Prompt
Because of my horrible allergies, I have a poor sense of smell, but I can
smell poop and popcorn, and I can’t tell the difference.
Botner
I thought there was popcorn in the seat of the grocery cart, but then I
didn’t smell it. The smell was different, like rotten popcorn, but not
quite. The smell disappeared about the same time as the smell of poop. He
was leaning forward into the cart so he could see the screen and as soon as
he heard me, he tried to hold his finger over his nose. I guess the dogs
would be more sensitive to dog farts if they were in the cart with you. I’ve
heard that border collies can smell out drugs but I wonder about different
breeds. Does it depend on the breed? I was a black lab, lab retriever mix,
but probably mixed with some other breed since we got her before we started
breeding labs. My parents only got me when they already had three dogs, and
I was somewhat self-sufficient. I had a job, but mostly I just kept to
myself and did my own thing. I used to follow my parents around and go to
their bed when they were asleep. I still do that sometimes, but they let me
now. I went with them when they went to visit my granny and the park she
lives near. I wanted to go home with them but they wouldn’t let me, so I
waited for them at the house. I got my mom’s last bite of chicken. I...

...don’t normally get to eat human food, but they each sneak me some when
the other isn’t looking. They don’t know that the other one does this, and
think it’s just our little secret. That’s fine with me, I get more chicken
this way. My friends around the neighborhood often ask me how my owners are,
and what it’s like to be me. In fact, they ask me this question every single
time that they see me, because they don’t have much in the way of memory. I
don’t know why I’m different than the other dogs; why I’m so much smarter,
but it is both a blessing, and a curse. My humans regularly walk around
without any clothes on, which makes me uncomfortable. I don’t know why, I’m
not wearing clothes either, but I guess my fur makes me feel less
self-conscious about it if, at least it would if I were them. I sometimes
catch myself dreaming of leaving the house, and going off on my own. I would
be able to survive just about anything. It’s only my fingerless paws that
would make things problematic. Though, I suppose I could teach the humans I
meet to understand me, and help me out when I need it. Why would I do that,
though? I love my humans. They give me food and water, a nice place to sleep
(even if it’s my bed or cage, instead of theirs), and I don’t get as
distracted by the crazy smells all over the yard as my friends do. No, I
don’t think I would give up my life for anything, even if I do have a little
more potential than the average pup.
