The newly adopted puppy: The Worm

\"Looking
Looking for my doggy treasure.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I love my new place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love it during my sleep for I can smell my human pup cuddled tight against me. She smells of milk and of love, the stuff sweet dreams are made of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love my new place in the moments just before I wake up, when the aroma of freshly cooked breakfast creeps through under the door and through the keyhole, conquering our bedroom. What better way to start the day but knowing what sorts of scraps will fly off the table? And if I catch the titbits before Mother ever sees us I get a pat and a scratch behind my ear for showing such super skills! For it is against the house rules to feed me like this, but my human pup loves me so much she shares everything with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I share with my human pup too.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My new place comes with a big yard, so big that if I run all around once my tongue spills out of my mouth in search of water, so tired I am. It took me a few whole mornings to sniff all around it and learn it off by heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At its far end, by the corner of the fence, my new friend lives, Mr. Mole. He likes to dig tunnels through the ground and to share his wiggly worms with me. Nobody seems to feed him so I share some of my tasty morsels with him. I hope he likes them; he keeps on burying them into his tunnels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was here that I found the biggest, juiciest worm!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It made me remember my human pup and her toes. Mother calls them wiggly worms and she keeps on counting them each night at bedtime. I thought how she would laugh to discover an extra one! Would she be able to tell the difference? I thought not; they smelled the same to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That night I found out that\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mothers can scream VERY loud. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I still want to make my human Mother laugh; when she does so she smells so much more of love. I\u2019ll have to find something else to share next time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
