Normally I sleep alone at night. Last night I slept in close company with Moe, a friendly golden retriever. Moe wanted to play. I wanted to go to sleep. I stretched out on the sofa that he sometimes rests on and covered myself with a blanket. Moe thought great! She's at my level. I'll bring her my toy and we can play. I didn't want to play. I was tired. Moe was not tired. Every time I moved a muscle Moe took that movement as an invitation to play. His movements indicated, "Play now? No? How about now? Ready now? If I wave my tail near your face will that make you ready to play" I rolled over to find a more comfortable position. Moe was right there. "Play now? With my toy? I'm ready to play." I put the pillow over my head. Moe responds with, "Ready to play now?" Dogs. Gotta love their eternal optimism.
