Stephanie Thompson in Mammoth Lakes, California wrote to us to say,

My then three-year-old son and I were talking about our dog having a tummy ache.

He asked me, is it going to crack?

Oh, no.

He thought it was a tummy egg.

Oh, a tummy egg. No.

But I’m just imagining those little round tummies when the puppies and the kitties have too much to eat.

And they’re so bulgy, right?

And you do kind of want to hold them as if they’re going to burst.

And pat them, right?

Right.

Give them little scritches.

But that’s the cutest thing.

I know.

A tummy egg.
