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.
