His Dogness

Dear Diary,

After supper, we like to go for walks. Unless it is raining or cold or dark or we are really tired. Then we don’t go for walks.

On walks, we like to play the “What I Like About…” Game.

Usually, we start with me. Momma might say, “What I like about Sparkle Girl is that she does such a beautiful job when she sets the table.”

Sometimes I get flowers from the garden and put them in a vase.

Then it’s Kim’s turn. He might say, “What I like about Sparkle Girl is she is so nice to new people when she meets them.”

Then it’s Doobins’ turn to say something nice about me but he doesn’t like to take a turn. So Momma and Kim take more turns.

Sometimes they say things that they said on other walks. I don’t mind. I like hearing it again.

After they have said three or four things that they like about me, one of them says, “Time for the Big Finish.”

Then each of them says one more thing that they like about me.

Then we all say what we like about Doobins. After that, Momma and I say what we like about Kim, and Kim and I say what we like about Momma.

Everybody gets a Big Finish.

It’s a good game. It makes me feel good.

Signed,
Sparkle Girl
