It’s a pity Xena says she’s off duty right now.

She’s the final, missing link in our Chin Rest chain.

It’s a perfect day for a brisk stroll…

…on the newly seeded veld.

—Darth Vader

Did you wake up extra early, raring to go, with big plans for a productive day?

Did you then hit a wall?

No worries! That’s what naps are for.

—Sunny

I’m glad you’re tending to our toasty backyard fire, Human Daddy…

…but I do hope you won’t forget to go inside and fetch our dinner soon.

—Cosmo

I’m just taking a refreshing, innocent post-dinner climb through the redbud, Humans.

Why are you always so suspicious?

—Luna

I have a sore back leg and my Humans thought it would be a great idea to take me to the dreaded Vet, which makes no sense at all given that my leg is getting even sorer as I wait for the doctor on the cold, hard, institutional floor.

My Humans are obviously overreacting.

—Stella

If I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a hundred times, Human Mommy, that I retreat to my egg when I am craving solitude.

Yet you persist in disturbing me.

—Luna

I’m a lovely loaf.

You are right to admire me.

—Luna

You are eating a scrumptious Friday dinner, Humans, but we are not.

And equally importantly, you are not opening the door so that we can grab our own feathered takeout.

Not fair, not fair at all.

—Cosmo and Luna

To feel and look your best…

…it’s important to keep your paws glistening clean through regular lickings.
