The Pookie amazement continues! . . . joined by an ultra embarrassing Zim moment.
Before I left for work this morning, I had the honor of receiving a good poop from Pookie (after about 10 minutes of running back and forth in his viv) and was promptly told to clean it up. After removing the evil poop and assuring him that it's all clean, I took him out and placed him on his perch in front of the window. Immediately after that, I left for work.
When I got home around 6:30pm, I ended up being shanghi'd by a neighbor and her daughter for a half hour. Towards the last 15 minutes of our conversation, I kept hearing a dog howling and crying and barking, but I ignored it thinking that it was another neighbor's dog. Well, all that howling and crying suddenly came out from my living room window! I turned to look and saw Zim's head peaking out from the window and the same howl and cries that I'd been hearing for 15 minutes. I was so embarrassed! Because of my mortified embarrassment, I didn't acknowledge his cries, which prompted for even more and much louder howls and cries, followed by a few sounds that I could swear translated to "Get in the house and say hi to me already!". So, being the good puppy slave, I bid my farewells to my neighbor and walked towards my house with my head hung low and my "tail" between my legs. Can we say "L-O-S-E-R"?
After 5 minutes of hugging and kissing and apologizing to Zim, I was finally able to walk beyond the front door and upstairs to check on Pookie. Uh oh! Pookie wasn't sitting on his perch! Just as I was getting ready to do a house search, I turned to look at his viv and low and behold, Pookie! I was so shocked to see him in there that I actually jumped back and gasped, and I guess my gasp startled Pooks because he whipped his head around and gave me a death glare.
Can you believe it?! He went home all by himself!
