I’m stuck at the dog hotel and I take no responsibility for what’s posted here.
I can’t believe it! I’m stuck in the dog hotel again. My person went away and left me, and here I am at the dog hotel.
How am I going to have any adventures? Or fun? I won’t have anything to write about on my blog.
Wait, I know. I’ll make up a story. It’ll be a first. I’ll tell a story about some imaginary dog who is having imaginary adventures. Here goes:
***
Slush sprayed the half-grown puppy as a semi-truck rushed by inches from his nose. The puppy stopped still in his tracks and then turned and ran back the way he’d come.
Shaking to rid himself of the damp, the puppy took a cautious step into the soft snow. He moved his other paw forward and tried again, inching his way into the woods and sometimes sinking to his belly.
Away from the highway everything was silent. Slowly falling snowflakes tickled the puppy’s nose as they landed. A few blades of grass grew through the snow surrounding it. The puppy nibbled on these but they didn’t satisfy his hunger. He wandered for awhile sniffing the snow in spots, or scratching at the base of a tree, hoping for something, anything, that smelled like food. But he found nothing.
Finally exhaustion overtook him. He lay down right where he was in the snow. In spite of the cold, he fell into a fitful sleep.
***
To be continued tomorrow.

Dog Diary, I can’t wait till my person gets home. The dog hotel isn’t my favorite place to hang out.

Oh, Bongo, why have you been arrested? This is scandalous!

Kolytyi, I don’t know what happened. I think Scratchy framed me. He gets to stay home when I go to the dog hotel.

Thanks Will and Eko. I usually make a friend or two here, but I don’t tell my person. I want her to feel sorry for me and come and get me quick.

Thanks Delft. It’s all I have to do while I’m hanging around at the dog hotel, so more of the story will be up tomorrow.

I hope tomorrow comes right away. I am worried about that puppy. I hope he find some potato chips under the snow, like I did once.
Love and licks,

Cupcake, I hadn’t thought of potato chips under the snow. Maybe I should write that into the story.

Angels Whisper and Little Binky, since I’m stuck in this dog hotel I’ll be writing about the puppy every day this week. I’m hoping my person comes back home soon.

That’s “Poor Puppy”…although he’s probably exhausted, too!

Karen, I guess I was feeling so bad about being in the dog hotel that a sad story just came out.

Bongo, we are sorry you are stuck at the dog hotel. We finally got out for a woods walk this weekend, so our story is happy. We will hope that your puppy has a happy story!

Lexie and Mica, I’m so jealous that you got to go walk in the woods. I guess I’ll make it out to my trails again in a few days.
