Unsinkable Arguments

1. The Splash Heard ’Round the Backyard

It started innocently enough.
A hot day, a cool wading pool, and a plate of snacks just barely within paw’s reach. I dipped my paw in, pulled out a soggy cracker, and posed the question that would divide plushie history:
“Is this a free snack… or has it been forever tainted by the pool?”

2. Pandy’s Position: Hygiene Above All

Pandy, lounging calmly in his Hawaiian shirt, sipped his tea and said:
“Doggie, it’s a contaminated cracker. The chlorine alone…”
I didn’t even know the pool had chlorine. (Do inflatable pools come with that?)

3. My Counterpoint: Nature’s Seasoning

I argued that water simply makes snacks “more dynamic.”
A little sogginess? That’s texture.
Plus, Mini Blue turned teal, which I’m pretty sure means “mild agreement.”

4. Mini Blue’s Silent Verdict

Mini Blue, ever the mediator, plucked the cracker, balanced it on their head, and glowed mint green.
Was it a snack now? A hat? A philosophical statement about impermanence?
Pandy sighed. I cheered. Mini Blue just glowed brighter.

5. Closing Splash

In the end, we agreed on two things:

1. Never leave cheese near the pool (Pandy’s rule).

2. Always have a backup plate on dry land (my rule).
   
   

As the sun set, Mini Blue floated peacefully, glowing soft lavender, while Pandy brewed one last cup of tea. I whispered, “Soggy snacks build character,” and let the pool carry my wisdom (and my last cookie crumb) away.
