Mom Left Me Today!
Thursday, January 22nd, 2009Mom kept telling me she had to go to the doctor, but I thought I would go with her; she needs me for moral support. But, she didn’t take me, and it broke my little heart.
I get so upset when she goes off and leaves me at home; I cry a lot–and you can ask dad if you don’t believe me. I bet you think dogs don’t cry, but you’d be wrong, because we do; you just can’t see the tears. Mom knows this, and tries to comfort me by saying she won’t be very long and promises to think of me all the time she’s gone. I have news for her–it doesn’t comfort me. I watch her as she kisses me bye and closes the door. I run and take up my position by the window so I can see her when she comes down the driveway. You know, I can’t sleep when mom’s not here, and I don’t know exactly why. This probably explains why I go to sleep almost immediately when she comes home. I say almost because I have to show her how much I miss her when she’s not here. I jump, nip at her purse, and run around like I’ve lost my mind. I even bite Hilde and Wooly sometimes I get so excited to see mom.
After I’ve settled down, mom will pet me, love on me, kiss me, and talk to me saying things like “I told you I’d be back.” (Sounds like Arnold, huh?) I will finally be satisfied she’s not going to leave again when she changes clothes and takes off her going-to-town shoes. Then, and only then, will I go to sleep.
