September 17: Writing Prompt #260-The Cat Says Meow

Write a story about yourself from the perspective of an object, thing, animal, or another person.
Well, this one should be short and sweet. How about one from the perspective of my dog, Gunner?

Gunner (looking back on the day of his rescue from the shelter):  I was happy that lady let me out of the cage, and I couldn’t wait to get out of that place where all the dogs were sad. I loved riding in her car.  I kept trying to sit up front because that’s where I could see the best, but the lady wouldn’t let me go there.  That sucked. Then we got to a house, and she took me out back. I peed, chased a cat across the yard, and then smelled all there was to smell pretty quick, and I asked the lady if I could go inside.  Inside was AWESOME! I ran around everywhere, and she didn’t stop me.  That’s when I knew this house would be mine! Then the short person came home and then the tall man.  Everything changed when they came in.  I like that lady, though. She gives me treats, lets me go wherever I want (most of the time), and gives me these things they call, “kisses” all the time.  I wasn’t so sure about those at first, but I don’t mind them now.  I like to sit in her chair with her and sleep right in between her and the tall man.  I think maybe I’ll stay here.  I don’t feel so much like running away anymore…which is how I ended up in the sad dog place anyway.
