Don't abandon me - LJ Idol Week 11
I don’t know what happened. My person got up one morning and announced that we were going for a ride. This was great! I love riding in the car! He opened the door and I hopped right up on the back seat just like I always do for car rides.
We rode along for a while and when we stopped he let me out of the car and took off my collar. I liked my collar, it showed that I belonged to someone, and made the stray dogs jealous. He rubbed my head and told me to stay, so I sat and waited for the treat that always comes when I’m a good dog.
He got back in the car and drove away.
I figured this was a new game, so I waited for a while, but I had to pee, so I got up and did that before coming back and waiting some more. It got dark and I got hungry, so I went looking for some people and maybe some food. I met up with a couple of other dogs, but they just barked at me to go away.
I went back and lay down under a table and waited. Maybe my person would come back.
The next day there were other people there, with other dogs, and a strange person came up and offered me a treat. They were nice, so I hung out with them. This nice person invited me into their car with their dog and I went along because I was really hungry.
I stayed with this new person for a little while, and they fed me and called me a good girl, which was nice, but after a few days they put me in their car and took me to a place with a lot of other dogs (and some cats too, but they don’t bother me). They gave me to some new people.
The new people poked at me, and shaved my belly, and put some thing under my skin that made me itch. Then they put me in a cage with another dog. They fed me, and took me for walks, but this new place was kind of scary, and I was NOT happy about being there. They kept me in that cage for a long time. A couple of times a day someone would come and take me outside, but none of them really paid me any attention. I missed my person. Why did he leave me?
After a long time, a new man came and looked in my cage. He talked to me, but I ignored him because he was probably just like the rest and wasn’t going to let me out of the cage. Then he did. We went for a walk and he talked to me like a nice person. He gave me treats and scratched behind my ears. He took me to his car and we went for a ride. It was nice.
We went to his house. He gave me a new food bowl and a new water bowl and he rubbed my belly, but I wasn’t quite sure what to think about this person. He put me in water and scrubbed my fur with some nice smelling stuff. I didn’t like having that done, but I did feel so much better once it was over. I had been getting kind of smelly.
He walks me a lot. And he talks to me. And he rubs my belly. It’s kind of nice. I hope he doesn’t leave me somewhere like my last person. This one might be a keeper…
