Hello, demon hound
Of course I heard your barking
It made my brain bleed
Hi hi hi hi hi!
We’re home, it’s so exciting!
[Cute nonsense noises]
No, no, ugh, please stop
That’s a rug corner, Phoebe
Not a fabric treat
You are the longest
bear and/or pup in the world
Or at least this block
Asleep on the couch
Legs splayed all over the place
What a good clown dog
You have to poop, dog
I know your bathroom schedule
Stop munching the dirt
Stop being so cute
You know how weak my will is
Fine, just a few pets
Not looking at you
Because you crave attention
But I’m the boss here
I hate the crate too
It’s big and ugly, but, well,
This is how you learn
Smart and mischievous
Always looking to do crimes
I love you so much
