12:00 P.M. My friends Ava and Emily pick me up for my midday walk and potty break. I prefer to be carried in the loud and crowded hallways but I know I’ll get a treat if I cooperate so I walk. This is usually a mistake. All the giant people surround me, their hands fly toward my face, and their voices get higher when they see me. Everyone is obsessed with me—the STRUGGLE IS REAL. Luckily, I know exactly what to do: roll on my back and play dead. It works every time (and I get some extra tummy rubs).
12:15 P.M. After play time with my friends, I get to eat again. Yay! The vet told mom I’ve gained too much weight. I don’t know what that means but mom got irritated and told the vet to Speak Life! Then she gave me a treat for good behavior.
12:30 P.M. I have visitors! Kids pop in to Dr. Gregg’s office all day long just to see me. She is so nice and doesn’t seem to get her feelings hurt that they like me more than her. She’ll even ask them how they are doing and before you know it, they’ve been talking for hours… I think. It’s hard to keep time when I’m sleeping.
