I am famous now
I was born today. One of 10. My Daddy is very famous. I have lots of half
brothers and sisters. My Mother is very famous. Since she got famous,
she has only had puppies. No more loving hands, no more fun trips…
just puppies. She is always sad when they leave her.
I left home today. I didn’t want to go, so I hid behind my mama and my 3
litter mates that were left. I didn’t like you. But one day they said I
would be famous. I wonder, is famous the same as fun and good times? So
you picked me up and carried me away, even though you were concerned
about me hiding from you. I don’t think you like me.
My new home is far away. I am scared and afraid. My heart says BE BRAVE. My
ancestors were. Did they go to good homes like mine? I’m hungry because
I can’t eat too much because it will be bad for my bones. I can’t bite
and snap when the children are mean to me. I just run and play and
pretend I am in a big green field with butterflies and robins and frogs.
I can’t understand why they kick me. I am quiet, but the man hits and
says loud things. The lady doesn’t feed me good things like I had with
my mother. She just throws dry food on the ground, then goes away
before I can get too close for touching and petting. Sometimes my food
smells bad but I eat it anyway.
Today I had 10 puppies. They are so wonderful and warm. Am I famous now? I wish I could play with them, but they are so tiny. I am so young and playful that it is hard
to lay here in this hole under the house nursing my puppies. They are
crying now. I am so hungry. I scratch and worry my fur. I wish someone
would throw me some food. I am also very thirsty. I now have 8. 2 got
cold during the night and I couldn’t make them warm again. They are
gone. We are all very weak. Maybe if I take them out on the porch, we
can get some food.
Today they took us away. It was too much
trouble to feed us and someone came to take us away. Someone grabbed my
puppies, they were crying and whimpering. We were put in a truck with
boxes in it. Are my babies famous now? I hope so, because I miss them.
They are gone.
The place smelled of urine, fear and
sickness. Why was I here? I was beautiful, like my ancestors. Now I am
hungry, dirty, in pain and unwanted. Maybe the worst is unwanted. No
one came though I tried to be good.
Today someone came. Theyput a rope around my neck and led me to a room that was very clean andhad a shiny table. They put me on the table. Someone hugged me. It felt
so good!! Then I felt tired and laid over the last one who cared. I AM
FAMOUS NOW. Today someone cared.
