How Much Is That Doggy in the Window?
by Janet Crease
How much she is that doggy in the window, the one with the waggely tail...
"Can we take it home with us mom?"
"How much is that doggie in the window?"
"For you lady it's fifty dollars" says the shopkeeper.
"So expensive" says mom. "Oh well, I guess it's something for the children to play with over the holidays."
"A home at last", thinks Puppy to itself.
"What's that on the carpet?" yells dad.
"Where are my sneakers?" says son.
Chewed sneakers, a puddle of pee on the carpet, a steaming brown pile of something in the corner, whining and crying from
Pup...
"Put that thing outside" yells mom.
"I thought this was going to be a great place" thinks Pup, shivering and wet outside. "Everyone is screaming, yelling and kicking
me, I just needed to pee!"
"Put that dog on a chain" yells mom, and leave it there.
More whining and crying from Pup.
"Shut up! Shut up!" yells the family and the neighbours.
Days later, peace and bliss reigns once more in the household, kids watch video games, mom and dad go about their lives. Life
has got back to normal for the family.
"Anyone seen the dog?" asks dad. "No? Well, put some food out the back, it will come when it's hungry. Did it eat its last meal?
Stupid dog, doesn't know when it's well off."
Tired, cold and hungry, Pup finds itself in the back of a truck and then at the Animal Shelter.
Pup thinks to itself, "This is better, food, water and no kids to pull me around and a nice warm secure place to sleep. Heaps of
company, I want to stay here forever".
It's Xmas holiday time, the Shelter is overloaded, too many dumped and unwanted dogs.
"Hello Puppy" says the friendly vet. "Now, this won't hurt a bit, just a little sting."
"Night night Pup" says the attendant for more times than she has wished to utter those final words, as she cradles the puppy
against her. "Off to the Rainbow Bridge".
Family at home. "I wonder what happened to that nuisance Puppy. It was a real pain in the neck, all that mess" says dad.
Peace reigns within.
How much is that Doggy in the window, the one with the waggly tail.
