I had a dreama strange dream that has helped me to understand Eric much better.

In the dream, Eric looked angry and said, “Melissa, I have something to tell you.

I’ve lived with Eric for more than five years. He is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. I buy him fish and milk and lots of toy mice once a week. I even bought a small house for him, because he sometimes likes to be left only by himself. I love him with all my heart, and give him all I love.

But what has gone wrong? In the dream Eric said angrily, “I don’t like fish. I don’t like milk. And toy mice? Are you crazy? I’m not a cat. And I don’t want to be a cat, either!” Then he ran back to his small house.

After the dream, I know better: dogs don’t like fish or milk. And surely they do not like toy mice. Most important of all, they will let you know when they are really angry!
