Puppy Love
Fondest greetings, sisters (and brothers) in slash! I bid you good day wherever you might be, and hope you are in good health and happy. Chapter 3 of Beyond Design Limitations is getting the stamp of approval from my most excellent Beta, so in the meantime I’ve been able to Sidi down and record a bit more of his Dog’s Life. Seeing as how Sidi’s not exactly concerned with the niceties of English writing he’s never been bothered that his stories don’t get a proper editing, bless him! He’s a Good Boy!
May I offer you The Luckiest Dog in the World, chapter 17:

Summary: Sidi is Orlando’s dog, and he’s got a
story to tell
In the Dog House!
Hello again Nice Person who reads my Stories! This is Sidi Dog telling you more about my Great Pack and about my life. My story now is about what happened in Lost Angeles after my Alpha Orlando and Essa and Me got back from Idaho Place, and that’s what I’m telling you about now, okay?
My Alpha Bitch Kate came to the Airport Place to take us all home, but before we got back to the Den she was already angry at my Alpha Male, and there were Mad Words. I think most of those Mad Words were from the Clumsy Bastard thing where Orlando had got hurt and made blood. I think maybe Kate was Sad because she couldn’t help either, just like I had felt when I couldn’t get past the wood boards to reach my Alpha and help him.
We got to the Den and the People wanted to Talk about things, but I had Important Stuff to do Outside, so I went into the Yard and then did a full patrol. Those guys who play loud music and come in the old truck had been there again, and they had been touching the trees and grass and moving things around! I don’t know why my Alphas let them do that Stuff! They’re nice enough guys, but they don’t seem to like anything where it is!
All of my old piles of shit were gone, and the grass was cut down, and there were some new flowers in the dirt. I dug up the new flowers to make sure there wasn’t anything important buried there, and then I checked the place where I had a Squeaky Toy buried, but nobody had found it so That was Safe! Good thing they didn’t find my Toy!
Essa was chewing on the rubber snake thing, which had been rolled up like a rolled-up snake, and she was growling and pretending that it was a Dangerous animal— like the Not-Dogs we had heard singing in the Idaho Place. I think maybe Essa was mad just because her Bitch was mad too. We could hear the People in the house still talking about things very Loud. Dogs always get told to be Quiet! when they get loud, but I guess maybe it’s different for People.
I made sure there was no places in the Yard where Dogs could get out or any Outsider Dogs get in, and I checked for Cats! and other Bad Things. It was all okay. My stomach said it was Time for Crunchy Good Things!, so Essa and I went Inside and I checked my bowl, which was right where it’s supposed to be. The Sidi bowl was Empty! so I went to look for my Alpha. That’s his Job, the bowl filling!
My Alpha was on the Bed with most of his cloth bits off and Kate was fixing the paper over his Hurt Place. She told me to Go Away! while she finished fixing his stuff, so I stayed in the hall just to be there when Dinner Time got noticed. Kate was very Sad by then, and I don’t like it when my People are Sad! Orlando Alpha petted her hair and said ‘Sorry!’ and then they nuzzled for some time. My stomach growled...it wasn’t me growling! Essa knocked over the Bag in the Hall that had our Dog stuff in it, trying to get inside where there was some Treats!
“High maintenance Dogs,” said my Alpha, and he laughed as he got up from the bed and put on his cloth bits again. I’m pretty sure he didn’t really mean Me when he said that thing. “Dinner?” he said, looking down at me. I did the whole Crazy Dog! thing all over the house until the bowl got filled with Crunchy Good Things, and then I was Happy!
After the People had eaten their People Food we were all sitting on and around the Get Off! couch, and Dogs were getting petted, which is always my second favorite time of the day. My Alphas were talking and then the noisy box went off inside his pocket and Orlando spoke into it with his ‘I Like You!’ voice and he said ‘Hobbit!’, which is a Good Thing!, and ‘Party!’ which is also a Good Thing!
I knew that there was going to be some Fun in Lost Angeles after all!
The next day went kinda slow because my Alpha left early to do Movie Playing, and I didn’t have anything Important to do besides Keeping Watch, which I always do anyhow. Essa got a Bath! But I didn’t have to even though I was really the Stinky Dog! My Alpha Bitch said there was no reason to get me clean because of the company I would be keeping. I didn’t remember burying any company, so maybe she was confused.
Poor Essa! First a Bath!, and then she didn’t get to go into the Car when our Alpha got home! I jumped in there Right Away and stood with my paws on the window part while Orlando asked Kate one last time to Come With, but she said she didn’t want to wreck his fun and ‘Be Careful!’ of getting hurt! We weren’t going to go out and get hurt! We were going to Hobbit Party! My Alpha got in to Drive the Car (I wish I could do that part too!) and he had a box with holes poked in it that smelled like maybe some animals had been around it and there was a grass smell, but I got told to “leave it alone!” so I did that.
We drove for a Long Time in the Stinky air of Lost Angeles, and Orlando was singing songs with the music and I got to Bark! at Dogs walking outside and riding in other Cars. There was a Lady Person in a Car that was all open on top and she had a Little Rat Dog that looked all stuck-up and Not Nice, so I Barked! really Loud! and my Alpha Barked! too and the Rat Dog got all scared and the Lady gave up both a Mad Face! That was Funny! I could have eaten that Little Rat Dog and still needed Dinner, but of course I don’t really do Bad Dog! stuff like that. I remembered my little Dog friend Nemo and how he didn’t know how little he was.
It was still Funny!
We finally got to a Place that had a lot of Cars around and I had to stay on the Leash to lead my Alpha to the door, and can you guess who’s Den this was? It was Hobbit Sean with the Nice Pack and he petted me right on the head and let us come inside! And all sorts of Pack members were there! My lead got took off and I could Run Around and See everyone! Livvie Lou was there with her Male and a Little Tiny Baby Puppy. My Alpha got all strange around it and talked funny to it. He wanted to hold the Puppy and smiled so big, but I didn’t get jealous.
Stink-of-burning-weeds Elijah was there with another Way Too Big To Be a Hobbit Guy named Sala and a Male who was called Craig. Craig had a great smell on his leg that got me a little too excited and I sort of forgot my Manners for a moment and there was almost a Bad Dog! incident with making Dominance, but I remembered just in time that humping is Not Allowed Ever on People, and I behaved myself. Dominic-quick-fingers was looking at me with kind of Mad body language, and I tried to remember if I had forgot my Manners the last time I had seen him. I was putting my tail down and going over to say ‘Sorry!’ to him for whatever it was I had done when my Alpha came along and gave the box he’d been carrying in the Car to Dominic.
Inside the box was a weird thing that made Dominic smile when he looked. “Sidi would like to apologize,” Orlando said, and of course I was very Sorry! about whatever it was I had ever done Wrong, ever!, so I had my ears and tail down, but I kept my eye on the box to see what it was. Dominic reached inside and there was another one of those bugs that tastes like peanuts! Who knew that Dominic eats those too? Not me! I put my ears up, thinking that maybe Dominic would like to Share! his Treat with a Good Dog Friend, but my Alpha hissed “don’t you even think about it, Sidi!” and Dominic laughed and put the bug back in the box and then it went out of reach on top of the cold-inside machine.
Oh well. I guess he was going to eat it later.
There were other People there that I didn’t know, or some that maybe I’d smelled on my Alpha at times. Mike, the fixes-things Guy was there, and he wanted to play the Throw the perfectly good Plate Away game with me, and I did that to make him Happy. I’ll never understand why People like that game. It’s not like it changes or gets very exciting. I got away from playing that as soon as I could and went to find Other Stuff to do.
Sean Hobbit has Puppies, which I think I told you about, and they were in the corner of a big room with a few People in it. I was Happy to see the Puppies...I like Puppies! They were making marks on paper with smelly sticks and talking a lot. I sat down with them and watched them for a while, wondering if they were making pictures like Viggo Alpha does. I didn’t see anything that looked like my Alpha on the paper. One of the Girl Puppies would mark with her smelly stick and then hand it to me to eat, so I ate it even though they didn’t taste that good. I ate a lot of those sticks, spitting out the paper bits if it got stuck on my tongue. After a while I thought that maybe there was better stuff to be eating, so I went away again after licking the Puppies’ faces.
Outside there was a fire box with wonderful smells coming from it, and People standing around, so I sat down there and wondered if anyone wanted to see a Trick done! It was hot in the sunshine, and I was panting, and Elijah bent down to pet me, and he said “Sidi, you’ve got Technicolor teeth!” I don’t think I did have those things, whatever they are, but it made Elijah laugh very hard and then he let me drink the rest of his beer out of the bottle. Elijah was still laughing when I wandered away to see if there was anything to eat yet on the Inside of the Den.
There were some Snacks! on a little table, but I got “Bad Dog!-ed” from someone before I could get to the bowl, and that was insulting so I walked away from the People Food. I am Not a Bad Dog. I showed Sala my Fall Down Dead Trick, but he just bent way, way down to me and scratched my tummy, which was also Nice, but not a Treat. He’s a good Dog-scratcher, though, and he smelled of a wonderful cool wood and wet leaves scent, and my leg was thumping all on its own before he was done.
After that I had to go Outside suddenly, and I was looking for a place to be Alone for a moment, but my Alpha saw me and followed, asking me what was wrong? Then I barfed a Big Pile, and my Alpha was worried until he came down to hold me and saw the mess I had made. “Crayons, Sidi?” he said, sounding like he just could not Believe the things his Dog does! I think maybe there are some times when I can’t Believe what he does either, but I didn’t think that for long because he’s my Alpha Male.
I made Sorry! with my body, and he hugged me and said it was ‘okay!’, and then he cleaned up the mess. I stuck around until he was done and he smiled at me at last and said “go on!”, so I went to look for Viggo in case he was there.
No Viggo, just more People from the Big Pack of Friends, and they were all Nice to me, every single one! Sean’s Bitch Lady let me lick juice off a plate that had meat on it and showed me where a bowl of Nice Clean Water had been put on the ground just for Dogs to drink. I found a shoe that smelled like Dominic and Ran around like a Crazy Dog! with it until someone chased me!
After that there was Food finally being Eaten, and I was Very Busy picking up dropped stuff and getting Treats! from lots of People who I Like! I was Very Happy that Essa didn’t get to come to this Hobbit Party because she would have just tried to get all the attention and she would probably fart and get the Dogs sent Outside to Stay. It got dark in the sky and some People left the Den, saying ‘Goodbye!’ and making kisses and face rubbing each other.
My Alpha had sat down Outside with Elijah and Craig and Dominic, and I went to Lay Down at his feet and he rubbed me with his toes. They were talking softly for a long time, and I could recognize some of the names. Sean, the Alpha of this Den, came over and he had something in his hand that made me sit up quick because it smelled of my Orlando’s blood! “What is this you brought?” Sean asked, and my Alpha took it. I had to whine because I didn’t like that smell, even though it was old.
Then my Alpha told the Clumsy Bastard story about what happened in the Horse building in Idaho Place. He stood up and pulled his cloth bit down to show them his leg where the paper cover was and then the wooden bit with his blood on it. I was worried, but when I looked around to be sure we were all Safe I could smell that Elijah was excited by the Scary Story and Dominic-quick-fingers was white in the face and his body was Really Tense! Elijah wanted to look under the paper where there were threads in my Alpha’s skin, and Dominic had to look away. Then Craig noticed Dominic’s Worried Face and there was a lot of laughing and Teasing and I felt Sorry for Dominic!
They should not Tease him for being Worried about the wooden thing poking into my Alpha! I got up and went to sit with my Good Friend Dominic, and if I’d had a Treat! with me I would have Shared it with him! Dominic wrapped his arms around my neck and whispered things to me and rubbed my tender ears very carefully.
After that there was Teasing made at my Alpha, but he just laughed. His face got hot once at something Elijah said about Viggo, but I didn’t understand what it was. Then the Teasing got started about Viggo stuff, and I was Sorry that he was still in Idaho Place instead of there to say “Hey, that’s wrong!” about the Teasing stuff. Dominic’s fingers were so soft and nice behind my ears, and I was really tired, so I fell asleep with my muzzle on his leg.
I was sleeping with the buzz of Happy People voices around me, and I could almost think that maybe I was a Person too, sitting Outside with my friends at Hobbit Party and talking about the stuff inside my head.
My Alpha woke me up some time later, and a lot of People were gone away. We finally had to leave to go back to our own Den, and I ran around one last time to See everyone and make sure there was no more Food needing cleaned up. We didn’t have to use the Lead to find the Car again, and there was a Long Ride to go Home. Orlando didn’t sing this time, and I didn’t see any Dogs to Bark! at. My Alpha talked softly to me for a while, like he did when we were driving to Idaho Place with Viggo and Essa sleeping. I lay down on the seat with my paws hanging over and stared at his face in the dark.
I was thinking that maybe this was one of the best days ever. But I was wrong, because the very next day someone special came to our Den at night...and it was Treats-in-Pocket Man Sean!
WoW!

In anycase, each chapter I read I am always amazed at how you get into the mind of a dog and make it sound all so very real. On top of that you bring to life the various players of the story and make them sound like the real deal too.
I just love this series!
