My friend Ty

When we first met, he was shy. So shy that he’d run away at the sight of me. I kept it up, saying hi, how are you, and eventually fear gave way to curiosity…

Weeks went by, and he got more accustomed to my presence. He stopped running away from me, and would watch me for a bit. Then, he started coming over. It was exciting seeing him become friendly I must admit. I took to naming him Ty. He never told me what he called himself…

Then one day, Ty came to visit me in my home. He looked around warily, walking circles in my kitchen. He tried some of the food, had a little water, then out the door. Dad was surprised he came in at all! I told him Ty wants to live with us. He said he wants him to get checked out before he can get a room.

A day later, Ty has been cleared, save for a one day quarantine-he had a lil something! I can’t wait to show him off to the rest of the family…

Welcome to the family, Ty!
