A puppy called Lockdown: Episode 1
Posted 4 years ago in the A puppy called Lockdown series category
Meet Lockdown, a puppy destined for great things.
Today I decided to take a peek at the world and I opened my eyes for the first time. In my warm and snuggly bed everything smelled lovely and I really wanted to know what the noises were that I could hear around me. Squeaks and snuffles and a deep rumble from Mummy as we all fed. Gentle thump thumps on all sides from other bodies around me and further away I could hear a weird clip clop coming and going and other creatures taking it in turns to make sounds that went up and down, loud and soft.
I wriggled about and with a big yawn, I opened first one eye, then the other. You’ll never guess what, there are lots of us here with our Mummy. I felt her soft breath on me as I looked up and she gave me a reassuring nudge. There was so much to look at!
We were all in bed together and I snuffled at the one closest to me. ‘Hello’, I pulled myself forward a bit and he stuck his paw up my nose which made my eyes water. Hmmm, this moving with seeing lark would take some practice. One of the others started to clamber over us all to go to Mummy for food. Time for a little explore I think.
Just as my nearest companion turned to me I felt the bed move a bit and there above us all was a big creature without much fur and they squeaked really loudly and showed their teeth to us. It was a bit scary but Mummy gave us a lick and we felt she was calm and happy so we went towards the furless creature a bit.
‘Oh look at you, you’ve decided to open your eyes today. Well done Lockdown, we were wondering when you’d join the others.’ Lockdown?
They tickled me a bit round my ears and made lots of happy sounding noises so I relaxed and thought to myself, there’s so much to look forward to! Then I fell asleep.
