And he will go up to each guest and won’t leave until they tell him the dinner was wonderful or at least satisfactory. When we have dinner parties, it’s referred to as Phineas Café, not because he actually cooks anything, but because he thinks he owns this restaurant. Phineas has quite a rich and complex life that’s quite easy to overlook while simply watching him snoring on the couch. While I realize most people talk for their dogs, Philippe and I seem to have progressed beyond that a bit. This could have also caused some of the irritation we witnessed, but we were sure the two would work it out in whatever way their friendship deemed appropriate. I’ve no idea what the currency for such a game would be, since Michael undoubtedly prefers nuts and Phineas only prefers things made from pork. We guessed that he was embarrassed by the affection or temporarily displeased with Michael as he still owed him money from yesterday’s poker game. Once, while Michael was peering in the window, Phineas rushed over to him and pawed at the window causing him to run away. Since, we’ve no idea what Phineas does all day while we’re at work, we assume he throws little parties for his friends and that Michael is his best friend. We named him Michael and we assume he must be looking for our dog Phineas. This, of course, spurred Philippe and I to imagine an entire story for him. It will often come up to the window of the door and peer inside as if looking for something. I’m quite sure it’s likely a different squirrel each time, but it always seems like the same one. We have a friendly squirrel who often visits us on our terrace. For our prompt of “nuts” today, I decided to sketch a little squirrel enjoying one as a treat.
