(Swampson had heard the earlier alert, humans talking back and forth on their odd little boxes in urgent tones. Must’a been more ornery strays, figured the old dog. He eventually dozed off again.
Now, they were arriving. Swampson could tell by the rumbling of trucks outside the door of the office. He looked up groggily, blinking slowly at the door before climbing to his feet. My, was his arthritis acting up! He groaned and stretched, then shook off, stiffly walking toward the door. It was time for him to see the new arrivals and give them a stern talking to.
The door had a lever-like knob with a bandana tied to it, convenient for an old dog to open it if he wanted to head out without bothering the humans. In one swift movement, he reached up and pulled the bandana, releasing the door. Still feeling stiff, and not appreciating the seasonally cold air, he slipped through the door and winced at the brightness of the daylight outside. He was just in time to watch the last dog get led into the kennel building.
He approached the kennel building and entered through the door that had been left ajar, thinking better of it and dragging the door closed behind him. He passed the rows of dogs without sparing them a glance until he reached the man with the clipboard. There, he turned and sat, eying the new dogs contemptuously, a grumpy frown on his maw as he did.
At first, he was silent. But these dogs were determined to carry on and disrupt the work being done around them. Enough was enough. "Aw, just stow it and settle in, the lot of ya!" he barked, giving them all harsh looks.
Kira lunged for the stick, grabbing it in her mouth, and pulling hard."Shut up!" the man said, poking her with a stick through the chain link fence.
Mutt observed painfully. He remembered similar when he was a bait dog.
The man pulled back for a second, then suddenly let go, hoping Kira would fall head over heels.Kira lunged for the stick, grabbing it in her mouth, and pulling hard.
Kira stumbled backward, but caught herself. She lunged at the man, slamming into the cage, and snapped at him through the bars.The man pulled back for a second, then suddenly let go, hoping Kira would fall head over heels.
"I think this one can go to Doggy Heaven today." the man said, laughing. Then, in a more sinister voice, he added, "Or, maybe, Doggy Hell!"Kira stumbled backward, but caught herself. She lunged at the man, slamming into the cage, and snapping at him through the bars.
The man looked at her. "Shut up!" he yelled, kicking the kennel, creating a loud clatter.Okami barked and growled.
