You see my first human mom didn't want me to go to a new home until I was at least 10 weeks old, but my mom kept asking to please let her get a puppy. So finally my mom was asked down to where I lived. HE HE HE, mom didn't know I was in the kitchen waiting for her, but my first human mom had to make sure this new human was fit to have me.
It had to be fate that brought her into my life. She passed and I was allowed to go home with her to a new home at 9 weeks. I already loved my new mom and I never looked back. When I got to my new home I just strutted in and totally made myself at home. I was so happy that I never even cried.
We had a fun few days until the vet lady came to the house to see me and found a lump in my tummy. I could see the worry in my mom's face. Then mom took me to another vet lady who made me lay on my back and put this cold jelly stuff on my tummy and tickled me with this smooth thing. Mom was with me and kept telling me what a good girl I was and that the ultrasound would be over soon. OK, fine with me until I saw my mom cry. Mom spent alot of time on the telephone the next few days and was crying all the time. I heard her tell the telephone no I can't bring her back and take another puppy. WHAT???
A few more days went by and then we packed up to go to a place called Texas A&M. I did not like it there. They kept putting needles in me and all kinds of weird stuff to me and I couldn't see my mom. I woke up the next morning in a strange and cold place. Where was MOM??? The next thing I remember was waking up hurting. I had all these tubes everywhere so I started chewing them off. I was told I was a sick pup and this is for your own good and was tied down. I was so scared and my mom had just left me in this place? I had to put up with more needles and tests for a week.
One morning I woke up and there was mom crying saying, "My baby Ray, I knew you could do it". Mom took me home. After about 2 weeks I realised I must have been a sick pup because I felt better than I had my whole life. I could go pee and I had so much energy. Mom was always smiling and laughing.
One day she sat me down and told me all that had happened and why.She told me that 1 of my kidney's wasn't a kidney, but a malformed mass and that I was going to die. She told me how she could have traded me in for another healthy pup, but she knew I would be put down. She said she loved me so much that she couldn't do that and that is why I had to go to that Texas A&M place because they were the only ones who could try and save my life.
Whoa, that was a shock and am I glad she came into my life when she did. Everyday I make sure to give mom all the love I have. Funny thing though she does the same.
Please don't leave......see my pictures on the next few pages to see me grow into a very happy and healthy young Lady.
