Last week in “Days of Our Nine Lives,” ARF cats talked about Taz, the newest ARF dog.
Little Girl: So, we have another new dog.
Sadie: Taz? You told us about the little guy last week.
Little Girl: Right, but there is another. Oh! Here he is!
Al: Hi! I’m the new guy. You can call me Al.
Little Girl: Welcome, Al. What’s your story?
Al: I’ve been running the roads of this little town and sadly, no one has come looking for me, so ARF has given me a temporary home.
Indigo: I’m sorry to hear about your situation. You’re lucky to be with a foster.
Al: True, but he can keep me for only a week, so I’d better get adopted fast!
Little Girl: What kind of dog are you?
Al: Good question. I think I’m maybe part chocolate Labrador and something else that gives me this fuzzy face. I’m told I’m cute. I’m about 3 years old, have lots of energy and love people. Dogs are good, too.
Little Girl: You need to find a forever human who will take you on hikes.
Pepper: Unlike Taz. I think he prefers someone’s lap.
Taz: (enters room) You talking about me?
Mr. Gray: We were! Do you want to go on hikes?
Taz: Not so much. I’m 10 years old, for goodness sake. Just give me a loving home, with or without dogs and cats, and I’ll be very happy.
Little Girl: By the way, we also have a new feline family member, Sedona.
Indigo: I saw her! She is a beautiful tortoise shell, but she’s kinda chunky, ya know?
Little Girl: That’s because she is pregnant! She should have her babies any day now. I’m so excited.
Indigo: Yay! Kittens bring in lots of humans.
Little Girl: You know it!
