The Puppy

Chapter Three

Renning awoke in the middle of the night to barking, howling, yapping, and just about every other sound you could imagine coming from a puppy. He rushed into the puppy's room, which happened to be the spare bedroom, to see what was the matter.

He arrived to see the cute little face of the puppy, staring up at him.

"What is it, Renny?"

Renny continued to stare at him, with a look of loneliness in his eyes.

"Aww, are you lonely, Renny?"

He began barking louder than ever; Renning even had to cover his ears.

"No, you are not sleeping in my room!"

But Renny began barking uncontrollably, so Renning scooped him up in his arms and took him to his room.

"Fine, but you have to sleep in the floor."

Renning laid back on his own bed, while Renny laid down on the floor.

This lasted a whole two minutes--tops.

Just as Renning was falling back asleep, Renny jumped up onto his bed and curled up on his face.

"No, Renny!"

Renny just looked at him with his huge puppy eyes, and Renning moved him over to the other side of the bed, and they both slept like this...for a couple of hours, until Renny began kicking Renning in the face...repeatedly.

"Renny! What are you doing?!"

But the puppy was sound asleep, and even the duke's yelling could not awaken him.

So, Renning decided to take his pillows and retreat to the couch to try to get a good night's sleep.

In the morning, Renning awoke to a puppy licking his face.

"Renny! What are you doing?!"

Renny barked, jumped off the couch, and ran into the kitchen. When Renning didn't follow him, he ran back and tugged on his shirt.

"What, Renny?"

Duke Renning got up and followed Renny to the kitchen, where he noticed a bowl of food, which was untouched, set out for Renny.

"Oh, I see the chef got you some food. Why haven't you eaten it yet?"

At that, Renny began whining.

"What do you need, Renny?"

Renny began eating from his dish, looking up every once in a while to see if his owner was still there.

"So you're going to…make me watch you eat?"

Renny stopped eating, looked up, barked once, and resumed eating.

Renning sighed. "This is going to be a long week…"

Renny looked up and seemed to be nodding in agreement. He then proceeded to beg for more food.
