It’s Getting Scary Around Here!

Newton: WHOA! What’s that? Mr. Bones, what are you trying to do, scare me?

Newton: You have a treat? Well, all right, maybe you aren’t quite so scary after all.

Newton: Look what you did. You’re such a fumblebones. I can hold a treat better than that with my paws and I don’t even have a thumb!

Newton: Wait a minute! Who said you had permission for touching my luxurious fur? Not with those bony fingers. No way.

    This would have been a scarier encounter if you weren’t so darn cute, Newton. I guess you simply can’t help it. And at least that bony hand had a treat to offer!

    Pay to play, Newton … PAY. TO. PLAY. You get a treat, the giver gets pre-authorized petting time … even when the giver doesn’t really have hands ๐Ÿ™‚

    Mr. Bones apparently doesn’t understand the term “personal space”. You tell him that you don’t come cheap and will need more than a couple of treats to get some fur time. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Didn’t your mom ever teach you not to bite the hand that feeds you?

    Yay….we figured out how to post a comment with some help from FB friends. We think Mr. Bones is kind of nice to offer you a treat. Maybe you should let him eat it though since he really needs to put on some weight!!

    That was very nice of Mr Bones to offer you a treat, even if he did try to touch your fur.

    It’s nice of Mr. Bones to offer treats, scratches, and play, but I think he’s creepy!
