I jumped out of my sleep this time. I dreamed I was chasing a white rabbit that was wearing clothes. Although I woke up, something was off. Lorina didn't giggle at me. Actually, there was no Lorina. I-I couldn't sense her anywhere near me. I couldn't smell her or hear her. I could only stand and open my eyes. I quickly closed my eyes and flinched as the hairless pads at the end of my paws touched something cold. It was bright. Like everything was white and it was seriously blinding. Snow? Is it snowing?! I LOVE SNOW! It's so fun and… cold. Really cold. Lorina. Where is Lorina? She likes snow too.

"What are you doing out in the cold?" Someone asked. My eyes popped open as I searched for the source of the voice. It was a man. A tall man. I wagged my tail in happiness. Play with me, tall man. I want to play.

"Let's get you inside. It's much too cold to just stand outside." He chuckled, scooping me up in his arms. He wasn't just tall but he was strong and pretty like Lorina. My tail continued to wag. This guy was warm. I couldn't help but lick his face. He laughed again.

"You sure are friendly, aren't you?" he laughed, heaving me closer to his body. His face was cold because of the snow. Maybe my tongue can help warm him up. Lick. Lick. Lick. He tastes good. He could only laugh. It was nice to hear him laugh just like it did Lorina… Lorina…. Where is Lorina? She has always been there for me since I was a small puppy, where is she now? I'm cold and lost. I need Lorina. I whimpered slightly before laying my head down on the man's shoulder. Before I knew it he was juggling me with whatever else he was holding just to get a free hand to open the door. I wiggled in his arms. I can walk from here. I jumped down and stared at the door as he jiggled the door knob, opening it. He left it open and glanced at me. Did he want me to go in?

"After you." He offered, pointing to the inside. I stepped in and felt the warmth take over my fur. It felt so good. After the door shut behind me I shook trying to get any and all snow off of me. Burr.

"Erm. I'm going to need you to stay here for a moment… Stay." He ordered, staring at me. I glanced around the room before spotting a fireplace. Ohh. Fire. Warmth. I waddled over to the warmth and plopped myself down onto the floor in front of it. This is nice. I lifted my head and looked at the tall, tasty man who appeared to be shocked at how well I took commands. This didn't last long because he smiled and shook his head and turned, leaving me to take a nice nap…

"What is this?" someone grumbled inside the room I was sleeping. I only huffed out a sigh and ignored them. I was tired.

"Gray! Get in here!" they yelled. It was obviously a man and the man was angry. Why was he angry? Did someone pee on the floor? Lorina would always get angry when she found a puddle of pee. For some reason she always figured it was me, although it was me, but that isn't the point. The point is-… ah, I'm too tired.

"Yes, Julius?" another man asked, walking into the room. Is this Gray? Because this guy was totally the guy that brought me here. The tall pretty guy. Yeah.

"How do you explain this?" For some reason, my butt started itching. I couldn't help but scratch it with my teeth. Lorina would always yell at me for that and say that it was so unlady like but how the heck else am I supposed to scratch my butt? I mean seriously? Out of the corner of my eye I could see the two men staring at me. What? Have they never seen a dog scratching its butt? But then again the new guy was pointing at me.

"I found her out in the snow. I couldn't just leave her out there. It was cold and she is so friendly and cute." Mr. Pretty guy told the grumpy one. Aw. He said I was cute. I like him. I want to lick his face again.

"Gray," the grump sighed, "she is obviously someone's pet. Not a stray. Look at the blue bow tied to her COLLAR." Oh yes, my blue bow. I love it~. Lorina gave it to me. Made me look prettier because I am a pretty girl.

"But Julius."

"Get her out of here. We don't need MORE animals here in the tower. Especially a big golden retriever. Why can't you stick with your cats and squirrels?" Squirrel? Where? Where is the squirrel?!

"Fine. Perhaps her collar will tell me something and I can return her home safely." Pretty boy mumbled, coming closer to me. He looked at the pendant on my collar while I took a closer look at him. Hm, yellow eyes. That's kinda creepy but he smells nice. I decided to lick him again. The other guy sneered. What? Just because I licked my butt and then licked his face doesn't mean anything. My butt is perfectly clean.

"Her name is Alice. That is all it says." Gray muttered. Oh, he said my name! Ha ha ha! You are so awesome I'm going to kiss you. Licky, licky, licky~.

"Alice?" Ha! Mr. Grumpy said my name too! Oh boy! My tail is wagging so fast. So happy. "Make sure you make some posters and post them around to find her owner." He grumbled before leaving the room. Well forget you then. I have the tasty guy. I don't need… Wait. Where are you going? Gray started to leave me. WAIT! I will come with you. That works, right? Of course I got up to follow but…

"No. Stay. I have things I need to do right now and I'm not sure my boss would like having you around…" he mumbled, patting me on the head. Wait, what do you mean? Everybody loves me. Please let me go. Here, I can do my best puppy face. Lorina could never resist my puppy face. I put my ears down and looked up at his face. I whimpered slightly to add effect, you know. Make him feel bad for leaving me. And—

"Okay, okay. You can come with me. Just… don't cause any trouble." Bingo.

Sorry if this is hard to follow. Thanks for reading and please... Review~
