STORY STARTER

Submitted by Ed Rowe

Write from the perspective of a family puppy adapting to a newborn baby coming home for the first time.

Baby’s Home

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 heard one of them explaining that they’re worried to put her too close to me because I might get agitated. Well, yeah. Why wouldn’t I be? The baby is home and now I’m an afterthought. I used to be the family baby!
