Back to school

Sam went to a place called school today. I wasn’t allowed to go because it’s not a place for dogs. Where is a place for dogs then?

My humans go to places called shops, but I’m not allowed in. They took me there one day and left me tied up outside while they went in. I shouted, and shouted and shouted some more for them to come and get me. It just seemed like they were gone forever! I was sure they weren’t coming back. Jack, who was also tied up outside the shop, said not to worry, they go in there and come out after a while, but they always come back for you. It was the scariest time ever in my life.

Sam heard me shouting for him and he did come back after a little while and he sat beside me until the human mummy came outside. I love Sam, he always looks after me and we play together all the time. Sometimes he’ll throw a ball for me to go find and bring back to him. I love to tease him with the ball. I’ll come back to him with it in my mouth and run straight to him, then past him so he’ll chase me.

It was a very, very long day without Sam. I sat at the gate and waited and waited. Pesky said I should get on with other things, like chasing bumble bees because it would make time go faster and before I knew it he’d be home, but I just couldn’t find the energy to chase anything. What if this school place was a place where they stayed forever? Oh, I’d be so sad then. I spent the day getting sadder and sadder until I thought I would just fade away.

He came back! Oh, how happy I was. I didn’t know I could jump that high! I jumped and jumped for joy! And he was so happy to see me. We cuddled and rolled around the floor together until human mummy shouted at us because Sam’s school clothes were getting dirty.
