Play With Me

Ethel is always desperate for Earl to engage in a fun game with her. Sometimes, however, an exuberant Ethel is left hanging as Earl would just rather sit back and chill. On other occasions, though, Earl is more than happy to play. For Ethel, it's a matter of hoping Earl's in the right mood!

Play with me Earl! Come on, come on!

Is this a familiar sight in your household?

  1. Ethel is so cute! They sort of remind me of my dogs. Zoe is the same way as Earl.. Way more chill than Phoenix. LOL

  17. One of my dogs, Ben, is always in the mood to play. There's usually a not very orderly queue to play with him! Sweet photo. :)
