There I was minding my own business when "she" and her friend came bursting into the house. "She" gave off this most annoying sound when she first saw me. It was then that I learned that "Justin" was the name for the Tall one with the warm tummy. Justin called this squeaky being "Ruthie". She was the same one he referred to as "mommy"

She squeezed and pulled my ears and made noises all over me. It was most alarming. She also started scrubbing floors and cleaning. I've already marked my place in this house, how dare she erase the scent I've spread around the place! So of course I tried to make up for what she messed up as soon as possible, but she grabbed me and flung me outside in the cold before I made my deposit on the living room floor. Why, I've never encountered anybody so cruel in my life!
Ooh my days of lying in bed with Justin were numbered. They suddenly came home one day with this huge and ugly contraption that's supposed to be my bed! They locked me in there all night long no matter how much I whined and cried. Justin! How could you let her do this to me!!!
One good thing happened since she's been here though. They gave me some really good slushy wet food. I was so upset with all the changes that I ate my feelings. My stomach got so big I could barely walk. Oh boy, was I gonna pay for eating too much. I started "going" accidentally in my bed. The world started getting all blurry and slow. I started feeling weak no matter what the evil Ruthie fed me. And when I thought things were getting better she brings me to this place where they stick needles into you!
I believed I was doomed to have a miserable life!! But I guess those needles worked, because I suddenly didn't feel so bad anymore.
As soon as I was feeling better, this Ruthie started taking me outside more. She kept pulling me along into the grass saying "Marley, go poop!" . I had no idea what she meant until she started giving me snacks after I made my deposit outside of home. Ah so that's what she meant all along! Why keep myself in that small space of an apartment when I can mark the whole outside world as mine!!! Mine, mine!!! Wahahaha. This Ruthie isn't that bad after all.
We started getting along more. I realized how much I have her wrapped around my cute little paws. All I needed to do was nose around her and she would pick me up and give me scratches and massages. If I was lucky I would get a good snack just for following her around the house!
Ah this is the life. So this is what a Mommy is like.
I however, have enemies in the household. I could never get any attention when the Tall ones were facing this flat white colorful screen. It had its cousins too. Two smaller flat colorful screens. I was surrounded. It was always guaranteed that if Justin or Ruthie sat in front of these things , I would be left alone bored for hours. I then carefully planned my attack.
They were fast asleep. They trusted me enough for some reason not to be locked inside my bed. Hehe foolish move on their part. I made my way around the apartment, thankful for my super power gift of night vision. There it is! I new as soon as that white line connected to it was severed, the flat screens won't have any life anymore. I managed to grab and munch on these lines all night long. I kept at it till the flat screens didn't have any more light or life emanating from them. Success! Or so I thought.
Oh was in for in it the next day. Justin smacked me several times. Ruthie smacked me several times. But I knew this would just be for a moment. True enough things calmed down within the day. I was bidding my time for when I get to the others. They haven't been careless to let me loose at night lately. They protected my enemies. I've been betrayed!!!
Someday, I will get them all.
