Good Boy

I checked what food I had in my refrigerator. As expected, I had few items. I certainly didn't have any dog food. I would stop by the local pet store tomorrow and get some supplies. It had been a long time sense I owned a pet. I used to have a cat but my exboyfriend took her when he left. I had thought about another pet sense then, but I was thinking more along the lines of like a lizard or snake. OOOH! Or a bunny! I liked bunnies. But this cute dog would work just as well, plus he seamed to be a great listener already.

I pulled out some day old Chinese food and heated it up in the microwave. Once it was heated up I poured half into a bowl and set it on the floor. I ate the other half as I watched the dog eat its own food. I checked my watch; 1:27AM. Normally by now I would be curled up on the couch, watching some stupid late night television show until I was tired enough to fall asleep. But tonight, I was excited; therefore not tired.

Once we were done eating I set the dishes in the sink and went to the bathroom to run a bath, I wanted to wash the grime and alleyway off the dog. Once the tub was filled I didn't even have to fight the dog in the tub. In fact, as soon as I told him it was bathtime he ran in and jumped in the tub. Once he was in the tub I poured some of my own body wash onto my hand and lathered it on his back. I sat on the toilet with the lid closed. It was right next to the tub so I could easily reach. As I scrubbed bubbles started to form in the water. I picked up the dogs feet and scrubbed his paws. When I scrubbed its belly he sat down, but stood right back up when I scrubbed his neck. I scrubbed his back some more and slowly made my way to the dogs rear. I got close to the dogs tail and he flinched, almost startled that I went beyond his middle back.

"Your gross, I have to" I stated. The dog gave a groaning noise and turned, getting closer to where I could reach. This was starting to get weird. Whoever owned this dog before were either really great trainers or this dog understood English. I shrugged it off and began to rinse the dog, clearing all the soap off. The dog piped in excitement and turned to face me once more. I turned to grab a towel out of the cabinet. When I turned back the dog had a huge pile of soapy bubbles on his nose. I squatted down and laughed. I was about to wipe it off when the dog leaped out of the tub and rubbed the soap on my nose instead. It piped again and shook its body, flinging water all over the bathroom. I sat in shock. There was water everywhere and the soap began to drip into my nose.

"You're an asshole, you know that?" I told him. I wiped the soap off my nose then dried the dog off with the towel. I accidentally brushed his..... boy dog part.... and the dog practically jumped. It looked at me with wide eyes and I mumbled an apology. Before I could finish drying him off, he took off out of the bathroom. I sighed and began to wipe the water off everything and drain the bathtub. Once the dogs mess was cleaned up I looked down at myself. I had already been sweaty and gross from work, now I had dog hair and dog water all over me. I sighed again and stripped.

Once I was out of the shower I dried myself off and walked to my bedroom to retrieve some clothes, not even bothering to wrap the towel around my waist. When I walked into my room I found the dog sitting beside my bed, its eyes drifting in and out of consciousness. Poor ting must be tired. When he noticed me walk in, his eyes got wide. He made an awkward throat noise.

"What?" I asked. The dog looked away and tried to fall back asleep. Weirdo. "Maybe that's what I should call you, weirdo" I giggled. But seriously, what did in want to name him? I thought about it as I pulled on a pair of shorts. Then I got an idea.

I walked into the living room and found my smartphone. I dialed my girlfriends number, she would know what to call him. The phone rang twice until it picked up.

"hello?" Lindsey's tired voice came though the line.

"HEY LYNZ GUESS WHAT?"

"Gerard, its 2 in the morning, this better be important I'm tired"

"wrong answer. I got a dog!"

"a what?"

"A dog"

"why do you have a dog?"

"I found the poor guy on the street on my way home. I need help naming him"

"ill come over tomorrow, goodnight Gee"

"night babe"

I looked down at the dog who was watching me curiously. I started to feel tired so I turned off the lights and crawled into my bed. A few moments later a felt a shift of weight on the bed. The dog curled up at my feet and I smiled to myself.

"night, pup"
