jdmkleinIt started out like any one of a hundred other weekend mornings. He woke up early and came back to bed when i was ready to get up. i let Him sleep about an hour longer then woke Him up and made breakfast. i did a little laundry, cleaned up the kitchen after breakfast, had an epiphany, but that's another story.
i asked Him if i could make a 'honey, do' list and He said yes. i did. He called about His car, yet another story, was told it won't be ready until tomorrow. He called E for a ride in the morning and decided we needed to get out of the house. So far, everything is normal.
He said door at 1:00. Ok by me, i went and got dressed. As usual, we found other things to do so we didn't get out of the door until nearly 1:30.
Rode the elevator down to the car park, stepped out, and there he was. We have a new member in our little family. i have no idea what it's parentage is, maybe part elephant and part Mack truck. He is black with tan feet, (the Mack truck gene) a scrawny little tail, there might be some rat in the gene pool, and ears that would make Dumbo jealous. His coat is short, it was dirty, but a bath works wonders. His manner is mild, i have a feeling his life on the street was not pleasant. He is young. He doesn't do steps well either up or down. He can't really walk and wag his tail at the same time but he looks so darned cute when he tries.
i didn't even have to beg Master. i do believe He was smitten almost before i was. Master kept making statements like " We won't buy him a collar just in case someone claims him when you walk him in the morning." We don't want to give him a name, he might not be with us very long." "It's not necessary to give him a bath, just yet." But then he decided i should stay home while He went out and got 'some things'. Master left, and puppy and i headed for the shower. We didn't even have anything to feed the poor toad.
i made some oatmeal, but he is a snooty little pup. He did drink the water i put down, but was not at all interested in the oats. After his shower i took him out on the balcony to dry him. He shivered some, then snuggled into the wet towel and began to do his best imitation of a purring cat.
He will not be a furniture dog. i think he will be too big. i put him on a pillow on the floor by my feet. He purred as he slept. Maybe he doesn't know he's a dog. Master got back with dog bowls, food, a collar and a lead. i do believe we have a dog. Master didn't get a kennel, He hadn't decided just how hi-class this dog is going to be. He said i could stop on my way home and pick one up.
It was tough, but we left puppy to go for a swim. Some men who work with Master and their kids were at the pool. We swam a bit, cooled off actually, and i came back to get dinner ready. Puppy got the kennel tonight. When i got back to the kitchen, it was a shambles. Puppy had tipped the water dish, left a mess (stinky and glue-y) in front of the dish washer, and was making enough noise to drown out the imam calling afternoon prayer at the mosque.
We got him a nice kennel. It is one we can use on an airplane. Master began to put it together while i took puppy out for a walk. He has to learn that between my legs may feel secure from the rest of the world, but is not the safest place if he values his tail at all. He sniffed around the empty lot, then we walked around the block. When we got back, Master was bleeding, and fast losing His patience. i helped Him put the kennel together, puppy slept. i went to get his pillow to put in the kennel, Master laid on the floor and taught puppy a new trick. Bang! play dead!. He does it really well.
We put him in the kennel and turned out the lights. He whimpered a bit, but soon settled down and went to sleep. i love how puppies smell.
