Too busy

in hive-161155 •  3 years ago 

I am busy and being busy means I have a hard time doing what needs to be done. You think the day ahead is a long one but it's not.
If you know me you know I hardly sleep. It's a dog's life I live. I have to be alert day and night. Sometimes I long back to these days I could be lazy. If I wasn't asleep I took a sunbath or chewed on a leaf while hanging around.

Now hanging around is no longer allowed. It's not because I came back as a dog. My boss shouts at me or kicks my bottom if I do not show up immediately if I hear him whistle and call my name.

I should only jump on my feet if he calls me. He doesn't like me if I greet him and show him how happy I am to see him. I like some company especially if I can't sleep.

"Stay" or "Go away" are the most common words he shouts at me. So I stay and wait and do my best till he likes me. In between I take short naps. A nap with my ears wide open so I can jump at my feet if intruders try to get in and I dream. I dream I was a sloth.
