Animal Humane is the place where I found Wayne. Wayne goes there to work sometimes. Some days he takes me along. I get to meet other dogs who go to work with their people, and I know he’ll take me home again when he’s through.
But at Animal Humane, they told Wayne about doggie day-care. One morning Wayne and Kate took me there. It had a big room with dogs coming in and going out, with a person to pet you. At supper time, Wayne came and got me. It was an OK place, but it wasn’t home.
Then one day they packed up my food and my bed and left me at that doggie day-care place. Every night, I had to sleep in a cage. I hate cages!
I waited and waited and waited, for days and days.
Finally Wayne and Kate came back. They took me and my bed and the leftover food home, but when they fed me that leftover food, it tasted like that bad place. I wouldn’t eat it.
They don’t learn very fast. They left me at doggie day-care again, for a lot more days! And when they came back for me, I showed them again that I didn’t like that place.
I guess they paid attention that time, because next they left me with Jane ‘n’ Steve. I love visiting Jane ‘n’ Steve. Jane takes me on walks. Steve likes me to watch TV with him. Sometimes they invite another dog, Luckie, for a play date.
Even there, I miss home, but I don’t complain about the food anymore. I’d rather be with good friends than at that other place.
