There are SO MANY of my people here and they are all wearing their SHINY skins and they smell like flowers and nervous and SOAP.
My human is at the front. My human is crying! But it is the GOOD crying, the leaky-happy kind, I know the difference, I have smelled every kind of crying my human has and this is the one where the tail should wag. My tail is wagging. My tail is the BEST tail.
Everyone is quiet. Why is everyone quiet? Is it a treat? Is a treat coming? I sat down. I am being SO GOOD.
There is a small pillow and on the pillow are two tiny round things and they smell like nothing, like metal, like the fence, and my human and the other nice human touch the tiny things and then everyone makes a huge happy BARK all at once and I bark too because we are all barking now, this is the best bark of my LIFE.
Then. THEN. The other human, the one my human keeps smelling and touching, this human lives in our house NOW. Forever. I checked. Their smell is in the bed. Their shoes are by the door with the good shoes.
There is a table with CAKE on it and it is up high but tables have edges and edges have crumbs and crumbs come DOWN.
My human is laughing and holding the new human's hand and they both smell like each other now, one smell, my two favorites folded into one, and this is it, this is the best day, and I get to be here for ALL of it, and there is CAKE.
