Puppy Jimmy
墨書 Inktalez
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, casting dappled spots of light on the floor, as if gilding this ordinary day with a touch of gold.
Jimmy lay at the foot of the stairs, his dark eyes fixed intently on the high steps, as if contemplating some great life decision.
For a puppy only a few months old, these stairs seemed like an insurmountable Mount Everest, filled with challenges and uncertainties.
His little tail drooped down, lazily tapping against the floor, as if sighing in resignation.
His ears hung low, resembling two leaves crumpled by the wind, having lost their former vitality.
"Woof..." he let out a low whine, a sound that seemed to protest against fate while also rallying himself, filled with conflicting emotions.
He yearned to go up—there were his mom and dad, along with his favorite little yellow duck toy, which was his paradise.
But... but the stairs were too high! This filled his little heart with worry.
Jimmy tentatively stretched his small paw toward the first step, hesitating yet hopeful.
The cold wooden surface sent a shiver through him, but he gritted his teeth and moved upward step by step, demonstrating his indomitable spirit.
First step—success!
This small victory filled him with confidence.
Second step—well, not bad!
He continued to push forward, getting closer to his goal.
A sudden "thud!" echoed in the room.
An unexpected event had occurred!
The dog slipped, tumbling down like a rolling carpet, landing on its back with its four paws in the air, belly exposed to the ceiling. It looked utterly ridiculous.
"Hahaha!" A hearty laugh erupted from the sofa, breaking the tense atmosphere.
Dad put down his phone and burst into laughter at Jimmy's clumsy state, "Little guy, are you performing acrobatics?" His tone was filled with teasing and affection.
Mom peeked out from the kitchen, unable to hold back a giggle, "Don't laugh at him! Look how scared he is!" Her voice carried a hint of reproach mixed with concern.
Jimmy shook his head and got back up from the floor. His little tail wagged for a moment before quickly tucking between his legs, appearing somewhat shy and uneasy.
He looked up at his parents, his big, wet eyes filled with grievance and defiance, as if accusing fate of its unfairness.
"Come on, little buddy, try again," Dad said as he squatted down, gently patting Jimmy's small head with his warm hand. "You can do it!" His voice brimmed with encouragement and confidence.
Hearing the encouragement, Jimmy seemed to regain some determination. He shook his head, perked up his little ears slightly, and rallied himself once more.
This time, he decided to change his strategy!
Jimmy lifted his paw cautiously and grasped the stair railing. With determination, he pushed his body upward, appearing more careful and serious.
One step, two steps, three steps…
Although its movements were clumsy, it finally managed to climb steadily onto the first step, which was undoubtedly a significant achievement.
"Well done! Keep going!" Mom stood at the top of the stairs, clapping and cheering with joy and anticipation.
Jimmy heard the encouragement, and his little tail began to wag excitedly, as if celebrating his success.
However, this excitement caused him to lose his balance—
"Thud!" With a dull sound, he slid back down again, this time knocking over a nearby potted plant—truly a case of misfortune coming in pairs.
Soil scattered everywhere, and Jimmy lay on the ground with a low whimper, clearly hurt and feeling a bit downcast. The series of failures had left him feeling somewhat discouraged.
"Oh dear, my poor little one!" Mom rushed over, scooping him into her arms and gently patting him. "Don't be disheartened; you've done so well!" Her tone was filled with concern and comfort.
Dad also came over, squatting down to scratch Jimmy's little nose with his finger. "Try again, okay? I bet you'll succeed this time!" His voice was full of expectation and encouragement.
Jimmy blinked his big, moist eyes, which gradually began to shine with renewed hope. His little heart filled with strength once more.
He looked up at the stairs and then turned to meet the encouraging gazes of his owners. A subtle yet determined expression appeared on his small doggy face—as if to say, "I will do it!"
In that moment, he suddenly stood up, shook off the dirt from his fur, and took another step toward the daunting stairs… armed with a resolve that felt as if he were ready to face anything.
