Chippy

Chippy is my black furry dog with an insatiable appetite and the saddest, sweet eyes. I came home to an excited dog, as usual. J got on with his usual greetings. and a little more.

J: yo Chips, wassup.

(pauses)

wow. you have the amazing ability to make the whole place smell like you.

Chippy: (silence)

We proceed upstairs. And Chippy races along, overtaking us. (He likes to be first, then wait at the top of the stairs) Unfortunately, he trips.


J: How is it possible that you trip when u have 4 legs?
