"Sorry Mom." Rob said sheepishly as he crawled over to her. "I was just thirsty."
"It's OK, sweetie." she smiled, kneeling down. "Now give me some kisses."
Rob began licking her face affectionately.
"OK OK, Down." He complied, panting.
She stood back up. "Lucy, are you ready for school yet?"
"WOOF WOOF!" Lucy responded, entering the room, somehow walking on two legs. She was wearing Rob's backpack.
"Lucy, what are you doing with Rob's collar on?"
Lucy whined as Carol took off the collar and puts it on Rob.
"OK, let's go. Rob, come!" He followed her obediently. "Now, I set out your breakfast. Be sure to eat your food and drink from your bowl this time, OK? I also left a bone out for you in case you need to chew on something."
