The Beginning of Mr. Puggles

Chapter 6 - The Pet Shop

Finally, the commercials ended. And the show came on.
"We gotta get this dog to a hospital, quickly. It looks HORRIBLE." Said a female. She picked up the dog and carried it to the van. The female had long caramel colored hair that had loose curls at the ends. A name popped up at the bottom of the screen: Desiree. So that was her name, apparently. I watched more of the show, which was really cool. Nathan and Vanessa must love dogs. Or animals. I wasn't sure which yet. Maybe they were animal lovers. I rolled over and stuck out my tongue. Nathan rubbed my stomach, which felt amazing. I huffed and puffed. Vanessa leaned over, and looked at me. She smiled a light smile. I returned the smile, except my smile was bigger and brighter. Ok, not brighter probably cause her teeth were very white and pearly. Mine were... Not so much. Soon, the show ended. Vanessa stretched, and Nathan yawned. I stood up and shook myself. Wow.. How long was that show? My body told me it was forever! My body felt numb and sore in some places. My eyes also told me that it was forever. They hurt. But somehow, my brain told me it was barely an hour. I wanted to watch more, and I felt this show went by so fast. I walked off the bed. What to do now..?

I rolled into a blanket, which I had to get the blanket out of the couch's grip. Stupid couch had to have a strong grip! Gosh, so annoying! Anyways, I rolled up in the blanket until I looked like a burrito. I heard giggles going on from Vanessa's room. Or Nathan's room. Or just plain both. I dunno. What the heck where they doing in there?
"St-st-st-OPPPP!" Vanessa continued laughing. I was still wrapped up head-to-toe in the blanket, but heck I could hear both of then clearly.
"It's so cute, watching you laugh." Nathan hummed. Oh for the love of god, Im so interested!!! God help me! I tried to get up. What?! What's wrong? Oh no! I was stuck in the blanket. H-help! Anyone? I thrusted in the blanket. All I kept doing was getting myself stuck over again in the blanket. After a while, I stopped thrusting. If I continued, this could go on forever. I heard more giggling. I started barking. I was so annoyed with myself! Really, just really?! I had to get myself stuck in here at THIS moment!
"Wait wait wait... I think Mr. Puggles has to go out!" I heard Vanessa say. Oh, my sweet sweet Vanessa! I knew she was useful!
"Im gonna go check." She said.
"Ok, but Im coming with you." Nathan replied.
"Fine fine fine, whatever." I heard footsteps. The footsteps were louder by the second.
"Aww! How cute! Poor Mr. Puggles got himself stuck in a blanket!" Vanessa chuckled as she took the blanket off of me. Oh, yes! Victory! I was out of that hell-hole! I sat on Vanessa and licked her face. I love my sweet Vanessa!
"Hehehehe! Stop it! That tickles!" Vanessa giggled.
Nathan smiled.

"I think we should go to the pet store or something.." Nathan said.
"What? Why?" Vanessa asked.
"I don't know.. I just want to go out or something. Mr. Puggles has never been outside." Nathan explained. I looked back and forth at Nathan and Vanessa. Both were sitting on the couch.
"But to go to the bathroom.. He's been outside." Vanessa said.
"In the backyard. That's it. I mean, he should be able to go outside somewhere other than his own backyard, am I correct?" Nathan replied.
"Yea yea.. I suppose so. Then I suppose we get him toys while we are at it.." Vanessa said as she grabbed me and sat me on her lap. Yay! I am loved, after all!
"Ok, then lets go!" Nathan said. He got up and got the leash. Wait a sec.. Im gonna go out! Outside! Other than the backyard!! Yippee!! I immediately hopped off of Vanessa's lap and ran to Nathan. He chucked and clipped the leash to my collar. Weee! I jumped around. How exciting!! Vanessa got up, left the room we were currently in, and then came back a few minutes later with a pair of boots, a jacket, a beanie, and gloves. Holy gosh! If she's dressing up that means.. It's cold!! She held the leash for Nathan, as Nathan left the room. He came back soon wearing a beanie that was similar to Vanessa's, gloves, a jacket, and sneakers. Oh shoot..
"Aw! Poor Mr. Puggles doesn't have his own jacket and stuff yet.." Vanessa said.
"Yea... We should buy him some." Nathan replied.
"Ok!" Vanessa said as we walked out the door.

<><><><><><><><><><><><>

I looked around. The wind felt so nice! It was a bit too cold for my liking, but I suppose I was ok with it. Nathan and Vanessa were talking pretty much the whole time. I tried to run away, since they were pretty distracted.
"No no, Mr. Puggles. You won't get away." Nathan said as Vanessa tugged on my leash. Darn it..
They both went back to their conversation.
"No..! I don't want to!" Vanessa was saying.
"No? Why not? I am the master!" Nathan said back.
"Oh my gosh, you and your ego.." Vanessa sighed. She chuckled.
"Yup, me and my ego are fantastic." Nathan replied.
"Stop it! Your making me laugh!!" Vanessa laughed harder.
Nathan was smiling. "Ok ok. Fine. But seriously. Why not? Your period is over.." He said.
"I don't know.. Im just waiting for this stupid hickey to Go away.." Vanessa said.
"Aww... Ok. But as soon as it goes away you tell me?" Nathan asked.
"Yes, fine."
"Promise?"
"Yes."
"Pinky promise?"
"Yes, Nathan. With all my heart."
"Your super sure your gonna pinky--"
"Hehe, yes! Im super super very sure I will pinky promise! Now no more questions!" Vanessa said with a huge smile on her face.
"Fine..." Nathan said for a moment. I was so into their conversation, I bumped into a tree. Whoops. And ow..!
"So," Nathan continued, "When that hickey does go away, you wear the new thong and bra I gave you, ok? Any new one you want!"
"Oh my gosh!! Shush!!" Vanessa turned bright red.
"Ok ok fine. Sorry. I had to say that." Nathan said.
"Why."
"Im surprised that wasn't a question."
Vanessa huffed. "Why?" She repeated.
"Cause I do not want to forgot." Nathan replied. Vanessa rolled her eyes.
"Your so weird sometimes. You know this, right?" Vanessa asked.
"And your so sexy most of the time. You know this, right?" Nathan replied back.
"Stopp!" Vanessa blushed.
Nathan just watched her and chuckled.
"But its true, though." He murmured.

<><><><><><><><><><><>

We walked into the store. Not many people were there. Nathan and Vanessa walked through aisles, picking up things along the way. Dog food, a scooper, and bowls were soon collected. We went to the clothing aisle. Holy gosh. There were so many things! From hats to tiny little doggie shoes!
"Awww! How cute!" Vanessa said.
She picked up a black piece of clothing. Oh my gosh, no! She picked up more pieces of clothing. A blue one, and boots. Dog boots. Seriously? People still make those? I looked at every piece of clothing.
There were 4 black boots, 1 sky-blue sweatshirt that had no pattern on it, and 1 pair of black sweatpants. Hell no. I do not want to wear those!
"Hey Mr. Puggles? Do you like these?" Vanessa asked. I shook myself. No Vanessa. No I do not. I hoped she knew I meant no and not that I was itchy.
"Does that mean a yes?" Vanessa asked. Oh for goodness sake woman! Are you stupid or something!!?!?
"Aww! He does like it!" Nathan said. Oh goodness, no! Nathan is stupid, too?! I was hoping he could save me!
"Ok, lets buy them!" Vanessa said. We walked about an inch.. And stopped. Right there.. In front of me.. Was a god damned doggie hat. It was black, the same color as the boots. Vanessa and Nathan chuckled.
"A little outfit for our sweet little Mr. Puggles!" Vanessa said. She grabbed one of the smallest hats and put the circular thing over my head. She velcrowed the two sides together, and let go. The stupid hat was on my head. It stayed, not falling off. Seriously? I so do not want this! This is horrible! I shook my head several times to give then the hint.
"No no Mr. Puggles. You need this. Then, you will not catch a cold." Nathan explained. I would so much rather get a god damned cold than wear this stupid piece of garbage.
Vanessa took the hat off my head and carried it. We went all the way to the counter. Vanessa and Nathan. Picked out more toys there, and bought everything. Yay for almost everything. Nay for the stupid dumb clothes that I do not want to wear.. The cashier put everything in a bag. Nathan dug out the clothes and Vanessa payed for everything.
"54.99." The cashier said. Vanessa handed over money.
"And now so you do not get cold." Nathan said as he put on the sweater. God dammit no! He put on sweatpants. Oh, he's going all for it. He then sat down, and put on the boots. It took a few minutes for that. Then, he put on the hat. I was not happy at all. We all walked out of the store.
"Puppy!!" I heard a little girl cheer. I smelt something... Oddly familiar. I looked up, and saw a dog. It had wide eyes and.. Oh my god. It was a Boston Terrier! I immediately started running towards it.
"Whoa!" Nathan said, holding on to the leash. I smelt the dog's pee-pee area. It smelt like a dog. Good!
"Mr. Puggles! Stop that!" Vanessa said.
