A dog’s life

george RAYMOND42 Comments

I remember the day I

returned from school to

find my old dog Pepper

was not at the door to greet me.

***

Then my father sat me down

and reminded me that

Pepper had been with the family

since before I was born

***

And — as such, Pepper decided

it was time to retire and move

to a farm upstate.

***

Furthermore, my dad said,

“Pepper told me to tell you, Good-bye. And thank you.”

***

Then, my mom appeared

and presented me with

a new puppy, which I named:

Chewie.

***

And all my suspicions faded away.

***

That is, until later that night

Just a past my bed-time.

When the phone rang.

***

I answered it.

***

It was Pepper.

***

She barked & whimpered into the phone.

***

“Pepper, is that you? I asked.

“Are you ok, girl?”

***

Then a voice:

“Get that receiver away from Pepper!”

***

And then the line went dead.

***

It was then I knew father had lied.
