Chapter 3 Exploring the New World

As I woke up this morning I looked out the door and saw this white stuff everywhere. When my human mom opened the door I was the first to jump right to see what this white stuff was. It was great. As I rolled around in it I seen that my human parents were laughing. I sure liked to bring them pleasure. They were the parents I wanted to stay with and I was trying to learn every word that they said. They called this white stuff snow. I had it all over my nose and they picked me up and smiled. My fur was they same color the snow was. It was so deep that they could only see my black nose barreling through it. I had three siblings and we played and rolled in the cold white stuff. They dried us off when we came back in. These humans were really nice and took such good care of me. After my nap I began to explore the world around me and by my human parents faces I could tell when I was good and bad. I tried my hardest to please them but being a pup and new to this world I learned quickly that there were things I could chew on and things I couldn't. I didn't mind anything they said because I loved them unconditionally and even after they scolded me I came right up with my tail wagging and they welcomed me with open arms. Boy this new world was great. I told them with a strange noise that came from my mouth. It was a squeaking bark. Its funny but I knew what they were saying but I could not speak words like they did. Oh well as long as we could understand each other life here would be swell.

Chapter 2

I was playing with the siblings that were still with me. We ran or should I say fumbled around learning what this world was all about. I was really enjoying these humans as they cuddled with us, played with us and I know they loved us very much. We could do no wrong and their smiles made me want to please them in every way I could. I did not want to be the next dog to leave with some strangers. See you humans don't know this but the first humans I saw when my eyes first opened were my mom and dad. My dog mom nudged us out shortly after we got teeth and she growled at us when we tried to eat. My human parents loved us unconditionally and I did not want this to change. You know these people really love dogs as they took such good care of us. They gave us a warm place to sleep and feed us well. Each of us had our every need met. How would human children like to be adopted by someone you know nothing about. As a pup you can sense good dog parents and bad dog parents. We have a special sense that you humans know nothing about. As a matter of fact us dogs have more special abilities than humans are really aware of. As I continue with my story I will eventually tell you about why a dog is called "Mans Best Friend". Right now I want to tell my whole story from the beginning.

A Country Dog is Born

On February 17th, 2001, my life began. It was an ordinary beginning meaning it all began with the stork dropping us off. Boy did my mom love me then.. The reason I say then is because now you would never know she was my mom. Its' a doggy dog world which isn't to say I had a bad mom but in the animal world when you are weaned mom starts getting a little grouchy and you are thrown out of the nest as soon as you can find your first meal. They took over after my real dog mom had decided I was all grown up. One day some of my siblings that I loved to play with began to disappear and I thought it was stranger abduction. I ran and hid from these strangers when they came. People of all shapes and sizes would come and look over our family of 6 kids and one by one these odd humans would leave with my siblings. Tears would come to my eyes when they would be staring back at me. I really did not think that human people really understand how sad I was to be losing my family. I also noticed that my human mom and dad had tears coming from their eyes. I felt better after noticing that they checked the humans out very well making sure my siblings were going to be well taken care of. I began to wonder that maybe I would be the next to go. I was lucky today as I got to stay with my human mom and dad. I hoped my brother would have good humans to care for them. Stay tuned for my life and times in the next posting and I hope you will return.
