Thoughts of a Dog: Teo

Hi. My name is Teo. I’m something called a Double Doodle. Half Labradoodle, half Goldendoodle. I have no idea what any of that means.

My family recently abandoned me. They took ALL of their belongings, many related to something called “skiing.” The words “powder” and “Tahoe” were thrown around a lot. This is not the first time.

Everyone kept saying goodbye to me, and I know they have done this before, but they are not coming back again. I can feel it.

About 17.5 hours later, this nice-smelling lady walked in the door and I had to attack her with kisses. She laughed at me and gave me smooches and pets.

Now that I really think about it, she stopped by yesterday and talked to the Head Human, who the shorter humans call “Mom.” She runs things here. This guy “Dad” is her assistant.

The nice-smelling lady has stayed with me before, but I think it was 100 years ago. The Head Human says a few months, but I don’t know. I don’t know who to trust.

This is my new life now. The nice-smelling lady gave me lots of treats and thought she was tricking me back into the house, but the joke’s on her cause I was ready for my 13th nap of the day. Fool!

Wait. She left. What the fluff? She was here, dropped off all kinds of crazy things. Clothes? A suitcase? Toothpaste? I mean, clearly, she lives here now.

WHY DID SHE LEAVE? WHY IS EVERYONE ABANDONING ME? I am going to go eat that silky slingshot thing she left on the dryer.

20 HOURS LATER…

OMG, yeah! NSL is back! I am so happy! She just gave me pets and laughed at me! Why are these weird humans constantly laughing at my pain?

I heard the words “silly goose” and “only 15 minutes.” That is not possible. I could FEEL myself aging. She was gone for at least a week.

I’m so glad she’s back. Maybe I should play it cool, and ignore her for a while.

Why does she have even more clothes? God, she’s so weird. I can’t wait to make her play fetch.
