My Incredible Life
I don't recall much about my birth. I was born in Wisconsin and lived with my parents for 8 short weeks before departing on my life journey. A human wanted to meet me and so I was prepared for my first trip. I didn't know that I would never return to see my parents and siblings again. This is something I wish I would have known but then I may not have wanted to leave. I wish I had some way to let them know that I am safe and I love them. I am happy. Very happy :). Thank you Mom and Dad for bringing me into this world to have the experiences and love that I've enjoyed. I wish you could experience this with me.
My life really started on the day I was placed into a crate and loaded onto an airplane headed to Southern California. It was an emotional day. I didn't know what was in store for me. It was the first time I was separated from my parents and siblings and I didn't know where I was going or what to expect when I arrived. My crate was loaded into the airplane cargo area. I remember it was dark, cold, noisy, and extremely frightening. I was shaking and I missed my family already. I felt like I was moving and could feel the change in pressure. I had no idea what to expect or how long this would last but I cried because I was scared. After what seemed an eternity, I heard loud noises and then felt a large jolt. There were screeching sounds and things I could not understand. I didn't know if this was the beginning or end of a nightmare.
Finally, I saw light. There was relative calm but a lot of commotion. I felt my cage being moved again and I could see humans all around. I never saw so many people! I was frightened and a mess and I just wanted be back in the comfort I felt when I was with my mom.
Then a human approached my cage. I remember seeing these big shiny eyes, a huge smile, and excitement - for me! This is when I met my savior, Andy. It was love at first site and I knew that I was meeting someone special. I couldn't wait for him to hold me. He drove us to his home where I was given my first bath. That's when the love started. I got so much attention, hugs, and kisses. This is where the story of my life begins.

Me after my first bath. My smile says it all! I'm safe and loved. And look at my big feet!
