When it’s warm outside, Howling Human season starts.  This is an extremely good opportunity for human socializing.  Most weekends we take ours to gather with their friends in a field in our town and drink falling over juice accompanied by bread with hard cow juice on top.  A small group of humans stand on a big box in the middle of the field and howl while they pull strings on wooden boxes and bang big round pots with sticks.  I don’t really understand the attraction, but it seems to make them happy and we get to hang with our friends like Truman and perfect our begging technique.
