Tony is waiting for his day Tony was really confused. When a dog gets a full plate of meats, eggs, and fish in the presence of his beloved one, it is natural to be confused. All members of the family were standing around him to watch whether he was comfortable with the food or not. He could see the smile of love in the face of his beloved Roslyn. He became very happy when he saw his greatest enemy Lucy, the Indian cat. She was standing in a corner watching the royal treat he was getting from the family. He was making sure that it was his day. But the kick of the small boy in the house-made him awake from the dream. He became really disappointed when he understood his day was yet to come. Tony could understand that some guests were coming home as the family was celebrating the birthday of the youngest kid. Early morning some people came from the market carrying bags of meats. He then ran to the kitchen, where the meat was being prepared for cooking. He was trying to show the servants the pieces of meat which should be ready for him. But no one heard his words; indeed, they were shouting at him as he entered the kitchen. Seeing it, Lucy was laughing, standing closer to the leg of one of the servants as she always did. Unfortunately, it was not his day. He whispered himself. When the guests were received at home, he noticed a stranger among them. He started to bark at him using all his energy and stood across the stranger’s way biting his trousers. He didn’t understand that it was an official friend of his boss. That time he got a painful kick from his boss, and he was chained. He felt like his loyalty was questioned. Unfortunately, it was not his day. He was sure that Roslyn, who was in the next home, would come to the party. He could definitely get some time to spend with her. She came with her boss, but a German shepherded was also with them. She looked very happy being with that new fellow. Even though Tony tried to attract her by making some noise, she even didn’t care about him. Unfortunately, it was not his day. Tony expected good heavy food in the afternoon, but that was the day he realized how much food human beings could take at a time. He got only some pieces of bone. Lucy was belching, looking at him. She wanted to show she was full. Unfortunately, it was not his day. After the party, when all guests left home, the family was getting ready to go out. Tony prepared to accompany them but was not allowed to get into the car. All family members took food from outside. So, he didn’t get any food in the night too. Before going to sleep, he made sure that it was definitely not his day.
