Let There Be Light (Rascal's First Morning)
I throw myself out of bed. For the first time since a long time. I need to tell my parents about this new member of the family before they get bitten. They look at the dog and smile. Adorability 200%. Simply irresistable. Check the floor. Toilet-trained. I teach him to respond to clicks. Not gifted. I mean I am not gifted as a dog trainer. As I leave the house I worry that something may happen to the dog. I can see it dying of hunger and thirst. I can see it climbing out of the window. I can see strangers taking it away. I can see my sister-in-law's students torturing it. I can see it crying in loneliness. I call my maid and give her instructions as a precaution.
