- Life of a pet.
- >Be Jessie.
- >Border Collie anthro.
- >Black with white socks, chest, belly and a cute little line on your face.
- >It’s cold in the shop.
- >You’re in one of the holding units along one wall of the pet shop.
- >There are ten or twelve all with different kinds of anthros.
- >Lots of people come by.
- >Some are nice and coo at you while you lounge or do extra stuff like rolling around.
- >Some are mean and come by only to bang on the glass so much that your ears hurt.
- >Day after day you spend in this five-by-five cell, waiting for adoption.
- >Every now and again someone would come in and have a chat with you or look into adoption but say no or pull away at the last moment.
- >Once, someone actually signed but called back a few hours later and said that they couldn’t take you.
- >That one hurt.
- >Oh well.
- >Time heals and before long, you were trying your best, once again, to be cute and snuggly for your prospective owners.
- >It’s later in the evening.
- >Just about closing.
- >You’re already curled up in the doggie bed in the corner.
- >Your ears prick up as you hear the door open.
- >You don’t even bother looking up anymore.
- >No one will adopt you.
- >Why even try?
- >You hear one of the workers talking while walking down the line of cells.
- >Then you hear another voice.
- >Nope.
- >Don’t care.
- >Sleep is seconds away.
- >You hear them talking about the pair of tabby sisters in the unit next to yours.
- >”No.” The new guy says. “I’m not looking for two. I only have room for one pet.”
- >Jeff, the worker talking to the new man, replied. “Well, Mr.Mous, what sort of companion are you looking for?”
- >”A canine. One that likes to walk but also enjoys cuddling and other manly things.”
- >”I see.” They walk right past your window. “Will this be an intimate partner or simply a companion?”
- >Anon pauses for a moment. “I’m not sure. Let’s say that I’ll keep my options open for now.”
- >They walk right past you.
- >Yep…
- >”Hmmm. Are you fond of those that are having… Trouble getting adopted?”
- >”Sure. Show me.”
- >They keep walking down the line of cages.
- >You let their talking slowly fade into the background.
- >You drift gently down lower and lower, letting you brain melt into a dream when you hear them again.
- >”What about this one?’
- >They're outside the glass, staring in at you.
- >”What about this one?” the man asks.
- >”Oh no, not her.” The salesman replies. “She’s not… A fan favorite, if you get my meaning.”
- >”Hmm.”
- >He taps on the glass, once… Twice.
- >You shift around and look out the window.
- >He’s handsome.
- >Just about six feet, white with a little bit of tan.
- >Blond-brown hair with blue-grey eyes.
- >You sit up a little further, more and more interested with each passing second.
- >His and your eyes connect.
- >He smiles warmly.
- >Your spine jumps.
- >He’s the one.
- >Before the words exit his mouth, you know that it’s going to be true.
- >”I’ll take her.”
- >You smile.
- >Somehow, you know that he means it.
- >You’re going home…
