We were visiting our daughter when we adopted our Boston terrier, Tad. An adorable puppy, just three months old, he became the family’s center of attention. Each morning, as soon as he heard my daughter Kayla moving around downstairs, he had to be taken down for playtime before she left for work. When she came home from work, we had him waiting for her at the door.
当我们收养我们的波士顿梗Tad时,我们正在探望我们的女儿。他是一只可爱的小狗,才三个月大,就成了家里的焦点。每天早上,他一听到我女儿凯拉在楼下走动,就不得不在她去上班之前把他带下来玩。当她下班回家时,我们让他在门口等她。
After three weeks we left for home. On the drive, we let Tad talk to Kayla on the phone each night. Once home, every time we called Kayla or she called us, we always put Tad on. He scratched the phone and listened intently and tried to look into the phone to see her.One Saturday, Kayla called while we were out. She left a message. Tad was standing beside me when I pressed the button to listen to the message. He listened to her talking and cocked his head, grinning at me. I played it again for him.
三个星期后我们回家了。在路上,我们让Tad每天晚上和Kayla通电话。回家后,每次我们给凯拉或她打电话,我们都会接通塔德的电话。他抓着手机,聚精会神地听着,并试图透过手机看她。一个星期六,我们外出时,凯拉打来电话。她留言了。当我按下按钮听留言时,泰德正站在我旁边。他听着她说话,低着头,对我咧嘴笑着。我又给他演奏了一遍。
A few days later, I was taking my shower when I heard the answering machine come on and Kayla leave a message. I thought it was strange when I heard her message repeat and the machine announce, “End of messages.”
A few seconds later Kayla’s message began yet again.
几天后,我正在洗澡,突然听到答录机响了,凯拉留言了。当我听到她的消息重复,机器宣布“消息结束”时,我觉得很奇怪
几秒钟后,凯拉的信息又开始了。
Wondering what was going on, I climbed out of the shower, wrapped a towel around myself and headed into the living room. There stood Tad, listening to the answering machine. I stopped and watched. When the message finished, he stood up with his feet against the edge of the low table, reached over with one paw (爪子) and slapped (拍打) the answering machine. The message came on again. He dropped back on the floor and listened happily. I told him “no,” and distracted (使分心) h
