My name is Pearl the dog and I live with Pearl the human. If she finds out what I did, Pearl the human will be fummin.
We live in an apartment above a grocery store. It has a lot of rooms for a canine to explore.
There’s a room way down the hall that has a cat inside. I know cause it’s called the cat room, where cats must like to hide.
Today, the door was open and I went to have a look. I sniffed in every corner and nosed in every nook.
I tried real hard to find a cat. I really was dog bent. I smelled high and low and everywhere, but didn’t find a scent.
I heard someone approaching so I hid behind the door. I felt like such a bad dog… like I’d never felt before.
Guess what happened next? I should have never wagged my tail. I bumped the door and it slammed shut. Now the cat room was my jail.
Would someone come and find me? If I barked would someone hear. The more I thought about it, the more I shook with fear.
I heard a human walking by. I couldn’t find my bark. I really wanted out of there. I get scared when it gets dark.
I saw the doornob turning. The door came open just a crack. Would I be in the dog house cause I had planned a cat attack?
I closed my eyes and waited. I soon would know my fate. Would I see kindness in their eyes or be penned up in a crate?
I heard a phone a ringin. Someone yelled, “Pearl it’s for you.” She turned and left to answer it. Now what was I to do?
The door, still slightly open, gave me a great idea. As I nosed it open wider, I heard a cat’s voice say…”I’ll see ya.”
When I got to Pearl the human’s rooms, I turned to look for just a minute. Pearl was headed for the cat room. I was glad I wasn’t in it.

There really was a cat room above Sanderson’s Store. Val said the store cat lived there. They took him to Bork’s ranch and he came back…

Yes. The cat room was right across the hall from her kitchen.
