They're Laughing At Me

I'm not being overly sensitive.  I have proof that they're laughing at me.  I try not to take it personally.  I tell myself that they're laughing with me, not at me.  But the problem is, I wasn't laughing.

You see, it all started when we were out in the backyard.  The dogs were doing their thing - sniffing around, playing, and basically just having a good time.  I was sitting on the deck and taking pictures.  I was thinking about how much I loved each and every one of them, and how much I would miss them when they were gone.  I thought about how happy they were and how hard it would be for them to leave and go somewhere new.  And I started explaining to them about how they were going to be adopted, and how they would have wonderful new lives.  And I said that I knew they would miss me... and then I saw their expressions.  The more I talked about them leaving, the happier they looked.  And by the end, when I said they would miss me, they started outright laughing at me!

Benny thought it was the funniest conversation ever.

Cooper did not seem worried about missing me.

I have such inconsiderate foster dogs.  Happy, but inconsiderate of their foster mom's feelings.  I hope they show a little more respect when they're adopted and their new families try to have a serious conversation with them.
