The Other Puppy
There is another puppy who lives at my house.
I never saw mom and dad bring the puppy home, and I never saw him when I first came
to live here, but there for sure is another puppy here.
The funny thing is.... He looks exactly like me!
He gets the same expressions on his face,
he wags his tail the same way, and he barks at me everytime I bark at him.
I have never heard mom and dad talk to him, and I’ve never missed any food or water
from my dishes, so it has me puzzled how he can be alive. But he is, there is no doubt
about that.
Whenever I walk by a mirror, there he is, looking back at me with the same surprised
look on his face.
Whenever I go near the big window in the kitchen at night, (mom says it’s called a patio
door)... there is that darned puppy again.
He used to scare me when I saw him. Now, he
plays games with me.
I try to sneak up on him, laying flat on my belly, then pulling
myself with my front feet on the kitchen floor closer to the big window.
But do you
know what that sneaky little pup does?
He lays on his belly and crawls towards me,
trying to sneak up on ME!!!
Well, I fixed him..
The other night, there he was by the big window again, looking like he thought he was
pretty smart.
I decided that I would once and for all prove to him that I was smarter than he was, that I
was quicker than he was, and most of all, I just wanted to show mom there really was
something in the kitchen when she comes to see what I’m barking at.
She thinks I’m a
little strange!
He peeked out at me as soon as I walked by the refrigerator.. and there he was in the big
window again.
I got into my stalking position and slowly inched toward him.
Maybe I could catch him tonight!
He got into his stalking position and slowly inched toward me.
I waited until he was almost to me, and jumped to grab him.
I sprang at him.
He sprang at me.
I don’t think I’ll do that again.
The other puppy has an awfully hard body.... He must be in training somewhere in the
house, because I bounced right off of him, and fell backwards onto the floor.
Mom watched me try to catch the other puppy, so at least she knows now that he lives
here.
I am not sure where the other puppy went, because I haven't looked for him since that night.
And I will not try to catch him again for awhile.
My nose still hurts.
