Pogie on the Couch

Pogie: Human.

Me: Yes, Pogie?

Pogie: Why do humans forget to be human?

Me: Do you mean humane?

Pogie; That, too.

Me: I'm not sure, Poges, but I know we've got to work harder to be kinder, to love more, to be paranoid less, to focus on giving and compassion and the sharing of toys and treats, and cuddling together for comfort instead of stomping off barking and growling all the time.

Pogie: So maybe you all should be more canine, instead?

Me: Maybe, buddy. Maybe.
