Twilight

It was cold. I was shivering. I had slept on the cold hard floor away from my siblings and my mother.

Everything was dark except for the lone light outside. It emitted fuzzy amber light. The light looks warm and comforting. I must go to it.

As I scrambled to get up, Josephine whined, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to the light. It might be warm there." I replied.

"Come here," she growled, "it's warmer."

"It's crowded." I argued. I sensed my siblings are still lying in piles near her teats.

Josie growled, "Don't get me started..."

I felt my blood curdle. I had never imagined her that irritated. I could hear the other dog bark. She was rarely irritated.

My siblings stirred. Josie was really angry.

"Are you going to come back here or do you want me to get you?" she hissed angrily.

With my tail between my legs, I cuddled beside her, hoping that my siblings won't crush me to death.
