Am I Famous Now?????

 

This is another sad story for you to read........

 

                            "AM I FAMOUS NOW?"

I was born today one of ten. My daddy was very famous, I have lots of famous half brothers and sisters. My mother was very famous, since she got famous she has only had puppies. No more loving hands, no more fun trips , just puppies.

I left home today, I did not want to go with you, so I hid behind my mamma and three 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 liked me.

My new home is far away, I am scared and afraid, my heart says "be brave" my ancestors were. Did they go to homes like mine?

I'm hungry, I can't eat too much, it will be bad for my bones, they say, I can't snap or bite when the children are mean to me, they say "I am being bad". So I just run and play and pretend that I am in a big green field, filled with butterflies and frogs.

I can't understand why they kick me..... I am a quiet puppy, but the man hits me, kicks me and says loud things at me.The lady doesn't feed me good things like I had at my real home with my mother, she throws dry food on the ground and then goes away before I can get too close for touching and petting, sometimes my food smell bad, but I eat it anyway, because I am so hungry.

Today, I had ten 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, yet no one will play with me. It is so hard to lay here in this hole under the house nursing my puppies. I am so hungry and thirsty. I wish some one would throw me  some food.

They are crying now, it is so cold, I scratch around and try to make a warmer place for them to lay. I worry. I have eight puppies now, two got really cold during the night, and I couldn't make them warm. They are gone now. They are cold and lifeless . We are all very weak now, maybe if I take them out on the porch, some one will be happy to see us and then we can get some food and my puppies can be warm.

My feelings were wrong. Today, they took us away, we were too much trouble for them to feed and look after us.

Someone grabbed my puppies, they were crying and whimpering. We were put into the back of a truck with boxes in it.

"Are my babies famous now?", I hope so, because I miss them. They are gone now.

The place smelled of urine, fear and sickness. Why was I here? I was so beautiful like my ancestors, but because they don't like me, now I am hungry, dirty in pain and unwanted, but the worst thing is that I am unwanted. No one came to take me home even though I was so good.

Today someone came, they put a rope around my neck and led me into a room that was so clean and had a shiny table. They put me on the table, someone hugged me, it felt so good, then I felt really tired and laid over to look at the last person who cared. "Am I famous now?" I asked, "Today SOMEONE CARED"!!!!! enough to take me away form the pain and loneliness, of not being loved or wanted, someone cared enough to set me free to run in green fields with butterflies and frogs and all the other animals, where no one is hurt, sick or hated. "I thank this person" They cared.
