A Very Pet Shop Story

the way to the pet shop isn't always dull as it might seem

-A Very Pet Shop Story-

 

Today, I had to to take the dog to the pet shop so he could get a more pleasant scent.

I say ‘the dog’ because I don’t want to be presumptuous and say he is mine, I don’t want to  take possession of the guys soul or anything like that.He is more on the free spirit side, anyway, I wouldn’t actually say he belongs to anyone "except to mom it is true, when mom is around he is certainly taken, there is no use denying that, which shouldn’t surprise us at all, most of us want to be taken like that, at least from time to time we feel so, but well maybe that is what one expects of a good,half decent dog, you know.

 

Back to the story, as I was getting myself set to take him for a real good shower I wondered if there would be anyone in this world able to wash this smell away from him, anyway let them give it a shot. 

His aroma, It couldn’t get any worse I tell you that but well I gotta say his scent doesn’t bother me, after all that is what wilderness is supposed to smell like I think but since everyone at home doesn’t share the same opinion as me, it ain’t as easy to find people to see eye to eye on this matter,they all comment on his wild aroma.

Anyway, I willingly decided to take him to the pet shop, when I say "willingly- I mean there was no one else left to take him to do the pet shop so It was left for me to do so for the good of all- for everybody’s sake, and I say for the good of all even thou I know he hates to have to take a shower. His will doesn’t count at all.

 

Then we walked, it wasn’t a long walk, not long at all, five minutes at top. As we walked my mind was already set to new things, I wondered if it would be considered cheating if I politely asked the girl to let him cut the line, you know just this once, and would it be considered cheating? It would be considered bribing if I gave her some extra bucks to do so? I mean not that it would hurt anyone, but well you may think it is cheating, yes, but what if it was out of necessity, would it justify it? As I stood there a strange voice from Teen Titans came to my head:

 

‘’There is good and there is evil, but the line between them can be almost impossible to find. Does one good deed make him a hero? Am I to blame for all of it because of a single mistake? In the end, all I really know is that the answers don't come easy. It's supposed to be simple. But it's not.’’

 

Man, moral issues can be tricky fuckers at times.

 

 

As I got to the pet shop and I was standing there by the attendant counter, lost in my thoughts, the attendant took some time to notice me but when she finally did, she pointed out:

-I see you have finally taking him for a shower, isn’t it?

I softly politely replied:

-Yes, it was about time, so everyone says.

She politely smiled, but didn’t feel like going any further than this on the matter. But I could see she didn’t approve of his smell either. She didn’t comment, just asked:

-His name is pookie, isn’t it?

I somewhat reluctantly replied:

-well, well…hm... actually, no, he used to be pookie, yes, but for a week now we’ve both come to terms to set it as Nelson, the last week he used to have a different name and the week before that as well, but well you see, it is just a thing between us, me and him so we don’t want to get caught in the same old routine in anyway. We are heading off to new adventures you know.

 

I am not so sure she really understood; she looked someone dazzled- I wonder why.

 

But after all that talking-the time to say good bye had come- I really had to say good bye to the poor creature that I have practically dragged all the way to the pet shop, even thou I knew it would be for only a brief time apart, I had to say something, don’t you think? You can´t just leave someone like that and don’t say anything. That is plain rude to say least.

But as we were ‘standing’ there hugging each other It is true that the current Nelson, previous Pookie just wouldn’t let me go so I had to give him a gentle push and leave him there.

He was more like begging for his life if you wanna know the truth, but man! Come on, I mean how bad a shower can be when you are surrounded by women like that!

i cant really follow along. but here are some tips.
instead of using - , use "___" so we know someone is talking.
make sure you capitalize when necessary
stay on track. its okay to stray from the topic to talk about a flashback or background on someone/thing but come back to the story and know where youre going with it.
