More of Uncle Jerry's life and times.

 We walked along for a short distance then went up some stairs and into a house.  This was where the lady lived and evidently where I was going to live also.  We stayed there for several days; I must admit those first few nights were no picnic, during the day when I could explore and visit and learn to drink from a saucer it was fine, but at night I was all alone, no nice soft bodies to curl up with, nothing to suck on, I’m not sure now but I may have cried – but just a little.  The first night, I hadn’t settled down yet, the lady brought a roundish object wrapped up in a towel and put it in my new bed.  It made a ticking noise and for some reason it helped me go to sleep.  I woke up several times through the night and each time snuggled close to the object and each time I quickly dropped off again.

  One day the lady scooped me up and holding me to her face said, “Well young man, today we are off for a little trip and you will soon meet your new master.”

  Well I didn’t know what a master was, didn’t even know what a trip was so I just licked her nose like that first day and copying her face pulled off a pretty passable smile.

  “You little devil, I almost think you understood me!” She exclaimed.

  Well of course I understood her, but try as hard as I could, I couldn’t properly respond, so I just wagged what was left of my tail and licked her once more.

  A little while later she put a suitcase by the front door and stuffed me into a wooden box like thing, it was better than the cardboard box she had used a few days before as I could easily see between the slats of wood. A few of the cookie things I had started to enjoy were dropped in beside me and shortly I was being loaded into a car.  This was a much better ride than that first one on the streetcar and in spite of being curious I soon dozed off.

 little later the car stopped and me and my box and the suitcase were lifted out and packed into a large building.  There were humans bustling about everywhere.
