I AM FAMOUS NOW
Author Unknown
"I was born today. One of ten. 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 hide behind my momma 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 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 homes like mine? I'm hungry because I cann't eat to much because it might be bad for my bones. I cann't bite or snap when children are mean to me. I just run and play and pretend I am in a big green field with butterflies, robins and frogs. I cann'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 get to close for touching or 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 puppies. They are crying now. I am so hungry. I scratch my fur and worry. I wish some one would throw me some food. I am thursty. I now have 8. Two 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 all out on the porch we can get some food.
"Today they took us all away. It was to much trouble to feed us and so someone came to take us away. Someone grabbed my puppies, they were crying and wimpering, we were put in a truck with boxes in it. Are my babies FAMOUS NOW? I hope so, because I will 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 and in pain and unwanted. Maybe the worst is unwanted.
"No one came though I tried to be good. Today some one came. They put a rope on my neck and lead me to a room that was very clean and had a shiny table. They put me on the table. Someone held me and hugged me. I felt so good!!!! Then I felt tired and laid over the last one who cared.
