A puppy called Lockdown: Episode 3

Posted 4 years ago in the A puppy called Lockdown series category

Meet Lockdown, a puppy destined for great things.

It was very quiet in the house this morning but Zoom and I woke up as soon as the light started to come. We enjoy snuggling up together and after having a nice big feed we had another snooze.

Mummy Faith has started to leave us alone a bit more now and we are all getting to know each other.

Furlough sleeps a lot and spends hours trying to chase the shadows like she’s doing something useful, Click and Collect get lots of praise from the hoomans who say they are ‘picking things up quickly’… Gin and Tonic are so greedy and feed first and longer than the rest of us and then they sleep and sleep and we really have to pester them to wake up to play. Netflix keeps us all entertained. He is really funny and finds all sorts of adventures for us. And that leaves Hope, who we all sense is a bit special. When Hope stops, we all stop, when she tells us to be careful, we listen, and when we are a bit scared she reassures us that everything will be all right – nothing ventured, nothing gained, Hope says.

Hope led the way today when we went out into the light for the first time. She told us that all the new smells and sounds and sights wouldn’t hurt us and that this new experience was just the beginning of wonderful new things to look forward to. And as we felt the sunshine on our fur, rolled around in the grass together, pounced on beetles and fell over trying to catch dragonflies, we kinda knew she was right.
