Queen hazel

Chapter 6

So, this was where we were going to get adopted. I shared a worried glance with Rose, I heard that dogs who don't get adopted for a while get... Put down... My worker brought me into an enclosure, it was plain and simple, also made of glass like the dog training center. Lucky for me, Rose's glass case was right next to mine, that ressured me a little, making me feel a bit safer. We were given some delicious looking knibbles, way better than the dog slop we were fed at the training center. I shivered at the memory, and started happily wolfing down mouthful after mouthful of knibbles.

Suddenly, a tall man entered . For some reason, all the workers bowed when he passed, and murmured: Mr. Bilnos. Turns out, he was one of the richest on earth. It was strange, though, that a billionaire would just randomly come out to adopt dogs. He wanted two dogs, the best, and only the best.

I heard some workers whispering to each other. "He's coming again? Didn't he just come last week, and the week before that, and the week...."

I didn't care about how many dogs he had adopted, the more dogs, the merrier! I started daydreaming, if he was rich, then.... A carriage? No, too old fashioned. A luxury car? Interesting.... "Hazel! Snap out of it!"

Rose prodded me on the side, and whispered, "Mr.Billionaire is coming this way!" I blinked and groomed my fur. This was our chance! Although we only just arrived here, I had this feeling that we were sure to be adopted. The guy came and gave us...No, it couldn't be, but it was! A DIAMOND COLLAR! This meant that not only were we given riches, but it also meant we were officially adopted! The diamond collar was heavy, and it weighed me down. Nevertheless, I forced myself to walk upright, and we followed him into a shiny, black Limo. Inside, the seats were soft and the cushions comfey. I lay down. Ahh... Luxury!! As soon as a MANSION came into view, the car came to a smooth stop. Mr.Bilnos picked us up and placed us on a dog bed, then, servants came rushing, and gracefully carried us (on the beds) and walked into... Oh woe, THE MANSION! We were brought into a large room, with tons of fancy equipment.

On one side was a GIANT fat bouncy bed with chew toys, I hopped in. Then, as I cast my eyes to the opposite side, there was a Kibble generator, a water fountain, and a wondrous playhouse for dogs! We went outside and we saw an amazing lush garden, with dirt places for us to do our business. Sweet! There was a glimmering clear pool, pool chairs, and refreshing lemonade. We wandered outside a bit longer, and found palm trees sprouting above Mr.Bilnos's house. We were swooning at the marble pillars until Mr.Bilnos came over.

"My, my. Already exploring, huh? So, what should I call you guys? Hmm... best ask my daughter, as she got bored with the other dogs, so suggested two new ones." Woah, woah, woah Mr. Bilnos, first, yes, we are exploring. Got a problem? Second, we ALREADY have names! Obviously. Third, so, this daughter of yours. She thinks we're toys? And can just 'get bored' of us and move on? I'm not sure I'd like this life anymore... And where were all the dogs? The workers at the adoption center said he adopted a few...

As we trudged back into the mansion, we heard a very princessy-like voice.

"Daaaaaddy! Where are my new dogs? I want to seeee them!"

"Oh, my sweetie pie, of coooouuursee, please come do-own!" Mr.Bilnos replied.

In a flash, a very princessy looking girl came down. She was around 9, and started inspecting us as if we could either be a useful healing herb, or a deadly poisonous berry. At last, she replied.

"They'll do. Thanks, dad."

What?! I was simply outraged. Rose too, looked like she'd probably explode.

The girl said, "Okay, the Labrador's called Lurvey, and the other one's Andrew."

Terrible names. Simply terrible. Like LURVEY? Who calls a dog that?! And ANDREW? How can that girl call us with BOY names?? We were immediately hustled into the girl's room. She started off by introducing herself.
