You are pete
Mumma has taken you into town
You look up at mumma
“Mumma whewe take fwuffy?
You’re human mumma smiles
“You’ve been such a good fluffy that mama is going to get you a treat “
Your cross eyed face lights up with joy
“Weawy?!”
“Yes Pete any treat you want.”
“Makn chez!?”
Mama looks surprised
“I thought fluffies liked sketti more than anything else?”
“Pete wike makn chez da best!”
“Then we’ll get you the gooiest Mac and cheese we can find. “
You clap your front hooves in excitement
“Tank you so much mumma!”
“You’ll have to thank aunt Vicky when we get home. she’s the one buying it for you.”
“Pete gib auntie Vicky da bestest huggies an bestest snuggwes “
You love auntie Vicky she’s nice to you ,gives you lots of hugs and head pats
You wonder how your fluffy mama is doing. Even though she doesn’t love you. You still love her.
You return home with mamma and on the counter is mamma in a sorry box
She’s been crying
“Pete gib mamma Huggies make aww bette”
You can’t really get to mamma but you hug the sorry box
Aunt Vicky looks confused
“Pete you don’t have to give her love if you don’t want to.”
You smile
“Pete wan gib Huggies tu mumma.”
“But why?”
“Mumma am sad. mumma need huggies. Pete gib mumma Huggies so mumma nu be sad nu mowe.”
“Pete your mama is being punished so I can’t really let ……”
Vicky looks down at the mare who is clearly more distressed with Pete hugging her than all the suffering she went through while Pete was gone
“You know what? I’ll give your mama a bath and you can snuggle with her all night .”
The mare starts hyperventilating
as if being hugged all night by a loving son was a fate worse than death
