Amazon Basics Foldable Metal Pet Exercise Playpen
Dad came home with a giant metal skeleton. I thought we were building something. Turned out it was for me.
Dad
I got this for you. What's your initial read?
Boldo
It smells like a warehouse. Also like the plastic part of a new hose. I sniffed it for a while. Then I walked inside and waited. Nothing happened. So I walked out.
Dad
Let's talk smells. That always comes first with you.
Boldo
Already did. But fine. The metal has a faint oily smell. The plastic tray at the bottom smells like a shipping box. I tried to lick it. Not worth it. The cat sniffed it from the doorway and left. That says something.
Dad
You've been weirdly quiet about this one. What's going on?
Boldo
I'm not quiet. I'm just not mad. That's unusual, I know. It's not exciting. But it didn't scare me. No loud noises. I can see through it. I can push it a little. It doesn't fall over. I'm… okay with it. Can I have a treat now? I've been evaluating for a long time.
Dad
Does it matter that the cat seems indifferent to it?
Boldo
The cat is indifferent to everything that doesn't involve tuna. But yes, it matters. If she hated it, I would trust her judgment. She walked right through one of the squares. I can't fit through. That's the only flaw.
Dad
Give me a rating. One through five. You know what the poos mean.
Boldo
Four poos. I wanted to give three because it's boring. But it's well built. The clips are strong. I pushed it across the room once. It stayed together. I respect craft.

Boldo's Verdict
💩💩💩💩4 out of 5 poos. I did not expect to like this. I like this.
