My paws ran me to the window when my
ears told me Mom went out the front door without myself. My eyes watched her walking in the yard till she went someplace I couldn’t see. I looked really, really hard trying to know where she went but she was gone! I was all alone! What if she never came back to me? I whimpered but Mom couldn’t hear me — she was very gone. I kept looking and looking for her longer than a very long time. Finally my head just hung itself down and I stared at the floor. Oh woe was Mom’s little boy left all alone in the world. Suddenly a noise came to my ears again. Could it be? Almost faster than my feet could touch the floor, I ran to the door and there she was — my Mom! Jumping up and down, I barked,“Oh pick me up. PLEEEEEZZZZ pick me up!” As she scooped me in her arms I hardly heard her say, “Turbo, I was only outside five minutes,” ‘cause I was too busy being happy which made my sad go away.
