Piper Rescues Mom’s Socks

I’m a hero. Mom says so. That’s ‘cause I saved her socks. From Lily. She’s my cat sister and she tried to steal Mom’s socks. But I saved them. It was really hard too.

Here’s what happened. Mom put her socks on the bed. That’s the big bed I’m not allowed to get on. That’s because Lily and I have separate beds. She owned the big bed before I moved here so I guess that’s fair. She leaves all my beds alone. But that’s a story I’ll tell you another time. Right now, this is my story about saving Mom’s socks.

Mom put the socks on the bed. And she turned away and walked over to the closet. Just like that. She was gone. She didn’t care about the socks, but I did. That’s my job. I’m top dog of the house. Okay, I’m the only dog. But still, I’m top dog. And I’m a good girl.

As top dog, and good girl, my job is to watch over Mom. That includes watching over her socks. After Mom put her socks on the bed, I saw Lily captured them. Now cats are strange creatures. They do things dogs would never think of doing. Lily’s no exception. She gets to do things that I’m not allowed to do. Like get on top of the big bed. So, what’s a dog to do? How could I protect Mom’s socks?

I barked at Lily. She ran away from the socks. She even pretended she never laid on them. She licked her paw and acted like she was ignoring me. But I knew better. So, I kept close watch on her.

Finally, Mom came away from the closet and came back to the bed where her socks were. I told her I saved her socks from Lily. Mom gave me a pat on the head and told me I’m a good girl. I am.
