a very good boy

David knows he’s a very good dog.
He finds the best sticks. He doesn’t bark at squirrels— much. When his human stayed in bed for days, David stayed too, until the soggy man came and made everything better.
David gets excited when his human takes him to a loud place that has many birds. The soggy man— he is dry now— comes too. He smells nice. He even jumps into all the leaf piles with David.
His human does not, but he does laugh often now.
David’s new bed is in a warm part of a big, bright room. He hides things there, like the good-smelling man’s slippers, and the small folding sticks he puts on his eyes when everyone’s in bed. (David’s careful not to chew those. His human’s very fond of them.)
This way, the good-smelling man can’t ever leave.
David also likes to make circles around their legs when they go on walks, so that his human gets stuck to the good-smelling man. This is David’s favorite trick yet.
David’s a good boy. A smart boy. The best boy.
But when his human says “good boy,” sometimes he’s not talking to David. And that’s very confusing, indeed.
