Wating...

I am back. But not for long today, it's late and I usually live by the schedule. I like to go to bed at a reasonable hour to get an early start the next day.
So,where was I? Sitting in a big kennel...
There I sat all by myself. For the first time in my life. Lots of people were walking by, many of them stopped by my cage. Looked in, smiled, talked among themselves, kept on going. And I felt all alone. Very, very lonely...
Most of the time I liked to stay away from the metal bars, close to my food bowl. It was my only consolation after so many unlucky events...
I heard people talking and the words Human (or humane?) Society. But the only humans I see are the ones outside the bars. It must be a place for humans who want to find animals and take them home?

OK, it's morning and I have a lot of energy today. Let's get rolling!

...A tall lady with a little boy came over. They stood there and looked at me. They weren't talking at all. Just stood there silently. I got up and sat closer to the metal bars to see them better. And there we were - I was sitting on one side and they were standing on the other one. We were silent and very interested in what was on the other side of the kennel...They stood there for a while, and slowly moved on looking at others behind those awful bars.
I feel like I am in a fishbowl - everyone walks by and looks, then moves on.
And the most horrible thing is that I have to use my kennel as my dining room and bathroom. And you never even get to go outside and run around!
Waiting... What am I waiting for anyway? I might be in here until I grow up. Then no one will want me for sure. They say big dogs eat and poop a lot. And NO ONE will want this.

Sorry, my boy is having a meltdown. I can't concentrate on anything creative when he cries. I will go and kiss him and hopefully, will be back soon.
