Dear Ginger: My human loves to take runs. The problem is, she is quite tall, while my legs are only six inches high. It’s hard for me to keep up. So lately, when I see her don her running clothes, I high-tail it for my kennel, and back myself in. Sometimes I even try to pretend I’m in the middle of a very important nap. Am I letting my person down? ~Mixed Feelings
Dear Mixed: Your situation is distressing. You obviously want to be a loyal and eager companion. However, it does appear you are rather short, and may not have the necessary dimensionality to be a good running partner. You shouldn’t feel bad…remember, good things come in small packages. When your human goes running, allow yourself to enjoy a good chew of the bone, then give her a warm greeting when she gets home. ~Ginger
