The Hounding

"You're late," I moaned. "Where's my dinner?" 

"Sorry, Pumpkin. It was a long day at work," she said and pranced to her bedroom. 

"But I'm hungry!" I bumped my head against the bedroom door. 

"Calm down. I'll take a shower first," she announced. 

I groaned. 

She disappeared for an hour, then came out smelling strongly of soap and shampoo. 

"Feed me!" I demanded. 

She ignored me and grabbed her phone. 

"I said I'm hungry, woman!" I yapped, getting crabbier every minute. 

"Just a second, Pumpkin." 

My body itched with fury. I scooted towards her and did something really stupid for the first time. 

"Ow! You crazy, Pumpkin? You just bit me!"

 "Woof!" I exclaimed. 

Now I have to apologize!
