It was the perfect morning.
The kind of morning humans dream about.
Sun shining.
Birds singing.
Coffee behaving.
Hair cooperating.
Confidence at 100%.
Mom had The Meeting.
Not just any meeting.
A VERY IMPORTANT OFFICER ZOOM MEETING.
Promotion-level.
Career-changing.
“Don’t-you-dare-breathe-wrong” level.
She had prepared since yesterday.
Notes highlighted.
Outfit selected.
Background checked.
Camera angle tested 47 times.
She was READY.
So ready…
she even remembered me.
“Here, Zeus,” she said sweetly,
“New toy. Go play. Be good.”
A NEW TOY.
Squeaky.
Soft.
Perfect.
I was blessed. 🧸✨
Then…
She closed the door.
🙂
EXCUSE ME???
CLOSED.
THE.
DOOR.
Panic entered my soul.
Heart racing.
Thoughts spiraling.
Why is Mom gone?
Did she abandon me?
Is this my villain origin story???
I tried being calm.
Didn’t work.
I tried waiting.
Didn’t work.
So I activated…
MISSION: RESCUE MOM.
First: Paw scratching.
Gentle at first.
Scratch.
Scratch.
No response.
Upgraded to:
SCRATCH SCRATCH SCRATCH.
Still nothing.
So I went full action movie.
KNOCK.
BAM.
SLAM.
POW.
Door shaking.
House trembling.
Neighbors reconsidering life choices.
And then…
BOOM.
Door opened.
I flew in like a Marvel character.
Straight into the room.
Straight onto the bed.
Straight into history.
The laptop was open.
Zoom was ON.
Camera was LIVE.
And there I was.
Fur wild.
Eyes crazy.
Tongue out.
Looking like I just escaped prison.
On the screen?
Important officers.
Watching me.
In silence.
Like it was…
Discovery Channel:
“Wild Animal Invades Corporate Meeting.”
One man blinked twice.
One lady froze.
One officer slowly sipped water… in fear.
Mom?
Soul left body.
Career flashing before her eyes.
Meanwhile…
Me:
“Oh MOM YOU’RE HERE HI I MISSED YOU—”
I remembered my toy.
THE TOY.
My pride.
My joy.
My emotional support squeaker.
I grabbed it.
And squeezed.
HARD.
For the first time ever.
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!
The room echoed.
The Zoom echoed.
The officers echoed internally.
SQUEEK.
SQUEEK.
SQUEEK.
I was performing.
Concert mode.
World tour.
Live on Zoom.
Mom whispering:
“Zeus… please… stop…”
Me:
“SQUEEK = LOVE.”
I jumped.
I rolled.
I squeaked.
One officer muted himself.
Another one laughed and forgot he was important.
Someone typed in chat:
“Is that… a dog?”
YES.
IT IS ME.
THE STAR.
Finally, Mom picked me up.
Meeting paused.
Promotion postponed.
Dignity deleted.
But memories?
FOREVER.
Later she said:
“It was so embarrassing.”
I say:
It was legendary.
Not my fault.
You closed the door.
I saved you.
I performed.
You’re welcome.
