“Dear Cocoa,
I have been with my
family for many years and they have some very strange habits that often confuse
me. Take their latest habit: I love to play with things, it keeps me
strong and fit, right? Well the other
day they brought out these huge cloth things with funny colors and things that looked
like the bright lights in the sky. I
chased the cloth as they walked because it was fun. Then, when they put the cloth on a pole and
left it dangling, well, I figured it was my own private play-scape. But they pulled me away and stuck me in that
stuffy old house instead.
Can you explain this
to me?
Signed Very Confused”
“Dear Very Confused,
Your family is
celebrating a holiday for them. They put
up cloths with colors that represent their holiday. When those cloths come out, I fear it angers
them when you play with it, sorta like when those pesky kittens grab up your
favorite ball and run off. Just keep in
mind that these things are important to them, and I don’t think you will have
any more trouble.
By the way, I believe
that the celebration this time was a celebration for their Country’s
Independence, (if the cloth looks like the one here) but don’t quote me as I can’t
be absolutely certain. Things are always
changing with our human pets.
Signed Cocoa”
PS: HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!
