I woke with a start. She was screaming again, Master's daughter. The girl called Alice. I felt bad for her. She's been with us for a while now. I'm not sure how long. I just know she's taken me on lots and lots of walks and I've been sleeping on her bed for a long time. I crawled up next to her and licked her a few times. Then I laid down next to her, nuzzling her side now and then. "Good boy Mudgie…." She mumbled. She was still half asleep. For whatever reason it seems to help her when she gets like this. Alice went back to sleep and so did I.
It was light out when we woke up again. I stretched and shook myself. Alice smiled and scratched me between the ears. I loved it. She got up slowly then rested her hand on her belly. It had gotten a lot bigger since she had first come here. She was smiling but looked sad at the same time. Weird. A lot of weird things had been going on lately. Like she's been touching her belly and sighing. Master had been touching her belly a lot too. But even weirder than that is they've both been TALKING to her belly! Like they thought it could hear them! Weird.
I jumped down off the bed. It hurt a little bit. It didn't used to but it does a little bit now. "Alright Mudge…let's get you taken care of." She put on her bathrobe then headed downstairs. She let me out the back door. When I came back in she had filled my food and water dish for me. We both ate our breakfast. I finished first. I walked over and laid down by her feet. She looked down at me. "you've been a good dog Mudgie," She said. She dropped a little bit of her sausage on the floor. "Oops," she said laughing. "Guess you'll have to eat that Mudge." I happily at what she had dropped. It was good.
Later Alice's friend came over. It was the boy. I greeted him. I liked him. Master liked him too. "Hey Mudgie," he said patting my head. "Ready to go to the park?" I wagged my tail and barked excitedly. When we got to the park Alice and her friend sat down on a bench. I ran off to play with the other dogs.
