Puppy Called Dez. John Tovey
of the puppy centre, angrily slinging a bright pink, sparkly handbag across one shoulder.
‘Come on then, you two,’ said Mum, looking down at Vicky and me. ‘You better hurry up, because your families will be waiting for you. Now, get yourselves off! I know you’ll both do me proud,’ she blubbed. Mum was trying her best to hold back her tears but I knew she was upset. She turned, walked away, and slumped down heavily in her bed. It broke my heart to see her there staring sadly into thin air – all of her children gone.
‘Bye, Mum, I love you!’ I called, as we headed for the door.
As we’d reached it, I turned towards Vicky for the last time.
‘Right, well, I suppose this is it, then?’ I said, wishing the sad feeling would go away.
‘Take care, my special bruv. Love you loads!’ cried Vicky, emotion choking her voice.
Thankfully, my puppy walkers arrived to collect me first, which meant I didn’t have to be the last one standing there, waving everyone off.
‘Hello, Dez,’ a lovely kind woman said, kneeling down to pat me on the top of my head. I recognised her immediately – it was Niki, my new puppy-walker mum.
‘She looks brilliant,’ Vicky whispered, giving me the thumbs-up behind Niki’s back.
‘She is!’ I grinned, before climbing into the back of Niki’s car. ‘See you all in a year!’ I yelled, as I waved madly from the back window.
Everyone waved back, apart from Violet, who stood there scowling.
The car fired into life and slowly wound its way along the tarmac drive, away from the puppy centre and towards my new home and new life. When we were finally out of view, I sat down on the back seat, undid the latch on my suitcase and took out my teddy and blankie.
Mum had been right, I was glad I had them both with me!
