no I’m telling you,mom loves this sort of thing.
Simon: How can you be sure?
Ethan: Because I married her.
Simon: How well do you really know a person?
Ethan: You’re not even a year old,Balto.
Simon: I don’t know…
Ethan: Say the thing.
Simon: Thank you for adopting me. I would adopt you and dad too. Happy Mother’s Day. Love,Simon. Like that?
Ethan: yeah,good job.

Hello,person!
It’s national Adopt a Shelter Pet Month.
I know I’m a little guy.
But I was a shelter pet.
Left in a ditch.
I love my new pack family
And hunting stuffed Giraffes
So thanks!
for all you do when you adopt a pet.
And remember the seniors like Lester! They are great feet warmers and love just as much as us little guys.
Lester has been with the shelter for 6 years! (That’s like …six and a half of my entire lives)
So remember…
“Adopt don’t shop!”
