Howls

howls!

Chins up and backs striaght! chest out proud and tummies (ya, mine only; party does not have much of a tum tum) tucked in! gait eager, looks hopeful, sits pretty and paws high!

we showed mummy that we are the best company for her 'hike' yesterday.

Mymmy din say anything about this 'hike' to us, and we tucked in heartily to the grub mummy's prepared for us. early dinner made sense since we are going out!

Little did we expect that once our tummies were nice n warm, mummy began her go- out- without- us ritual. showers...packing... and OUR stuff did not make it into her huge, spacious bag. i tossed a toy carelessly in mummy's way, hinting that she could pack that in too... (what's s 'hike'- whatever it is- without some fun?) but mum din... no water bottle, yummy treats or poop bags went in as far as we could see.

these are the usual routine when mummy is going out without us!! oh no! the signs are obvious- we got our hugs, pats, praises and chews... i dun think we are going to get to go.

mummy left and i immediately began my wiry howls! no no no.... it was not meant to be like this!!!

no family, no friend, no dog- sitter, no one, nothing... party and i were left to sit with one another, eyes glued to the door, howls unheard. we tried to listen to what is going on outside the door... maybe she is just outside and will come back in soon. maybe overnight lasts for only a short short while?

and we waited.

and waited.

this is impossible. how long does an overnight 'hike' last? when will she come back?

Will anyone come?


howls & tail low,
