no one to play with

I love the warm weather, and whenever I get the chance, I go outside.From my deck, I can scan the horizon and look for Moose who lives next door. If he is out, he always comes over to pee on my bushes and to smell me. Then he saunters off and I'm left alone.

And then I have another almost friend who lives closer than Moose. Can you believe his home is right under my deck! I always go look for him,

but Motch spoils my fun and pulls on my rope to get me to come out.

My almost friend is sitting behind me but Motch couldn't get his picture because it was too dark under there, but he looks like this:
Do you think he'd play with me if I gave him some carrots?
