The PUPPY

    I rescued a puppy! He is a cute puppy. He is little and brown and has red inside his ears and a red bow around his neck. He is my puppy now. I love him. I will take care of him. He will be my best friend.

    I got the puppy from Lain. Well, she didn’t exactly give him to me. I rescued him from the coffee table. He wasn’t in desperately need of rescuing like some dogs. But he is so cute that I just had to rescue him from that lonely existence.

    Lain has been sick. A friend of hers, Delores, came over to see Lain and brought Puppy. I just knew the first time I saw Puppy that he wanted to be mine. He is soft and fuzzy, and has a pretty red bow around his neck. He is just prefect. I really needed Puppy.

    After Deloris left, is when I decided to rescue him and make Puppy mine. Lain was taking a nap. I crept in to the living room where Puppy was waiting. I very carefully took Puppy off the coffee table. He just felt right in my mouth. So, I went into my favorite corner to take a nap with him.

    When Lain got up, she saw Puppy sleeping with me. She didn’t understand that Puppy was mine. She took him back! She actually took MY Puppy, MY very favorite puppy. How could she do such a thing? She is always nice to me. She took my puppy! She put him back on the coffee table and told me that he was a gift from Delores. “You are not to have that puppy”, she said, “That puppy is mine.” It is not her puppy. He’s MINE! I need Puppy. He makes me feel good when I cuddle him beside me.

    After a little while Lain went into the kitchen to get some food. I saw my opportunity. I snatched puppy off the coffee table. I was just getting settled in my corner again when Lain came back into the room. She was angry with me. I was in trouble. I didn’t know why. Puppy is mine and I was only getting him back so that I could cuddle him. I don’t chew on him. He is too important to be chewed. I looove him.

    Bob came home a little later. Then, Bob and Lain left together for a while. I took the opportunity to rescue Puppy again. They came home. I was in trouble again. It has something to do with this Delores. For some reason it is special that Delores gave Puppy to Lain. But HE IS NOT HER’S. HE IS MY PUPPY. I just knew I could get him again. He wants to be with me. I love him.

    I saw my next chance the very next day when Lain was reading. WRONG MOVE. Her chair is right beside the coffee table. She saw me rescuing Puppy. But this time she just patted me on the head and said I could keep him! She said if I want him so much that I would rescue him four times, I could keep him.

    Delores came to visit again the next day. Lain told Delores about me rescuing Puppy. I thought he was going to be taken away from me again. I put my head down and tried to keep Delores from seeing Puppy. She just laughed at me! She said I must love him a lot if I would go to so much trouble to have him and that I was to keep Puppy. This Delores is a nice person. Maybe she can be my friend, too. She does know how to scratch behind my ears. She also said I am beautiful. Yes, she is a nice person.

     Now when I sleep I always have Puppy with me. I take him all over the house. I took him outside once. It was raining. I forgot him. He got very wet. I think he needs to stay inside. He cuddles better, when he is dry. His bow is nice and fluffy. He makes a soft pillow for my chin. (Lain says I look “so cute” when I lie down with my chin on Puppy. Cute is good.)

Well, Puppy and I have sniffing to do. Talk to you later,
