Darrell took his seat on the therapist’s couch. Cheyenne took the far end.
Darrell, as always, spoke first. “I spent ten days sculpting Marilyn Monroe out of butter for the county Farm Show contest. Cheyenne ate her leg. I don’t know if I can trust her anymore.”
Cheyenne stared out the window. The therapist nodded and jotted another note.
“I love her, but she doesn’t respect me, or my work. I’m not sure this is working out. What do you think?”
The therapist massaged his brow. “I think you need a girlfriend.”
Cheyenne barked at the blue jay on the ledge.
