11/02: Happy Valentine's
The little puppy hopped enthusiastically against the metal grills separating the cages."What's up?" the old tom asked the eager beagle.
"He's back again!! He's back again!!!" she gushed.
He opened his one good eye and watched the excited puppy lazily.
"Who?"
"The boy who came yesterday!! I think he likes me!! I am sure I will be adopted soon!!!" she continued her elated dance against the grills.
"You never learn do you? Remember the last family who adopted you? They kept you for only what? One month? Before they sent you back here again?" The old tom stood up and yawned.
"But I am sick of staying here!!" She whined. "I want to have an owner to take care of me and love me!!"
"This is not the first time I am telling you this lass. AND this is not the first time you got sent back here. I don't want to see you coming back here again and whining to me about how much you miss them 'owners' of yours again." He lied down again and scratched his ear. "You should learn to be like me, eat when they offer you food, but be sparing with the affection you give them. You should learn to own them, not let them own you. And when you don't like it, just leave. no strings attached is a happy cat."
"But...but.. the festive season is coming... I don't want to be here alone during the festives! I want to be hugged and loved during the festives!!" She whined again.
"Learn, my dear girl, when are you ever gonna learn to break the cycle..." He sighed and closed his eye as his thoughts drifted to old days...
