Tale Three - Leaving Home

I was out playing with my sister Gadget and brothers. Something was different about that day. Carole my human mom had just washed me and given me a haircut. Ugh I didn't like it. She used a funny machine that blew into my face. It felt strange, but what the heck I accepted it.  I really wanted to tease my sister and run outside. That is really what I wanted to do. Carole seemed to not want me to get myself dirty.

There were new people suddenly arrived at the house. Carole brought me out and let me be held by one of them. I heard her say Adrienne. She did seem pleasant and I liked meeting new people so I gave her a lick. Adrienne seemed quite excited and pleased to be holding me. I gave her a few more licks. Then the other person Roger held me. There were three other people there. I didn't catch their names but they were holding another strange thing and pointed it at us. I didn't really like that thing very much since I could hear clicking noises and flashes of light. My brothers, sisters and mom Widget were watching me. I really had enough and wanted to get down to business running after them. But this was not to be.

Adrienne continued to hold me and Roger opened up the car door. I had been in a car before so I knew what that was.This seemed exciting.They were going to take me on a trip for the day.Sniff, sniff so different were the smells. Adrienne continued to hold me in the car. I loved looking at all the movement outside. Everything was wising past. I was getting a little dizzy, but it was exciting just the same. It seemed like such a long time. I wanted to see everything, but my eyes were starting to close. Just a little sleep then I will be ready again.

I woke up wanting to pee pee and suddenly found myself with a thing around my neck. We got out of the car, but this thing was holding me back. The nerve of them not allowing me to run. I'll make it difficult for them and go my own way. I had to go so badly.  I found a spot that smelled just right and peed. Boy did I feel better. We got back in the car and we started moving again. It was getting dark, this day trip seemed a very long one and I wanted to get back home.

We finally stopped and I was carried into a house that I didn't know. I felt strange. Where's my brothers and sisters? Where is my mummy?
