You're a garbage thief who only cares about himself,
but now suddenly you're helping?

I lend her the use of my 10 little magic wands,
and she doesn't lead her no hair bear to the shed
where I stay when it rains.
You're done. Next.
- Um, what is this? - Honey's new rain protocol.
Can't have paw prints on the carpet.
- [chuckles] No.
The blow dryer is an aggressive tool
humans use to force animals to conform to their standards...

And I resent Honey for imposing it on us.

Not a peep. So who wants to start?
No one wants to share?

I'd like to discuss why the elderly cat
and the one-eyed cat lied to the husky cat.

They're roommates who are a little bit flirty.

Delusions are often more vivid than real memories.

The memories of our pound rounds

I used to be scared of storms too,
