[NoStupidQuestions][CW] My human only plays fetch for three hours a day (lemm.ee)

I'm a little worried about my human. Like the title says, they'll only throw the b*ll for me for about three hours (throwing is such a neat trick, btw, I love that about them). After that, they'll usually just, like, stop throwing it or even put the b*ll away. It just seems like such a small amount of fetch, it's got me worried; is there something wrong with my human?

Dear Conditional,

You and your human just have different fetch levels. I'd suggest you find another human, a neighbor kid or the like, who likes to play fetch and take out some of your fetch tension with them. Your human shouldn't feel like you're cheating, as long as you still do the 3 hours a day that your human seems comfortable with. Mismatched fetch levels can cause a strain on a relationship, but just be aware of that and keep your lines of communication open.
