Our Four-legged Friends Need Attention Too

I had forgotten. I had forgotten how similar pets can be to cooped up children! They wait until you are the phone, to start begging, to play or to eat or to just get some attention. They're content to be alone, doing their own things – until they are not, with no warning! Much of what used to be one-on-one visits are now phone calls. So, if you call me, to chat, or pray or tell me what your biggest challenge is on this day and you hear a ball drop, or whining – forgive the four-legged children! They know that reality has changed too!
