Weekend Assignment #17: Through some unexplained miracle, your pet or pets gain the mental capacity for speech for exactly the length of a single sentence. What do you think that sentence would be and why?
"Give me what I want!"
What Tuffy wants is obvious - a scratching, gobs of meat, air conditioning and freedom at the same time (we only have single-room a/c) , to go to the "other" outside where it's not raining, or reassurance after a sudden noise. She doesn't need to talk, really, because she gets her message across just fine.
Extra Credit You get one question to ask your pet that (presumably) it would answer. What's the question?
"What can I do to convince you to eat your dog food?"
reprinted from Karen's Credos & Curios:
Five Things That Dogs Are Telling You
1. Don't forget the dog.
2. More, please.
3. Don't hurt me; I'm only a puppy.
4. I'd really rather not do that.
5. Hey! Intruder alert!

My cat used to ask me about the "other" outside too. It was mostly during the winter when it was cold. He just didn't understand why I couldn't manage it.

My cat's sentence:
"I want to make sure it is perfectly understood that I am the most important thing in your world."
