My mom abandoned me. She left me all along. Well, not all alone. Lily’s here. But Lily’s a cat. A cat! There’s no one here to throw the ball for me. No one to feed me. No one to pet me and hold me and tell me I’m a good girl. I’m all alone and I’m so sad.
Mom said she had to go to the grocery store. I couldn’t go with her. She promised she wouldn’t be long. But she’s been gone forever. Forever.
She did give me a treat before she left. It’s a peanut butter bone. It’s one of my favorites. It’s really good. I gnaw on it and I chew it and I lick it. I like my treat. It’s really, really good. And it lasts and lasts and lasts.
I’m really tired now. Eating my treat wore me out. I’m going to take a nap.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
What? What’s that noise?
It’s the garage door. Mom’s home. Mom’s home! She came home. Just like she promised. She didn’t leave me forever and ever. She came back. I’m so happy.
Now we can play ball and she’ll pet me and hold me and tell me I’m a good girl. Maybe she’ll even give me another treat.
