June 13. “Button, did you like New Moon?”

“It was a nice movie. Especially the special effects. But the series being such a hit is something I can’t fathom.”

“I found it rather ordinary.”

“Since you went around 11 to feed Shabby and company after the movie got over, were they there?”

“I think they had retired for the night thinking that their dinner wasn’t coming. My daughter and I saw the happiness with which they greeted us.”

“How can you tell they were happy?”

“When they wag their tails to the left, it means they are happy. Doggy language.”

“Don’t you want to sleep tonight? It’s past midnight.”

“Goodnight then.”
