The Stuff that happened Next


I want to thank you again for reading My Story, nice Person. I am always surprised at how much People seem to admire our Pack. We are a handsome Pack, and the Pack is getting bigger and bigger, and someday maybe you can be in our Pack too. But for now I will just tell you about the Stuff that happened Next.

After the day the beach we stayed at the Lost Angeles den for several days, and they were Good days with more trips to the beach and lots of Walks and Naps and all the Important things. I was with Smells-nice Lady Kate most of the time because my Alpha Male Orlando had to do Meetings and Playing for some People, but he would come home at night to the Den and there was eating and talking and resting. One morning we all went to a place called ‘Doggie Park’ and this is the Greatest Place Outside because you get to get off the lead and Run! all you want and there’s lots of other Dogs there and it’s no one’s personal territory so there’s no fighting over who owns it! You can make shit and no one comes along and Yells at you for it and the smells are as different and rich and interesting as a Food place – but without the Food, of course.

Essa and I Ran! until we were tired and that night my Pack fell asleep watching the moving pictures box and we were tangled up like a box full of puppies and I would have slept there with my People all night except that Essa made big fart and woke everyone up and then All Dogs had to go Outside even though it wasn’t My butt that made the fart!

I slept in the wet grass then and the air was hot and Essa licked my face for a long time before I let her lie down with me. In the morning Kate went away in a Car before my Alpha also did so we got left behind and had to find out things to do in the yard. I was digging a really big hole looking for Things! when I heard a Car come and it was a Car I didn’t know. Someone made the bell door sound inside the Den and I Barked! a very serious Warning! that this is My House! and even Essa was Barking too. There was a sound of feet on the walk and then a familiar face looked over the fence at us.

“Oi! You’ll wake the neighbors!” It was Quick-fingers-Hobbit Dominic, and I knew who he was so I stopped Bark-warning him and made Bark-Greeting! him instead! He opened the fence (who knew it opened there? Not me!) and came inside and I made Happy Dog! to see this member of our Beach Pack! Dominic laughed at all the licking and clapped his hands to get Essa to stop Jumping Up, which is against the Rules, but I was being a Good Dog and there’s nothing in the Rules about slobber. Another person came to the fence place and it was Elijah-Hobbit and he had a noisy-box and he came inside and told Dominic that “Orli says he’ll be a few minutes late.” I was Happy to see Elijah-Hobbit too, and he had a Treat! called “the rest of my bagel,” and he Shares.

Essa and I got to play with the Hobbits for a while and they admired the hole I had made and found a stick to throw away. I still do Not Understand this fascination that People have with sticks. They should just throw them all away forever and that would be the end of this running back and forth.

But then my Alpha came Home and he was very glad to see his Hobbit Friends! Orlando smelled like hot-black drink and smoke and Car smells and he had been wearing clothes that weren’t his and his shoe had got into something nasty on the pavement. He had all sorts of stinky junk in his hair and someone had face-touched him with the People paint. I guessed he had been playing again. He went and got wet and changed his clothes to something that smelled like him again and then he and the Hobbits made a move toward the door. I was already there and I had my lead in my mouth and Orlando laughed when he saw me, but he said “Not this time, Sidi.” That nearly broke my heart!

You have to be careful with a Dog’s heart, you know. We look tough, and we can Bite to Defend, but we can be Disappointed too. I was very Sad when the door closed with us inside and the People outside and I ran around the house for a while looking out of the windows. But I couldn’t see anybody I knew. I whined and howled maybe a little, but it didn’t help, and then I got bored and lay down where I could hear if any more Cars came.

Essa got into my Toy Basket! at some point and totally wrecked the Great Toy that Treats-in-pocket Man had given me! She chewed on it too hard and the squeaker part came out and I was So Mad when I caught her I made Dominance over her and growled and I think I was Mad about a lot of stuff! Essa snapped at me and then there was a Big *Dog Fight!* and we were going at it right there in the Den when Smells-nice Lady came in and She Was Mad to find us fighting!

She Yelled “Bad Dog!” (which I am not, hardly ever!) and kicked me out of the house into the Yard and made Essa stay inside and she said she would “Put the hose on me!” if I didn’t settle down! I don’t think I would like having the hose put on me! I laid down with my head in my hole and huffed and I was Finished! with Bitches for the Day! It wasn’t like I was going to actually Hurt Fart-smell Dog. She just had to remember that I am the Second Dog because apparently she doesn’t remember so good sometimes.

My bowl of Crunchy Good Things got put down outside that night. Essa was finally put out too and she came over to make submissive and I forgave her. But I was still Mad about the Treats Toy, because it smelled like him and his pocket and it was my Favorite.

Someone People came to the house and got inside without me being able to check them out and Kate was having a Good Time with her friends in there while we had to sit in the Yard and listen to the neighborhood Dogs and wait.

I didn’t like Lost Angeles any more.

My Alpha Male came home late in the night and I didn’t even hear it because I was sleeping and Essa didn’t wake me up. But when he opened the door from the house I Ran right over and he came outside and he sat down on the grass to be with me and he let me lick his face and even climb into his lap. I could tell that he had been lots of places with a lot of People. He smelled like Elijah’s weed-smell and a lot of sweat, some of which was his, and a lot of smelly drinks and beer and there was somebody’s piss on his shoe that I didn’t know. I do not think I would Approve of some of the places he gets into without Me.

He was a bit clumsy and loud, which means that he had been having Fun.

The next morning there was some Yelling inside the house and I think that Kate was telling my Alpha about the Fight I had with Essa and she was saying “Your Dog!” and “My Dog!” and I really wanted to be able to explain what had happened and that it wasn’t a Big Deal. One of the People who had come over the night before had made a Big Mess in the kitchen and Orlando couldn’t find something he wanted and he said his “missing shit will end up on ‘E-bay” and this must be a Bad Thing. I was trying to stay out of the way under the table just in case there was going to be some more ‘Bad Dog!’ talk going on. I saw when Alpha found my Treats Toy in the Trash and I had to come out then because he was looking at it and I didn’t want him to put it back again so it would Go Away forever!

I looked up at him and whined and he made his mouth smile and then he washed off the Toy, which took some of the smell of Treats-in-pocket Sean away, and then he held it down for me and I took it from his hand and Ran off so I could Hide it somewhere safe. I guess that maybe this happening made him think about something else because then he started to do the Packing thing, which I’ve told you all about before. Kate came and helped him Pack the Bags, but she was hackles up! and stiff in her body and I can tell you that she didn’t even smell very nice, because I think she was Mad at both of us.

The Packing Thing made me very nervous, but then I saw the bag that holds My Stuff, and my Toys and some Crunchy Good Stuff were inside and then my bowl went in and this means I was getting kicked out along with my Alpha Male! I ran again and got the Treats Toy out of my hole and brought it and Orlando smiled with his whole face and put it in the Bag and made it go “zzzzzzzt!” and closed it! I had my lead at the door and This Time Orlando clipped it to my collar and I was so Happy to Go that I almost forgot to say goodbye to the Bitches.

Kate picked up Essa like she was still a pup, even though she is all legs and almost bigger than me now, and the People touched mouths and said ‘Sorry!’ over any fighting and then it was off to my Alpha’s Car with the Bags and we Left! More driving in Lost Angeles and I thought maybe we were going to Drive a Long Ways, but instead we turned toward the sun and after a while I caught the Ocean Smell over the Stink of the City.

We arrived at a place where there were lots of People walking around and my Alpha had put on his head cover and his eyes-cover and he hunched in the seat like he is a submissive Male, and when he got out of the Car he picked up just his small bag and Mine and I came with him tail down because I think we were trying to not be noticed. We walked past people and places with Food in them and I was trying hard not to get excited over a New Adventure, but then there was a walkway that lead up to a house with lots of bushes and plants and things and my Alpha went past this house and to the back, and then he looked around and hit his hand on the door that was there.

I was sniffing around by then so I was not surprised at all when Chemical-smell Man Viggo opened the door. But of course I made Happy Dog! to see my Very Good Friend again and we got to go inside his Den! Alpha Male put down the Bags and Viggo took him against his chest and they whispered words and stroked hair and then touched mouths and I was wagging my tail because this guy calls me ‘Sport’ and knows some of my secrets too. They were Completely Ignoring me, so I went to explore.

Viggo’s Den is like the Best Place Ever because Everything is in it. Everything you ever saw in the Trash or the street or in another house or maybe thought would be Nice to have is in his house. There are rooms filled with furniture and People smells and there are places with just lots of flat things that stink of Chemical-Man chemicals. There is a place that’s got bits of the Outside world in it and there was some leather stuff that smelled Completely like Horses! (but without the shit) and there were things that had been traveling with Viggo to other places and had come back again. I think he is the kind of Person who goes a Lot, but can always be counted on to Come Back. There was one room with the door mostly shut, but when I pushed with my nose I got inside and this was where someone else slept and kept clothes and things and this person smelled a little bit like Viggo but a lot like Young Male Person who doesn’t wash a lot.

I checked around, but that Young Male hadn’t been there in the last couple of days, and that was sad because I would have liked to meet him too. He had some old pizza under his bed that wasn’t too bad to eat and his stuff smelled interesting. I realized that I hadn’t been outside to Mark this house properly, so I went back to the door and whined. My Alpha male came eventually, looking like he had been busy doing other things, and he let me out, but kept the door open and told me to Stop! when I started to go too far. I got Viggo’s house Marked a bit, probably enough to let Outsider Dogs know who’s Pack this is, and then I had to come back inside, but that was okay because like I told you this place had Everything in it!

Food! came to the door, which is it Best Trick that people do if they aren’t going to make Food themselves. We sat in the room with all the furniture and they ate the Food and I got only little bits. My Alpha was talking to his noisy-box and he said that he would ‘Go tomorrow’ because his ‘plans had changed.’ I think I know what had changed, and that was where the two of us were at, not something called plans. The eating ended and there was some drinking out of stinky bottles and I went off to check under other beds for more pizza because I never really get so much to eat that there isn’t room for more. I found the skin of a dead animal and a boot with horseshit on it and some really big rocks and lots of papers, but nothing Good to Eat.

I heard my Alpha making sounds like maybe he was fighting and went Running! to find him, but it was the Dominance Thing that those two have between them going again. I found a nice spot on the Okay-to-Get-on Couch and watched my Alpha and Viggo as they touched and rubbed and licked each other. It was a curious thing to watch. But I got bored after a while and fell asleep and they both went off to other places in the Den.

When I woke up I went to check on them and my Alpha was asleep on the floor in the room with all the flat things and Chemical-smell Man was sitting there making marks on paper as he looked at my Alpha. The smell in that room made my nose wrinkle, and it wasn’t just the stuff on the papers and flat things. Viggo moved his hand to call me over, and told me softly to ‘Sit!’, which I did because he taught me that Trick!

“Look at him, Sport,” Viggo said to me, using small words so I would understand. But although I remembered it because he spoke like it was important, I didn’t know all the words. “He’s a fallen angel. A fallen angel who’s restored my faith while crushing my heart.”

This was one of those times when I Really, Really wish I could totally understand People.

GAAAHHH!!! I LOVE THIS FIC!!! OMG! Now Orli HAS to stay with Viggo! He HAS to! I love the whole "dominance" idea. Didn't work so well with my dog. The second my bf went over me Landon snarled and attacked him. Now the dog has Get Out! lol! Anyway, I adore this. Post more soon?

I love the imagination and humor you put into this fic. Clearly you have worked hard to give us a believeable dog voice while also telling an interesting story from a dog POV.
