Espoleta Pt.1

I heard my Mommy on the phone...she sounded very frantic."Ray, they'll kill her babies, she has no where else to go! Shes starving! PLEASE!" Her pleas scared me, I don't know who 'she' was but we had to help her! "It's dropping to 14 degrees tonight, there is no shelter out there, what if she has them?" I heard muffle grunts come from the phone, my Daddy was not happy and was trying desperately to win this argument. "I will try to find her a place to stay, but just for now, here?...please?" There was a loud roar from the phone, I ran under the bed, it sounded like a monster was going to come out & attack us!"No you don't understand! She has no food, no shelter & she's due any day now!" a defining howl made the phone shake. My Mother was not amused. Again my mother justified her reasons, this time she was getting frustrated, there was a trail of grief in her voice. I let out a tiny whine, I hated to hear my Mommy so upset! "What do you want me to do?! Forget about her?!" There was a long pause I knew my Dad was weighing his options. "I'll go find her, thank you. I love you Panda Bear!" The joy in my Mommy's voice was quite contagious, I joined her & barked my pleasure, "Where are we going Mommy!?" Her weak human ears only heard "Arf! Arf!" Her eyes gazed at me lovingly as if she knew what I was saying. "Eduardo, you must stay here, in your bed. Go now, I'll be back soon." So I went and I waited....
