Me: Yep, it is!

MaeMae the cat, raising one eyebrow: Proud like an… ally…?
Puppy: Whut you talking about there’s a lot of us PUPs
Proud
Union
Puppies
There’s me and and P____ and and I forget her name I think it’s a girly dog we’re all sponsored by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers I like the union they’re nice to me
The cat’s paw hit her forehead at high speed.
MaeMae: Okay. Totally different, ding dong.
Me: MaeMae, leave her alone. Puppy, honey, you are definitely a PUP, and the union is proud of you, too. But this is a different kind of pride.
The dog looked over, one eye mostly closed.
Me: This is LGBTQIA+ Pride! Lots of rainbows and we are happy about how we’re all different and everyone should love whoever they love.
Puppy: I love you and Mommy and I even love MaeMae
The cat sighed heavily, head in her paws.
TM: And we love you right back. That’s all you gotta know.
Puppy: Is that why I’m wearing this collar because I’m a PUP
Me: Definitely.
MaeMae: Can I tell her?
Puppy: Tell me what
Me: That the puppy looks fabulous in that collar? Yes, you may.
