My life as a dog

By: Jasmine Sun

Hi, my name is Milo. I just woke up on my bed in my cage, and now all I have to do is wait here for about 3o more minutes before my owner’s parents come and take me out for a walk outside. There he is—he’s so early today; I’m glad to see him. I want a hug. He doesn’t really like hugs, but I’ll give him one anyway. Now he needs to put on my leash. I do not like the leash at all, and he definitely will not get that thing on me today. Oh, a treat! I love treats, so maybe I’ll let him put the leash on just this one time.

I’m finally outside! Now, I just need to find a rabbit or a squirrel. Wow, what’s that white thing on the ground? It must taste great. I have to try it. It does taste great, kind of like bones. Uh oh, I think he noticed that. I will not let him get my food this time! Sadly, he got my food again. After we finished the walk, it was time to go home. We went inside the strange teleportation room with buttons and returned home.

Oh no, do I hear running water? He’s going to clean my paws. I hate water, and I was hoping that he would forget about cleaning my paws today. Yay, I hear my owner coming out of her bedroom. I missed her even though it had only been 8 hours since I saw her. I am going to give her a big hug and a lot of sloppy kisses. My owner took some treats from the bag and told me to stay and wait for her dad to clean my paw. She knows exactly how to make me listen.

It’s time for breakfast! My owner gave me 3 spoonfuls of my favourite breakfast. After eating breakfast, my owner and her dad left me at home, alone! I am so angry at them. I think I should sneak into the kitchen and destroy the sticks that they use to pick up food. I’m also going to scratch the door a lot to see if it would open!

They’re finally back! They don’t seem happy, though. I wonder why. They scolded me for the mess and ignored me for 1 minute. I’ll never make a mess again. After my afternoon walk, my owner started looking at a board that makes strange symbols appear. It is so boring to watch. Can we just play? My owner ignored me.

At about 6 pm, my owner opened the black board and looked at the people on it. It was fascinating, and I even saw a dog there. After my owner gave me food, it was bedtime. She gave me a treat, and I went to sleep.
