Could
this happen? You Bet!
This morning I woke up feeling great. Ran to the
door and found my best friend waiting for me. We
went for our usual morning walk. My friend does most
of the talking, but I am happy just to be listening.
My best friend’s words are always soothing and
comforting. After our walk, we went back home and
had breakfast together. I got kissed on my nose and
my best friend went off to work. Now comes my boring
time. I walk around the house making sure everything
is safe and secure, then I just
lay on the couch or the bed or the easy chair
waiting for my best friend to come home.
Today is different. Night has fallen. My friend
normally is home by now. It is getting late. I’m
starting to worry. I hope she gets home soon. I’m
starting to get hungry. You know I don’t care if I
get to eat or not. I don’t complain. Please come
home. I miss you. I am so tired now. Why is it
getting light out again? This is so strange. I need
to
get on the bed. I can smell my friend was here. This
is where I feel safe. Wait! I hear someone at the
door-it must be her, No, it is someone I don’t know.
Who are you? Why are you coming in here? Are you
going to hurt me? Rob my friend’s home? What am I
supposed to do? I know. I will act mean. I will
growl, bark, defend my friend’s home the best that I
can. They have just put a leash on me. They are
trying to talk calmly to me, but I don’t trust them.
I will still act mean. I just heard them say my
friends name and something about a fatal heart
attack. Now I am in a small cement barred area. This
is not the food I normally eat. These are not the
smells I normally smell. I am so scared. I still
need to act mean. I know my friend must be trying to
find me. I have been here for about a week now. I
hear people talking about me being aggressive. Wait.
They are opening my door. They are putting that
leash on me again. My friend must be here. Now I am
in the exam room. Oh I see the needle again. My
friend always told me the needles will help keep me
healthy. I felt the pinch-this needle is different.
Something is happening. I feel very sleepy…where is
my
friend?
We know how much you care about your beloved pets.
Please make sure this does not happen to your
friends.
