"Now, you go and play...I'll be upstairs if you need me....you remember the rules, boy...no going in the bedrooms."
Jeff looked at her, nodding. He was a good boy and would follow the rules. He padded over to where his toys were, and grabbed his favorite in his mouth happily.
Meanwhile, Sally went up to the bedroom and sat down in the chair. She noticed a smartphone charging next to the computer. She picked it up and began scrolling through the notifications. She cursed as she read one of the messages, and logged onto the computer to get some work done....this was supposed to be a relaxing day and now she had work to do all of the sudden.
A few hours later, Sally rushed down the stairs. Jeff ran over to her happily, expecting her to play with him. "Sorry, boy....I have to go out," she said, jingling her keys in her hand.
Jeff heard the word out from his female Master. They were going out? Walkies? He barked happily.
"No, boy....I'll be back soon, and we'll have some fun...promise."
He looked at her, trusting her completely...but something was bothering him...he was having trouble understanding what. He was supposed to be a human...but he was having trouble understanding how he wasn't....or...He decided it wasn't important, Master would do what was best for him.
