A Day in the Life of Ceska
(A bonus chapter)
July 6
10:43 PM
Ceska's POV
"Ceska, wake up. It's time for work." Huh? Work? Ceska pried her icy blue eyes open, letting out a loud groan as she rolled over off her side and onto her belly. She was sleeping on her very luxurious dog bed in the family room, snoring away until she was awoken. Slowly, she looked up at her daddy and met his expectant eyes, before she noticed the harness he was holding. Immediately excitement filled her as she jumped up from the bed, trotting over to him and wiping her drool on his pants leg "lovingly." Work means I get snacks! I like snacks!~
An annoyed tsk let her daddy's lips, something she was so used to hearing every time she did something affectionate like that. How rude Daddy! I'm giving you my slobber because I like you! "Now I have to change pants…thanks Ceska." He muttered, but she could see the smile tugging at his lips. I'm his favorite!~
Once the harness was buckled on her, she waited patiently by the door while daddy left to change his pants, which she didn't really understand. There were a lot of things daddy said that she didn't understand, but she knew that he told her to wait so she was doing that! I'm a good girl! I can wait right here just like he told me to do! Though…I think I smell chicken in the kitchen. Maybe I could just…see if I could sneak a little…No! Can't do that! Mommy will get mad and last time he got mad I didn't get my bedtime snack of pepperoni!
Pouting to herself, she stared down at the ground and sulked until she heard footsteps approaching up to her and a leash was attached to her harness. "Now don't slobber on these, or else you're going to sleep outside." He always gives me that threat but he's never actually done it. Not that I would mind, there's lots of stuff to eat in the backyard! "Now come on, we have business to take care of." Wonder what we're doing during sleep time…must be something fun!
11:20 PM
Sitting at Daddy's feet, Ceska glared at the men across from them as their business went down. She didn't like how they smelled, they smelled really bad and it was putting her on edge. They were dangerous, she could tell. Words were being spoken back and forth between the men and Daddy, but she only knew a few words that they said. Nothing that made enough sense to her, but she could tell from their body language that they were getting angry.
"We don't have to tell you anything!" One of the bad smelled man yelled, making Ceska's ears hurt. She let out a low growl in warning towards the man, and he stepped back.
"I'm beginning to lose my patience. You can tell me now while I'm being nice…or I can make you tell me when I'm angry. It's your choice."
"And what do we get out of this if we tell you?" The other man sneered, ignoring her growling threat as he took a step forwards.
Daddy chuckled humorlessly, glancing back at Tall Human. Tall Human was good at protecting Daddy…almost as good as her. But she couldn't expect anyone to be as good as she was at protecting her pack, she was the alpha. "Your life, which is more than the guy before you got."
"You wouldn't kill us, you need the information." Ceska kept her eyes on the men, watching with hawk-like eyes as one of the men in the far back reached into his pocket, and her eyes caught sight of metal. Without hesitation, she let out her mother terrifying growl and barreled through the bad smelling; evil men, knocking their feet out from under them. She leapt up and latched her teeth into the man's thigh, locking her jaw as metallic tasting liquid filled her mouth, and screams filled her ears.
Through the screams she heard her Daddy say something, but she couldn't quite make it out. All she knew was that after speaking, all his men started lifting the bad smelling men from the ground and seconds after what her daddy said next she had a new bad scent come to her nose. Urine. "Suoh, get them ready for warehouse five…we'll make them talk." She felt a tap on the back of her head, and immediately she let go of the man, blood dribbling down her chin as Daddy patted her head. "Good girl Ceska. Sharp as ever." He praised, and immediately her entire behind went to shaking in joy, her tiny nub wiggling. I know! I am a good girl!~
"Sir, what do you want me to do with this one?" Suoh asked, gesturing the man with the rapidly bleeding thigh.
"…Stitch him up, and then take him with the others. I'll deal with him later." Daddy say's that a lot…I wonder what he means. Is he going to make them sleep outside without dinner? That's the worst punishment ever…Wait, have we had dinner? Hmm….I don't remember. Oh god did they forget to feed me?! What kind of monsters am I living with?! Dinner is the second most important meal of the day! Daddy! Hey Daddy! I need dinner right now! Ceska barked and whined, trying to get his attention. Finally he looked down at her, arching an eyebrow. "Oh I see, you want to be paid for your work. Don't you?" I have no idea what you're talking about, but if it includes food then yes! "Alright, I'll get you some ice cream on the way home." O.O Daddy, you are my new favorite.
July 7
8:34 AM
Every morning Mommy and the human puppy (Masa) do the same weird thing on these really weird mats in the family room. And every morning Ceska watches, trying to figure out what it is they're doing. She at one point thought Mommy was trying to teach the pup how to dig, but he wasn't doing it right either. But when she brought the pup outside and tried to show him how to properly dig in that weird box of fun dirt (sand), she got yelled at by both Mommy and Daddy. So it wasn't that. Then she thought maybe it was a type of game…but when she tried to play along she kept falling over. If it was a game, it wasn't a very fun one. Not to mention there wasn't even food at the end of the game! What good is a game if there isn't food?! "Come on Masa, say "Mama." Ceska heard this every morning, and was happy that she understood at least one things they were trying to teach the pup. Speak, one of the easiest tricks in the book! Or at least she thought it was…but the puppy just wasn't catching on.
He's just being stubborn, all puppies his age can talk! Just give him a treat and he'll do it! Ceska barked this to her mother…who just ignored her like always. Shesh….fine. Just trying to help. She heard Daddy speak from the couch, and his footsteps heading over to Mommy and the human puppy, but she was over it. If they didn't want to listen to her suggestion, then she would just go back to sleep! And she did, almost immediately…but was ultimately awoken when the pup started wailing, making her violently jerk out of her slumber and up to her feet. Ice blue eyes scanned the room for the immediate danger, but saw nothing except for her Daddy looking freaked as he tried to calm the crying puppy.
What has scared my puppy brother? She trotted over, sniffing him to see if he smelled bad again. Sometimes he would cry if he smelled bad, and other times if Mommy and Daddy hadn't fed him in a while. She could understand, she didn't like bad smells either…nor did she like going without food. But this time he smelled fine, and she didn't hear his belly growling…so he must just be upset. As soon as he got into Mommy's arms though he calmed down, which Ceska thought was a relief…only Daddy smelled and looked jealous. Did Mommy do something wrong? Wait…why is Mommy calling Daddy bad? Did Daddy do something wrong? Can I help fix it? I know! I'll go get my toy snake and I'll share it with you and we can play! Yeah…that's good plan! Good thinking me!
Ceska trotted off towards her bed where all her toys were thrown about, sniffing each of them just to make sure they all smelled like her. Sometimes Mommy would put them in the scary machine that made all their smell go away. Grrr…I hate that machine. Her eyes scanned for her snake, but couldn't find it. She could have sworn she left it here…she slept with it. Feeling a little panicked, she turned around and looked around the family room over to see it in the far corner next to the magic picture box. She hurriedly trotted over, leaning down to drag it over to her humans when she heard a very familiar growl. Oh god…it's devil spawn!
Staring into one another's blue eyes, Ceska puffed out her chest and tried to scare the tiny rabbit off. Come on devil spawn, that's my toy! Go play with your own! "Devil Spawn" thumped her foot loudly, growling as she tried to pull the giant snake away….successfully filling the English bulldog with fear as she ran towards her parents. MOMMY YOUR EVIL RABBIT IS BEING MEAN TO ME AGAIN! Oh wait…what's that noise? Ceska turned, sniffing the air as she heard the back door open. Familiar scents, two of her favorite humans and her boyfriend!
As soon as Sammy entered the room behind his parents, Ceska bounded over to him and started rubbing all up on him. Sammy was a good boyfriend, he laid with her on the floor and watched the magic picture box with her, they took naps together, and he even let her take some of his snacks. Not only that, he's really tall so he could get her the good food Mommy always kept up on the counters. Life was good with Sammy as her boyfriend, and in return she shared her toys and bed with him…sometimes. As long as he wasn't too pushy about it.
"Kazumi knows! Just go!" Huh? Who's going where? Ceska turned around, staring up at her parents. Mommy looks irritated again…Oh…Oh where's Daddy going? She trotted after him as he walked into the kitchen, talking to Tall Human before they both headed towards the door…and Tall Human left his breakfast on the table! Tall Human, you're leaving your breakfast behind! You need to eat it! I even smelled bacon and you can't let it get cold or it's not as good! She barked after them, chasing them until all the way to the front door where they disappeared out of. Does that mean I can have it?
11:48 AM
This is my worst nightmare…Cats! Cats are everywhere! It's that same cat that's on the magic picture box! Why is it in my house?! Why is Mommy putting it in my house?! Mommy this madness has to stop! Ceska growled as she pulled at one of the white balloon strings, trying to get to the cat.
"Ceska! Stoppit!" The string was ripped from her mouth and immediately she pouted. Mommy scolded me….mean, stupid mommy! Ceska quickly walked off towards her new favorite human for the day, since Mommy was being all mean. Trotting over to Monkey Boy (Mommy call's him that so obviously it's his name!), She laid her head up on his lap, giving him pitiful eyes. Mommy yelled at me…pet me and make me feel better!
Monkey Boy giggled down at her, petting her head and scratching behind her ear. "You just came over to slime my knee again, didn't you?" Actually I came for pets, but giving my slobber makes you smile so I'm always happy to help! Mommy had told her on multiple occasions that she had to be "gentle" with Monkey Boy, even though she didn't have to be in the past. Ever since he got in the weird moving chair things had been different. Sammy was different too….he didn't like to play as much. But she wasn't angry at Monkey Boy, she just didn't understand.
The front door opened suddenly, and she whipped her head around to see two familiar people. Tall Human and Daddy are back! Did they bring me food?~ Forgetting the man petting her, she quickly ran towards them full speed, sniffing up their legs and sneezing all over them in her excitement. Come on Daddy! I smell cake and you know how much I love cake! Give it! She jumped up, each time just narrowly missing hitting his arm.
"Ceska! Stop!" Daddy snapped, using his leg to push her back a bit. Hmph, rude! Ceska trotted over to her bed to pout further, angry that both her parents were so cruel and unfair! She couldn't kill the evil cats, or eat cake?! They're monsters!
She stared down at her bed, sulking angrily as she listened to all the chatter going on around her, a lot of it she either didn't care about or didn't understand. All she cared about was why no one was giving her attention! Why no one loved her right now! Well…that was until a tiny cheerio dropped in front of her. Leaning down, she sniffed the tiny piece of cereal before licking it up, looking up to see what beautiful human had dropped it for her. HUMAN PUPPY! MY FAVORITE HUMAN! She immediately attacked him with "kisses," enjoying his laughter as he shook the bag of cheerios, spilling them all over the ground for her.
"Hehe, Masa are you sharing with Ceska?~" Ceska was eagerly eating the almost tasteless cereal when she heard Sissy's voice, but she wasn't really interested in that. She was interested in the peanut butter cookie she had in her hands, mouthwatering as she licked her lips. That's for me…right?! It has to be for me! Peanut butter is like my favorite thing ever, and everyone knows that! I made sure everyone knows that the day Mommy took me shopping and I ate that whole box of peanut butter treats in the store! Sissy giggled before lowering the cookie to her mouth. "Well, this was for me…but you can have it! I made bunches more!" She chirped, and immediately Ceska scarfed it down in one bite, not even tasting it. Thank you Sissy! Now can I have another?
Human Puppy was picked up by one of the new humans, an older one she hadn't decided what his name was yet, distracting her for a moment whilst Sissy ran off back to the kitchen. Wait! Where are you going?! I'm not allowed in the kitchen and I want another one! Ceska had scurried off after her, but stopped right in front of the doorframe. …You're no longer my favorite. When she turned around get back to her mountain of cheerios Human Puppy had left for her, her very upset eyes fell on Devil Spawn…who was munching away on the last piece of her snack!
THIS IS THE WORST DAY EVER!
6:51 PM
Ceska had been napping on the lounge chair for over two hours, an annoying hat on her head and sunglasses on her face. Sissy liked to put her in human clothes a lot…and she put up with it because Sissy snuck her food under the table sometimes. It was a fair trade. Even in her dreams she was disappointed that Mommy had kicked her out of the giant water bowl, because she liked to go swimming in it! Of course she hadn't really learned how to swim yet…and every time she tried water got up her nose…but still! She was a human just like the rest of them so she could swim too! And even if she couldn't, Human Puppy got a water box to float in, couldn't she have a water box to float in?! Mommy just wasn't fair….
She couldn't be too mad though…Mommy had given her a piece of cake after all the other humans got theirs. Forgiving Mommy for not giving her enough had to be done though. She was pretty upset at first, and refused to look at Mommy. She was a big girl! She could have big slices of cake! Buuuut after Daddy gave her a spoonful of peanut butter she decided Mommy could be forgiven. A tiny hand brushed against her body, waking her from her slumber as she peeked an eye open. A human child about four years old was petting her with the biggest smile on his face. Turning her head, she sniffed him…and immediately her little nub of a tail went to wagging. He smells good! He smells a lot like that other human, the one that smells really really good!
"You're a good puppy." He giggled, taking the hat and glasses off of her so he could pet her head. Usually head pets were her least favorite, but she could accept them for this tiny human. He smelled too good. "C'mon, let's go play puppy!" Play?! What are we going to play? The boy ran off, and she was too eager to follow, staying right at his heels as he ran past the giant balloon boxes all the other human children were playing in.
"You can go too Sammy, go ahead." She heard Monkey Boy say, and then Ceska heard the familiar sound of her giant boyfriend running after them. Yay! Boyfriend gets to play too! I'll get to show him how good I am at chasing things! He'll be so impressed!
Once they were in an open space of the yard, the child pulled out a small ball that had come from the giant balloon box, holding it out towards the two "four legged humans" so they could sniff it. Excitement filled both the pooches as they tried to jump up and grab the ball, but were also careful not to knock the small human over. Small humans were delicate. Giggling, the boy threw the ball reeeaaally far! Wow, I've never seen a small human throw so good! Good job small human! With that, the chase was on between to the two dogs who raced for the ball neither of them could see.
Reaching the end of the field, Ceska lowered her head to the ground to sniff it out, eyes scanning for any round shaped object. Sometimes if she couldn't find what the humans threw, she could trick them by bringing something that looked similar. Humans could be so gullible! Sammy was off to the left of her, using his height to his advantage to look in some of the bushes. Ceska knew he had found it when he started running goofily towards one of the bushes, and not wanting to let him get the ball and win the game, she raced past him with her butt tucked under her. Before Sammy could get the ball in his mouth, she zipped by and grabbed it victoriously, giving her boyfriend a warning growl when he tried to take it from her. I got it fair and square big guy!
"Come on puppy! Bring it back!" The tiny human called, reminding her that she had to bring it back. Ugh! I hate this part of the game! Why do they take the ball?! I won it, so I get to keep it! Can't they just throw it without taking it from me? As she headed back to the boy, she heard a weird buzz above her head.
Dropping the ball, her head jerked up to see another of those weird plastic flying toys in the air again! That's the fourth one this week! Ceska started growling at it, trying to lunge for it each time it got low to the ground. Err! Get back here weird flying thing! Let me eat you! Sammy noticed what was going on and was nice enough to help her, successfully grabbing it from the air and bringing it down. Yes! Best boyfriend ever! She grabbed one end of it with her teeth, trying to take her prize…but Sammy wasn't letting go. Her icy eyes set into a cold glare. Sammy, give it! You got it for me! He wasn't letting go.
"Children! It's time to head inside!" Ceska heard her Mommy yell, followed by the running steps of the small human that had been playing with them. At the moment she could care though, she was too focused on trying to get the buzzing toy from her boyfriend as they pulled on their separate ends in an epic game of tug of war….until it broke.
Yes! I won! See my piece is bigger you big loser! Ceska gleefully shook her piece of the toy…before looking at his and realizing how much she wanted that piece too. Letting out a growl, she chased after the Great Dane with her piece still in her mouth. Get back here with that! I want it!
July 8
11:34 AM
Ceska laid out in the yard, sunning while her mother took care of the garden. The human puppy in the fun dirt box, playing with it. She wanted to play in it too, but Mommy wouldn't let her. Apparently eating the fun dirt wasn't a game that was allowed…nor was digging for bones. Mommy doesn't know what real games are. It was a nice day out, not too hot but warm enough for her back and belly to feel nice from the sun's rays. Sammy was really missing out, inside his home with his parents. Tall Human and Monkey Boy spent a lot of time out there, even though there were lots of good food in her house. She would never understand their logic.
When the backdoor open, she lifted her head long enough to watch Daddy and Sissy walk outside, then to boredly lay her head back down. "Hey Asami, come here a minute!"
"What is it Kitten?" Daddy asked as he crossed the yard, over to the garden where all the bushes and flowers were. Or what Ceska liked to called it: her pee spot. Mommy didn't like for her to pee there though…something about killing the plants. Not that she cared; it was the one spot Sammy didn't go. He didn't abide by their "your half and my half" rule, so as a compromise she took the best place to go bathroom.
"Come look at this…I think it's one of the kid's toys or something, but it's in a million pieces. I've found like four of these scattered across the yard…has Kiyomi been missing a toy?"
"Um…I don't think so. She hasn't been complaining about it at least." Daddy mumbled, and finally she opened her eyes again to see them messing with the weird flying thing she and Sammy had destroyed last night. You're welcome, by the way. Daddy reached down and picked something up, just another piece of it she thought.
"Is that…Is that a memory chip?" Mommy asked, taking off her gloves to take it from Daddy and examine it better. For some reason they both smelled nervous right now. Even Daddy…and Daddy never smelled nervous. It was putting her on edge.
"…I think it is."
What's a memory chip?
