"You didn't make me mad," Megan said with a sigh. "It's just, all my life people have asked me, 'if you could see, I bet you'd take it in a heart beat.' And my answer has always been no. It's who I am. It's what I do."
As Megan talked, Niles nosed the water bowl across the kitchen as he made sure he got every last drop from the bowl. Plus it was a fun game to play with Mommy, make her find the bowl.
Megan leaned down and asked her dog, "You done, ya human vacuum cleaner?" She felt around for the bowl and didn't find it where she'd left it. "Where the..." she growled in frustration. "Why do you always have to do this? Seriously. Lilo, do you see it? I'd find it eventually, but it's so much easier if I've got you here."
