manners for animals

   Our sweet animal makes our hearts melt. He's our baby. A good first step to a human baby, considering we are comfortable assessing his poop (Solid? Runny? Worms?). We even need to tell him to mind his manners every now and then. Like no shaking the frogs to death along our paths, and that small dogs are dogs, too. Most importantly, please don't park your snout in a stranger's crotch. Papa and I know that this is how you give hugs, but others don't take kindly to such a forward advance.
Especially, the maintenance man. He's still not over that hug.
