My Twisted Experience

Chapter 2

(Picture of Ella)

The next morning, my alarm clock didn't go off. I looked over to see what happened but it wasn't there. I looked up and saw myself, I was a dog! It looked like I was a doberman with blue eyes, and a black and brown coat.

"Ella!! Come here!", I heard from another room.

I jumped out of bed, it took a minute to adjust to my four feet instead of two. I walked out of the room and into another room where I saw a little girl and a little boy playing with what looked like little action figures, they looked like 5 year old twins to me.

The little boy and girl both had blonde hair and brown eyes.

The little girl didn't leave the room though.

I eventually found the person who called for Ella, it was a man with short, dark brown hair and a beard, and his eyes were brown.

I walked to him and he looked down at me and said, "There you are girl, I was wondering if you forgot your name," he chuckled to himself, "but you're a good girl.".

He asked me if I had to go outside, I knew that word, just then I felt something move.

I turned around and saw it was my tail.

We walked into the kitchen, he put my leash on and we went outside, it felt so good to relieve myself.

I tugged to go inside and he took me in. When we got inside, I got a treat and a kiss on the head.

He went into the living room and said, "Mia, Miles. Time for breakfast!".

They both called back, "Ok daddy.". They got their breakfast and started eating. The man sat down and played with me.

About thirty minutes later I heard a car pull into the driveway. I ran to the door and started yelling, "Who's there!".

"Ella, quiet! No bark.". That's when I remembered, 'I'm a dog no one can understand me.'.

I was told to sit, so I sat. The back door opened and a woman with red hair and blue eyes walked in with another dog, it looked like a mastiff. It was definitely a male, he was a head taller than me, with a tan body and dark brown, almost black, face and paws. He looked young, maybe about 2 years old.

I walked over to the man and sat by his feet. The other dog sat down beside the lady that brought him in.

Once he sat down and saw me, he started drooling all over the floor.

"Yuck!', I thought to myself.

"Hey Justin, I'm home.", said the red headed woman.

"Hello Tiffany.". He walked over and gave her a kiss, "Where did you go? I got up this morning and you weren't in bed".

"I went to my parents house for breakfast, but after I left, look who I found roaming the streets, I took him to the shelter, but they said they were at maximum occupation, and if they did take him, they would need to put him down. So I brought him home.".

"Are you sure you want such a big dog, honey? You barely wanted to get Ella.".

"Yes, he's a good boy.".

"Ok, if your sure, we need to take him to the vet. Well, so does Ella, we can take them together.".

"Ok, lets go!".

They told Mia and Miles to get dressed and brush their teeth, they were done in about 15 minutes.

Justin took the big dog's leash and Tiffany put mine on. We went to the car, it was a big red van. Tiffany opened the car door, me and the other dog jumped in the far back, while the kids got in the middle. Justin and Tiffany got in the front seats. Justin started the car and they started talking.

I wasn't paying any attention though. I kept thinking of Lexie and Peach, and what they were doing without me.

***

I'm not sure how long we were in the car, but it felt like forever.

Justin and Tiffany got out of the car, while Mia and Miles unbuckled and got out. Justin picked up my and the mastiff's leash. He gave me to Tiffany and he kept the mastiff's leash.

We walked into the vet. Tiffany signed us in and we waited.

A few minutes later the doctor came out. He was an older man with glasses and a stethoscope around his neck.

I looked up at him and he said, "Henderson's!".

"That's us.", Justin stood up, Tiffany stood with him.

"My name's Dr. Miller. Follow me please.".

Tiffany and Justin led Mia, Miles, the other dog and I into another room.
Tiffany tried to get the other dog onto the table, but he didn't want to get up. He seemed scared.

Dr. Miller looked at me and said, "Would Ella like to go first?",

"Sure, that's fine.", Tiffany said. Justin told me to get up, so I jumped up. It took a minute but with Tiffany's help, I got up.

Justin told me to lay down, so I did. He told me to stay, so I stayed.

Dr. Miller walked over to me and checked my heart, my eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

He looked from me to Justin to Tiffany, "Well, she has a nasal infection. I just need to give you a drop you need to give her everyday for 5 days. She's healthy otherwise.".

"So Ella will be ok?", asked Mia. she sounded worried, I could smell it on her too, smelled just like dirty socks.

"Yes, She'll be just fine.". Dr. Miller reassured Mia .

"Ok, is that it?", Justin asked. "Yep, now for the mastiff, what's his name?" said Dr. Miller.

"We discussed it in the car." Tiffany said, as she looked at Justin as he nodded, "We decided on Henry.".

"Nice name." Dr. Miller replied.
I was still up on the table laying down. Henry decided it wasn't so bad, so he jumped up and laid down beside me.

He snuggled in beside me and said, "Being close to you makes me feel better.".

I thought for a second, I wasn't sure what to tell him. I ended up just smiling, but I couldn't, I just started panting. "Before you check him out, could you tell us how old he is?", asked Justin.

Dr. Miller felt around Henry and said, "He seems to be about 1½-2 years old."

After our appointment, Henry and I were exhausted, Justin, Tiffany, Mia, and Miles went into the pet store to get Henry a dog bed.

When I turned to say something to Henry, I realized he was sleeping. I had been thinking about what Henry said to me at the vet. I decided it wasn't important, so I snuggled up and fell asleep by his side.
