MY STORY

THE BEGINNING OF A PUPPIES LIFE STORY

HI, MY NAME IS MISTAYA AND I AM NOT SURE OF MY BIRTH DATE. I BELIEVE IT MAY HAVE BEEN SOMETIME AROUND JULY 13TH BUT THAT'S JUST A GUESS AND I WILL CALL THAT MY BIRTHDAY FROM NOW ON.

YOU SEE, I SEEM TO HAVE MEMORIES OF MY PEOPLE TRYING TO GIVE AWAY MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND ME OUT OF A CARDBOARD BOX IN A STORE PARKING LOT. BUT NO ONE TOOK ME HOME WITH THEM. I WAS VERY YOUNG AND DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO ME. THAT EVENING, AFTER THE SUN HAD GONE DOWN AND IT HAD GROWN DARK, THE PEOPLE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT ME OUT ON THE GROUND AND DROVE AWAY. IT WAS SO DARK AND I COULDN'T FIND ANY OF MY FAMILY AND I WAS VERY SCARED. I SPENT THAT NIGHT AND SEVERAL MORE HIDING IN THE WOODS WONDERING WHEN MY PEOPLE WERE COMING BACK TO GET ME. OH, ALL THOSE STRANGE SCARY SOUNDS. IT WAS SO DARK! I CRIED AND CRIED BUT NO ONE CAME TO SAVE ME AND MAKE ME WARM.

SEVERAL DAYS LATER A LADY WITH A SOFT GENTLE VOICE TRIED TO APPROACH ME BUT I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE WANTED. I RAN TO THE LARGEST GROUP OF BUSHES I COULD FIND AND TRIED TO HIDE FROM HER. BUT AS SHE APPROACHED ME AGAIN I THOUGHT I COULD SMELL SOMETHING THAT MADE MY TUMMY STIR. SHE SEEMED SO VERY PATIENT AS SHE DIDN'T GET TO CLOSE AT FIRST. SHE KEPT TALKING TO ME IN HER SOFT GENTLE VOICE AND I STARTED TO THINK THAT MAYBE SHE COULD HELP ME FIND MY FAMILY.

EVENTUALLY MY DESIRE TO RUN AND HIDE WAS OVERRIDDEN BY MY DESIRE TO SURVIVE. I SLOWLY AND CAUTIOUSLY CRAWLED TOWARD HER TRYING TO KEEP AS LOW TO THE GROUND AS POSSIBLE. SHE DIDN'T TRY TO REACH OUT AND GRAB ME BUT SAT QUIETLY AS I APPROACHED HER. AND THEN, THE SWEET TASTE OF SOME SORT OF COOKIE. OH MY, I HAVE NEVER TASTED ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. I THINK I LIKE THIS LADY!

THEN I FELT HER ARMS AROUND ME HOLDING ME CLOSE AND I JUST COULDN'T STOP GIVING HER BIG KISSES ALL OVER HER FACE. SHE SPOKE SOFTLY TO ME AS SHE PICKED ME UP AND PLACED ME IN A SAFE FEELING BOX THING AND I FELT THE THING START TO MOVE AND SWAY A BIT. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO ME BUT THIS WAS THE BEGINNING OF MY NEW LIFE.

TOMORROW THE STORY OF MY FIRST RESCUE BEGINS. THANKS FOR STOPPING BY AND PLEASE COME BACK TO READ MORE OF MY STORY.
