Lisa woke up with a yawn and hopped out of bed. She looked at the clock and smiled.
"Yes! It's Saturday! I don't have to work today!" She said happily as she walked down stairs and into the kitchen. Jackson was already down stairs, pawing at his food bowl.
'It's empty…so put some food in it.' Lisa laughed at him and picked up his food and water bowl, filling them and putting back down on the floor. Jackson barked happily and started to eat. After eating, Jackson walked over to Lisa, who was sitting at the table.
"You were hungry, weren't you?" she asked with a smile as she started to pet him. He wagged his tail and rested his head on her knee. She laughed and kissed him on the nose.
'Wouldn't let me rest my head on your leg and gimmie kisses if you knew who I was…' Jackson sneezed and walked away. He came back a few minutes later with his leash in his mouth. He dropped it on her lap and walked over to the door, pawing at it.
"I'm guessing you want to go for a walk." She said a smile.
"Let me go change my clothes and then we'll go." Jackson licked his nose and sat down in front of the door.
Lisa took Jackson's leash off and let him run around the park. After finishing his "business", Jackson came back and stuck his head in the bag filled with his toys that Lisa had brought and grabbed his tennis ball. Lisa laughed as Jackson dropped the ball at her feet. She picked it up and tossed it. Jackson wagged his tail and ran after it. This went on for a good hour and a half until Lisa got tired and had to sit down.
"You're an athletic one aren't you?" She asked with a smile as she fell backwards and looked at the sky.
"I'm glad I adopted you. Maybe now I won't be so alone. Jackson was right when he said I was such a loner. But now that I have you…maybe I won't so lonely now." Jackson sat down and then lay down next to Lisa.
'She sounds like her feelings are hurt…it was just a job…no one was supposed to get hurt except the target. Physically or mentally.' Lisa looked at him and rubbed his belly.
'Oh dear lord that feels good.' Jackson's tail began to thump loudly on the ground and Lisa laughed.
"I think some one is enjoying himself." Lisa said as she wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her nose in his fur.
"You're so soft…" Lisa said with a smile. Jackson whimpered and Lisa let go of him.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
'I shouldn't be here. You shouldn't own me, I should walking through the park one two human legs, and…this doesn't make sense.' Lisa looked at him and scratched behind his ears.
"Why don't we go home?" Lisa said as she put his leash back on him and grabbed the bag.
Lisa opened the door and Jackson walked inside. Lisa looked at him; eyes full of concern and let him walk around the house while she went up stairs. When she got into her room, Jackson was already there, lying on her bed. She giggled and he wagged his tail. She smiled and walked into the bathroom. When she came back she was already in her pajamas. Lisa got into bed and Jackson jumped off, walking over to his own bed.
"Hey…get back up here." Lisa said with a smile. Jackson barked and hopped onto her bed. Lisa laughed and tossed the blanket over Jackson and herself. She smiled and turned off the light.
"Good night Jackson…I'll see you in the morning."
'Good night Lisa…'
