"Okay," Renee agreed. Looking at Oreo, who seemed to have been born with a sad little face, she asked gently, "Oreo, I heard from Ash that you went to stay with Grandma for a month?"
"That's right." Oreo nodded.
Renee: "Did you have a good time at Grandma's?"
Perhaps recalling something happy, Oreo broke into a wide grin, his tongue lolling out as he panted. "It was fun! So much fun!"
Renee smiled. "So, did Grandma take you out for a run every day to get some exercise?"
"Nope." Oreo shook his head and woofed. "But Grandma took me out to play every day on her electric scooter."
"What about walks? Did she take you for walks?"
"Walks are too tiring. I don't like walks at all."
"And when you didn't want to walk, did Grandma get mad at you?"
"Never!" Oreo woofed proudly. "Grandma loves me! She'd never get mad at me!"
Renee raised an eyebrow and asked, "So what did Grandma do when you didn't want to walk?"
