Dumpster Diving
Every morning after I wake up I walk around the city and look for breakfast. A lot of these buildings have these big green boxes outside with lots of smells and things to play with but most importantly they have food! If I’m early enough I can play with all the things and eat all the food before the big loud truck comes and takes it all away. My favorite place to eat from the big green box is a place where the person who fills the box has a mustache and wears a big white hat and he talks a like a this. I think his name is Pete Za? That’s what the humans say when they come here at least. It looks like another dog is already using this big green box. I don’t mind sharing but he seems mean. He’s growling he’s definitely mean. No worries I’ll try another green box. Oh! This is my other favorite! I think the humans call it a sand witch? It doesn’t have any sand but it definitely tastes magical. Oh? This man and his daughter are looking at me. I hope it’s not cause they wanted this sand witch. I’ll bring them some. They look nervous. I’ll wag my tail so they know I’m nice. Ok, they look happier. I’ll just put my sand witch down in front of them. They’re not taking it. Oh! Pets! I love pets. I’m going to give them my favorite hello, lots of licks! The little girl is giggling and asking “can we keep it?” Of course they can keep it, I can find more food later! The man is saying he doesn’t see any tags. They want to play tag? I love tag! I’m going to tag the man. Oh! He’s picking me up! It’s like I’m flying! Where are they taking me? I hope it’s to see Pete Za. I’m still hungry. Oh, they’re taking me inside a building, this must be their home. My home is a cardboard box. I don’t go in buildings much. They’re showing me a bowl of water, normally I have to lick the puddles for this stuff! The man said tomorrow I’m going to a vet whatever that means and if I’m a good boy and I’m healthy I can live here and they’ll get me food and toys and a bed. Which is amazing cause I never had a bed, no one ever puts any in the big green boxes. What a great day. I saw Pete Za, ate a sand witch, played tag, drank water, and tonight I get to cuddle with humans. I think I’m going to get used to this.
