The Holdin'-Paws Discussion

"I'm just going to lay here and hold paws with you until you feel aaaall better, Mama."
"Ohhh... that's so sweet of you, Day!"
"I know."
"I just have one teeeeeenie little request though..."
"Which is??"
"Well, do you see how your toe is pushing my toe waaayy over?"
"Yup."
"It's kind of uncomfortable..."
"No, it's not."
"It really kinda is."
"No, see... it neeeeeeds to be like that..... we're holdin' paws and it's makin' you better! I mean, how else are you going to get all healed up if our paws aren't locked tight enough for me to give you all of my awesome healingness??"
"Well-wishes would probably work just as well."
"Too late, Mama, we're already settled and locked-in for the long haul!"
"And I wouldn't want it any other way, Day... holding paws with you just fills up my whole heart."
"I know."
"And, you really are the sweetest, most caring and full-of-love boy a mama could hope for."
"I know... but, I think you also meant to say 'incredibly and BEYOND handsome'..."
"Greyhounds are so unbelieveably modest... *eyeroll, headshake*....."
