Why would I want my humans to read to me about a dog?

Duzie

Dear Lilly,

You must be human. Pity. You show a fine taste in appetizers – I mean, sidekicks. I'd love a yummy – er, faithful hamster sidekick like Rex. Unfortunately, I have to make do with my human's husband. Human, too, but easily trained to provide cream and gushy food on command.

But seriously, why would I want my humans to read to me about a dog? If I'm in a mood to be read to, I'll walk my human straight over to the shelf where she keeps Carole Nelson Douglas's Midnight Louie series. Now there's a cat about town who knows what's what, even if he doesn't quite understand the value of a good rodent entrée ... sidekick. I meant sidekick.

Respectfully,

The Duz
