Saddest Day of my Life
OK, I think I have stopped crying enough to post about what has to be the saddest day of my life.
Thursday seemed to be going fine. My-two legs went to work early, the skirted-one left around 10:00 , and big-little-bro and I spend the next 8 hours napping. Then my two-legs came home, and it was good. But something was off. He started to put things into a big black bag. And he stuck his computer (which is always at his desk) into a backpack. Well this is odd, I thought, but maybe he is just tired of having everything out and about. Right? Right?
No such luck. Instead of our normal walk, he gave me to the skirted-one, and my two-legs took his bags. What could be more important than taking me for walk. Apparently, abandoning me. We walked over the big bus stop, the same place where nearly a week earlier I got the glorious surprise of new two-legs to show me affection, and then the skirted-one stopped at the top of the stairs but my two-legs kept walking. He just kept going and going. It was all I could do to watch… and cry.
I think our crying softened up the two-legs, because after what seemed like eternity, the skirted-one took us down the steps to the platform, to see my two-legs one last time. Almost as soon as we got down there, a giant wheeled vehicle came. My two-legs got on. I cried. The doors slammed shut. I cried. The vehicle drove away. I cried.
As we walked back home, I had a burst a hope. A vehicle drove and parked almost right in front of us. This was it, my two-legs was just playing some horrible, horrible prank on us. Various two-legs stepped out. But not my-legs. My heart sank.
We got back home. I waited.
The waiting begins. Approx 9:00 PM on Thursday.
A few hours past, big-little bro gave up, I waited.
Waiting. Approx 10:00 PM on Thursday
More time past. He will be home soon. I know it.
Still waiting. Approx. 10:45 PM on Thursday
A new day. A new chance to wait. He will be home today. I know he will.
Yep, more waiting. Approx 3:00 PM on Friday
And yet, he never comes. My master has left me. Never to return. I am left alone with the skirt-one and big-little-bro. *Sigh*
July 23, 2009. The saddest day of my life.
