Cookie monster

My name is Cookie. And this is a typical day for me and my daddy. His name is Buck. It starts like this...

I'm sleeping soundly on top of Buck. He's so warm. He wakes up and pat my side while groaning. I wake up and lick his mouth. He gags and pats my face, saying the same nice thing he says all the time, "Cookie, I love you an all, but you need to go on a diet."

That's my cue to get off. I jump down and he sits up. I watch him as he rubs off my kiss, then pats my head. He's so nice.

Buck leads me to the hot water room. He sheds his cloth fur and we take a shower. I like getting soapy. It's like getting a full body petting in slime. Once I'm rinsed off, he pushes me out and I wait for him outside the door. His identical brothers pass me by, most stopping to pet me. I see Grizzer come out with his dad, who goes by Hound, and I go greet him with a butt sniff. Grizzer gets a cheeky look in his eye and I watch as he takes off with a brother's cloth fur, making him chase him. It's his favorite game. I head back over to my dad's door and wait. He comes out seconds later and pets me before putting on some clean fur. Then we head to the sink and he brushes his teeth with a fuzzy stick and foam. After he was done with that, he brushes my teeth with the same stick. The foam always tastes funny. After washing it, he cuts off his face mane. Once done with that, he asks me if I'm hungry. I wiggle happily and follow him out. I took a look back and saw another brother brush his teeth with the same fuzzy stick, gagging hard on it. It's funny every time.

We enter the kennel and he slops kibble into my bowl and leaves me to inhale it in peace. After I finished, I head to his eating area and stop into the middle of the room. I sniff around for him, but everyone smells the same. So I decide to look for him. I sniff each brother to see who responds. Some pushed me away with a hand on my snout, others petted my head and snuck me a treat. I could tell who didn't shower. About six minutes in, I hear my daddy click twice and call my name, "Cookie!" I run over and sit next to him. He pets me and then says a bunch of things I didn't understand. I put a paw on his knee and he sighs before petting my head again. He can't stay mad at me for long. I'm too cute. He gets up and motions for me to follow him. I follow him out of the room and we head to the metal skin room. He puts on a set of metal skin and sprays the inside of his shoes with fake flower scented water before slipping it on. Now it's easier to tell it's him. He slips on the last piece, then takes a leash off a wall hook. I get excited and he laughs as he tries getting me to stop jumping. Once it's on I drag him into the hall. He clicks and jerks it, signaling me to stop. I stop and look up at him happily. He reviews the rules for me, then we head towards the flying metal beasts outside. But we're stopped by his Alpha brother, called Fox, on the way out. I had no idea what they're saying, but I knew he was serious. He usually is. Daddy nods and we take a detour to a small room. He slips me into a fuzzy cloth fur with holes for my spines and leash. The cloth fur had a self warming thingy in it. He nods again and we head out into the cold and climb into the flying metal beast. I smile at Grim, Dingdong, Lily, Duke, Swish, Ouchy, and Measles as they came in with their dads. They looked as happy as me in their colorful cloth fur. Even Dingdong was happy despite the leather cage on his face. The beast lifts into the air and Lily buries her head between her daddy's legs. He squats and pets her under the chin, speaking softly to calm her down. She's a little new to the job.

It finally lands and we all get out. I barked good-bye at the beast as it leaves. Daddy pats my head and we get moving. I sniff everything we passed by in hopes that I'll find something new, or the things daddy wants. We make it to the giant metal worms port and we walk into one. Inside, like always, is a bunch of people and chairs. We slowly walk through the rows. I sniff everyone and everything. Near the back of the metal worm, I smell something bad on this one person. I sit next to them to signal to dad that I found the bad thing. He talks to the person for a bit. The man tried his best to hide it, afraid that I might bite. Not that I would since that's Grizzer, Rumble, Bitey, Corporal, and Bubble's jobs. I just look for drugs and bombs. Buck calls it in and we hold him here until his brothers with sticks and shields show up to take him away. We continue searching and I find a baby in a basket. The poop in her diaper smelled yummy. Dad pulls me away before I can latch my teeth on it and baps my nose. I know what that means. Why is it the only thing he won't let me eat? He pulls me away and I get back to work.

Four drugs later, we leave the worm and wait for the next one. I look up and note that dad's hand is shaking. I didn't like the screaming lady either, but it always hits worse for him. I suspect that it's because they speak the same language. I nudge his hand with my snout and he looks down at me. I tilt my head all cute like. He squats down and pets me, calling me a good girl. The next worm shows up and we head in. We did this about ten more times before our feet got achy. Daddy sits down against the nearby wall and I takes a nap in his lap. He pulls out a flat thing and taps away at it as I snooze. After I wake up, we head back to the worms and search five more before heading back to the pick-us-up spot. I see the others and run over. We talked about what we sniffed and Dingdong lets us sniff the Tooka spray on his face. His dad, named Taze, didn't look happy as he held a broken leash with one hand and clasped Dingdong's harness in the other. I was kinda curious to why Dingdong didn't eat the Tooka in revenge. The flying beast arrives and we get carried back home. Daddy pulls out the flat thing again, but in unison with his brothers. They tap on them all the way there. We arrive home and head to a small room with Fox at a table thing. He sat on the old blue blood stained chair working on his bigger flat thing. Daddy hands his flat thing to him before leaving.

Buck drops me off to play with my siblings and leaves, locking the cage behind him. I wrestled with Lily, Grizzer, and Grim for an hour before getting tired. I decide to look for him and use my teeth to pry open the lock. After a lot of tries, a get out and wandered out. I sniff the ground for his trail until I find him play wrestling his youngest brother. I was always confused to why he had orange fur like the bad people upstairs. I come over and wait til the younger brother was on the ground before licking his face. He greets me like usual, "Gah! Stop licking me! I'm not a dog treat!"

Daddy orders me to stop and helps him up before sending him off to wrestle someone else. He turns back to me and pets me before leading me to back to the kennel. He pets me again, calling me annoying, before locking me in the cage again. He yawns, then I yawn. He waves goodnight, then heads to bed. I wait a few minutes before breaking out again. I head to his kennel and sniff every foot I saw. I find Daddy in a pile of brothers on the cuddle bed. I figured that the angry lady scared him more than I thought, so I decided to cuddle too. I climb over them and flop on him, careful not to poke anyone with my spines. He grunts, then pats my side, giving me a tired smile. He says as he slowly falls asleep, "I'm putting you on a diet tomorrow."

I kiss his chin, then go to sleep. And hopefully tomorrow all the mean people will stop yelling and I'll know what a 'diet' is. Today was a good day.
