Stella, a.k.a. Needy Gonzales, Part II

Note from Elizabeth: Here's Part II of The Emotional Adventures of Stella the Crazy Dog, which have a much happier ending than was expected. Well, happier than Stella expected ... because she's a dog. 

Day ... I've Lost Count
By day and by night,
she watches at the window:
The Lady in Black—

keeping a sharp eye
for anything, anything,
to bark at. (Hint: SQUIRRELS)

Another Depressing Day
Despite the fact that
Mommy has deserted me ...
piggies make me smile.

The Day a Friend Came
The Lady brought a
friend to visit today. I
kinda liked her. Shrug.

THE LAST DAY
ZOMMMMMGGGGGGG
SHE CAME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!11 MY MOM CAME BACK!!!!!!!!!!
I KNEW SHE WOULD!!!!!!!!! GAAAAAAAAAH!

(Note from Elizabeth: Yes, Stella did tinkle a little out of excitement. We all saw that one coming.)

Epilogue
I'M GLAD MOM'S BACK ... but
I'll admit—in the end, the
Lady was all right.

Peace, love and ice cubes,
Stella
