can we keep him

a golden retriever puppy would be perfect for a Christmas photo.
Let’s get one out of the pound and take some selfies.
The husband liked the idea in a way.
Can we keep him? He asked.
No.
Why not?
She said “because I said so.”
Thus, her husband kept the puppy
and got rid of the wife.

All is a bit weird; I retire on June 1st - I never thought I ever could, but I will be 72 years young on May 31st and God has given me the gift of respiratory infection and asthma to convince me that I have to give it up
