poking and prodding


The lady comes again. She brings an animal doctor with an awful smell and a dangerous-looking bag.


He spends an hour with Ruby, poking and prodding. He looks at her eyes, her feet, her trunk.


When he’s done with Ruby, he enters my cage. I wish I could hide under Not-Tag like Bob.

“We’re going to need to put this one under,” he says.


I’m not quite sure what he means. But I strut around my cage feeling victorious anyway.
