The Knight in Furry Armor
At three weeks old, I suckled at my mother's teat. I romped with my brothers and chased after my sisters, tail wagging joyously. At six weeks, I was taken from them and given to you. I missed them a bit at first, but I fell in love with you. I followed you around, chewing on things when you wouldn't give me the attention I wanted. When I was two years old, you had a baby. It took up a lot of your time, so I was sent outside to play by myself all day. Five years old and you left us with a babysitter. You were only to be gone a couple of hours, but someone thought the house was empty and took a chance. The babysitter was crying with your child while the strangers ransacked the house. I waited for an opportune moment and when they looked away, I went for the stranger's arm. I don't regret it. It was a good five years with you, even if that was all I had.
