_Ugh it’s here, _I thought as they walked through the door. I had gone through this once before with my last humans. Spent months being called a good boy and watching a bump grow, only to be left at home with no warning. That’s how I knew what the warning signs were this time around.

I’m still fairly young myself, and my previous owners couldn’t take care of me anymore once _theirs_ came. That’s ...

When the front door opened, I knew something was different.

I’m Leo. Four-year-old Labrador. Ball enthusiast. Squirrel chaser. Certified Good Boy. And up until about two hours ago, the center of this home’s universe.

I was waiting by the window when they pulled into the driveway. I saw the car seat through the glass and smelled something new before the door even opened. The scent hit me like a s...

When I first saw her face, I knew we would be best friends.

You see, Kendran is the new “puppy” in the house. At least, I think she’s a puppy… If she is, it’s almost unfortunate due to her lack of fur… Seriously, I do not know what went wrong in her birth but something screwed up because she’s BALD! I remember when I was a puppy and not just a dog, and I was SHAGGY to say the very least! There’s a...

Writing Prompt: June 19 - "Write from the perspective of a family puppy adapting to a newborn baby coming home for the first time."

Ohhhh why haven't they put it outside yet?

When I was little and whined like that, I was placed in the backyard expeditiously. I don't know what makes this furless wonder any different, but for some reason when he whines and whines and whines they just hold him and ...

I was asleep on the kitchen floor, belly pressed against the cool tiles. The car door slammed and my head sprang up. I heard the crunch of feet on the gravel, the jingling of keys, and the creak of the front door as it swang open. I frantically looked around for something to grab, and settled on an old lonely slipper half sticking out from under the sofa. The two of them came in, as they normally ...

They’re home

They’re home

Can’t wait

They’re late

What is that

Not a cat

Even worse

She’s got a large purse

It’s a little person

I’m here behind the curtain

No one noticed me

I’m gunna squirt and pee!...

It was a casual morning im waiting at my bowl for my kibble. Janet walked over to pour me my breakfast.

Me: ruff ruff ruff ruff ruff roof (took you long enough fatso. If you were faster to feed me maybe you wouldnt have gotten so fat.)

Janet: Mr. Peanut be nice you cranky sister.

Me:ruff ruff roof (let me eat Janet!!)

As my lovely Janet is going up she suddenly used the bathroom in the kitc...

“Our humans are home! Our humans are home! I can hear them in the driveway. C’mon Mama! Let’s see what they brought!”

I turn around in circles and fall a couple times because my feet are too big, but Mama just sits there. She perked up her ears and sniffed the air, but then she put her head down on her crossed front paws. Then, the door opens. Mama lifts up her head sniffs the air and walk...

They used to give me that same love. See it, there? The look in their eyes? Even their words are similar: “Oh, she’s so cute. Ah, look at what she did!” She can do no wrong, and I used to not be able to either. Now, I sit in my bed in the corner of the room, watching. They don’t even care when I make a silly noise or drop my toy at their feet anymore. They haven’t taken pictures of me in days. I h...

As I looked down at this strange little human I saw many things. I saw how my owners looked at it. It made me jealous because I know they would replace me with this tiny human. My owner were in awe of a small human who looked like a wrinkled potato. All I could think about was how this child would change my world. For better or worse. I think for worse. I watched as they aooo and ahhhhed of the ba...
