Akina

Please?

"What did we tell you Alexa? Hm? No pets allowed!" my mom said sternly, picking the puppy's hairs of my hoodie, "But mom! Look at her! She was just left there in a dodgy alleyway down the prom! She needs food, water, a ba-" "Yes! Of course! A bath! If this mutt is even being held in this house, he needs a bath! Now go! And take my blah blah blah.." I didn't listen to the rest as it was probably something about turning the cold water at an angle of 89° and then turning it again, just useless knowledge.
"Now," I said, sitting the fluffy little puppy on the closed toilet seat, "Flossy's dog shampoo or Dog To Dye for?" she sat there, staring at me helplessly, the silence was that awkward that I could even hear the unknown puppy sigh. "Oh," I said, lifting her up, "bath time!" she slipped out of my hand on purposely, and PLOP! It was only then that I realized I shouldn't have made the water so deep, yeah, it was alright for the Akita, but the water was splashed all over the walls of the curtains! Ever heard the saying "A mother always knows"? It's not a myth, mom came straight in, "I knew there was something going on, " she said, hands on hips, "I'll clean up, just dry the dog in your bedroom." from that moment, I knew that my mom would be watching me like a hawk. I dried the puppy and he was even poofier than he was before, "Aw! You're a little bear! And you know what, that reminds me, you need a name...I would call you Alexis but it's similar to my name, so...How about, Akita? No! Akina!" she started rolling over, "Guess that's a yes then?" I had always wanted to do this...Bring out my dog bed! It was a beanbag that was too small for me, so I called it a dog bed, "It's an honor, Akita-I mean, Akina!" she sat like a queen, and she was mine...
