Here is an example pet love story…

The Guster fell in love one day with the Feather Duster.

I didn’t realize at the time, but the day roommate Julia brought home the Feather Duster was the beginning of a beautiful relationship. It wasn’t just that the Guster’s name rhymed with the Feather Duster’s. No, they had much more in common than that. They both love laying around on the couch, sleeping all day, and trotting together into the bathroom to see what’s going on.

Guster loves the very nature of the Feather Duster. He loves to pretend it’s his foe and bite it to pieces, then that it’s his friend and groom it back in place. The two remain inseparable!

Unless, of course, I need to dust.
