| Last week, Debbie and I got into our Basenji bus and drove ALL day to a place called Mini Apple Us. We drove so long that I figured we were going to a lure coursing trial. But you know what? When we got to this big city, she drove down under the ground to a horrible parking lot then left me in my crate. And when she came back to get me a little while later is when the horror began. First of all, she brought this strange man back with her to get me. He had a big wheelie-thing that he put our suitcase on and my food and my soft crate and some other things. I growled at him because I knew he wasn't supposed to be around our stuff. I was afraid he was going to put me on there, too, but Debbie decided I should walk with her. Then we stepped into this little room where Debbie pushed a dot on the wall which made the door close, and all of a sudden the floor moved. As a matter of fact, the whole little room felt like it was trying to fly or something. I was terrified! I didn't know whether to stand, sit, or take off running. Finally the door opened again and I dragged Debbie out of there as fast as I could. Unfortunately, I had no idea where we were. We had been in that underground parking lot when the door closed, and when the door opened, we were inside of a huge room with hundreds of people. I have no idea where the cars went. Next we walked across the huge room and I thought I was going to have a heart attack. The floor was really slippery and my feet couldn't get any traction. And there were people everywhere! And wouldn't you know it---Debbie took me in another one of those little rooms that flies and pushed another dot on the wall. This time when the door opened, the scenery had changed again and we were in this long hallway. Debbie opened one of the hallway doors again and I saw a big bed for us. Whew! At least I've been in a sleeping room like that before! The strange man gave us back our suitcase and my soft crate and my dog food and left. This was more like it! It wasn't such a bad place. I even had a big window that I could sit in front of and watch the humans down on the street. But then Dave showed up. I thought I was spending some time with Debbie alone in the sleeping room. I didn't know Dave was going to sleep with us. Oh well… At least Jagger wasn't there, too. After a bit, all three of us went for a walk. Debbie just HAD to take me across that slippery floor again to get outside. And outside wasn't much better. There were two little pieces of grass for me to potty on, and there were big trucks and busses that kept honking. I just wanted to finish my business and get back to our sleeping room. I was really tired that night when I went to bed! The next day, Debbie grabbed my leash and we went into the flying room, across the slippery floor, and back out to that noisy street where the two little pieces of grass were. I was beginning to think I would just run on back home. But Debbie made us keep walking for a long time, and we ended up in a park. A park with squirrels! We chased squirrels for a while then went back to our sleeping room. I felt much better after that. |
Sometimes during our trip, she and Dave would make me
go in my soft crate and then leave. I have no idea where
they went, but at least I was safe in the sleeping room.
For the next three days, Debbie and I would walk to the
squirrel park or maybe sit in front of the window and
watch things, or maybe take a nap together on the big
bed. Then one morning we got up really early and took
all of our stuff back down to the underground parking lot,
and drove away. Dave went with us this time. Next time I
looked out the window because we were slowing down,
we really were at a lure coursing trial! I was so excited
because I would get to run
And run I did! I got another big ribbon for running that
day. It was really hot outside, but I didn't care. I ran as
fast as I could every time.
After I got my ribbon, we got back into the Basenji bus
and started driving again. We stopped at a much better
sleeping room this time that had it's own door to the
outside and LOTS of trees and grass. It's a shame I
didn't feel much like walking around---I had a tummy
ache. Me and Debbie went to bed early because we
were so tired. But sometime in the middle of the night, I
started feeling really sick so I jumped over to Dave's bed
to throw up. I have no idea how he knew I was going to
be sick, but he pushed me off and made me throw up on
the floor. Then he yelled and Debbie started gathering
up towels. It's not my fault I was sick. I just went back to
bed and let Debbie do whatever she was doing.
The last morning we drove for a long time again and
stopped at a dog show that had lots of Basenjis there. I
was introduced to a young Basenji girl that was some
funny color I had never seen before. She actually went
home with us! I have no idea why. But Debbie said she
was going to be my best friend. I already have a best
friend named Debbie. I don't need TWO best friends!
Maybe she was just homeless and Debbie felt sorry for
her. Oh well. At least I was back home at this point. I
don't care who's there as long as I have my own bed and
my quiet yard with squirrels in it. I sure hope I never
have to go in another one of those flying rooms again
either!
