I'll start at the beginning
I am a dog. I am a young dog, though not a puppy. I am 9 months of age.
This picture is not me. This is a dog I met yesterday. He was at a playground tied to a post. His name is Fred. His family played on the jungle gym and the swings. Then they untied him and took him to a grassy area to play fetch. He looked like he was having a good time. I tried to join in, but they never tossed the ball to me.
I wish I had a family like Fred's.
