A stick? Luxury! We were lucky to have a bowl of food a day to share with my 98 siblings when I were a lad

98 siblings? We used to dream of having 98 siblings! When I was a pup I grew up in a shoe box in a shop window.

Shoebox? Look at Mr moneybags over there! We slept in a hole under t'bin and we were grateful for it!

HOLE!? Such Excess! I slept on a rock in the rain, EVERY DAY! And it wasn't even MY rock!

Why does your dog have a cockney accent?

idk if that's a boomer brag, my dog has 50 different toys but her favorite is a tree cutting that vaguely resembles a bone.

Mine has a ton of fancy toys. What does he love to play with most? The bottom of a 5gal water jug...
