My human is SITTING. My human has been sitting for so long and I did not know she could sit this still, this is a NEW way to sit, a quiet way, and I put my chin on her knee to help.
There are so many smells here! Sharp smells. Clean smells that are hiding other smells underneath, sneaky smells, I could smell those all DAY. A man across from us smells like fear and coffee. A little one is crying and I want to fix it, I could fix it, I have a lot of licks ready.
The door keeps making the good sound! WHOOSH! Every time it whooshes I stand up because it could be OUR person, it could be the one we are waiting for, and a lady in the soft clothes comes out and says a name that is not our name. Not our name. Not our name yet. That's okay! I will keep waiting. I am the BEST at waiting, I did not know I was this good at it until today.
My human squeezed the tissue very small. Her hands are shaking a little and I don't know why but I know my job. My job is here. My job is the chin on the knee.
WHOOSH. She stood up fast this time. She made a big sound and put both hands on her face and she is walking fast toward someone in a chair with wheels, someone she loves, I can smell that she loves them, and she is SMILING and crying at the same time which is the best confusing thing.
Everybody is coming back. Everybody I love always comes back.
And when we go home, there will be a snack.
