Sammy Story 20: Daddy’s Gone!

November 9, 2020 | News | No Comments

Daddy’s gone! Daddy’s gone! The Ogre is no more!

Theo now had to go away for work for two weeks at a time. Sammy kept looking around for him, concerned that he could pop up from anywhere. But after a few days, he stopped looking for him and began to relax. He still started at strange sounds, convinced some new calamity was about to get him. But he lost that alert, on-guard-all-the-time look.

Maybe he thought he got rid of him. Now he played more, and would eat without me having to guard him while eating his food. He also changed where he sleeps. He now decided that under the bed was the optimum place to be.

But when Theo came home, it was back to square one.

Is this guy back again, Mom? What’s he doing here? Weren’t we doing okay with just you and me?

The funny thing was, that though it seemed like going back to the beginning, it really wasn’t. The odd time, Sammy would hang around and not head for the hills when Theo was in the room. He still bolted if he made a step in his direction, or made a noise, but he seemed to tolerate him just that little bit.
