The Story of How I Became a Pet Owner

Image description
It was 6:11 in the morning. I couldn't sleep so I went out to the street, to start my day with a cigarette. It was quite cold and completely dark.

There are only 4 kinds of people on the street in my neighbourhood at this time. Homeless guys, dog owners, dustmen and smokers. And of course, there is dame Sophie. She is an old and nice lady living in the same building as me.

Madame Sofie is crawling on the street all day (and night) long. She helps wherever she can, collects dust and does many other things.

So on this dark and cold morning, I spotted dame Sophie. She was walking towards me. Whenever she got closer, I saw there is something in her hands. Then I suddenly realized she was holding a cute little pet in her hands.

Dame Sophie told me she found her on the street, but she had no idea what to do with her. Aaaand that was my moment. I felt sorry for this cuteness bomb, and I wanted to save her, so I told to dame Sophie I will take care of her. She was happy as I took the responsibility from her shoulders.

She was in quite bad shape, so I brought her into the house. I gave her some water, which she drank immediately. As she was covered with dust, I bathed her, she was quite thankful for that. Unfortunately, she was hardly able to stand, so I had to use a temporal crutch to stabilize her.

To my astonishment, I realized she was house-trained as she never slubbered the flat.

When the family got up in the morning, they were charmed. They never so such a cute pet before.

Well, I needed a name for her. After some thinking, I came up with the name Greeny.

I am sure we will be best friends and I will even bring her to my workplace.
