Ever Since I Was Born…

I remember the day when I was born. I couldn't see anything because my eyes were stuck. It was weird not seeing, but one day I woke up and I could see!! I was so happy, I ran out of my mom's house and wagged my tail, barking as hard as I could. I lived with my mom for 3 weeks, and one day a big thing came and took me. Later on I found out that this "big thing" was a person. Gee, my mom never even told me about people. Anyways, this person, called Clem, brought me into his house and fed me some imitation milk. Boy, did I miss drinking from my mom! I lived with Clem and his family for one month until one day they kicked me out for peeing all over. I thought we could pee all over because when I was little my mom didn't scold me for peeing. I guess that's why they called me PeeWee.

I lived outside in the porch and everyday I'd run around. I'd run across a lot of people and sometimes they'd kick me or hit me with something. I hated it and I'd run away from them. Other times I'd run into other dogs like me. Some would be friendly like my best friend, Pepsi. But some dogs were mean and they didn't like me. Sometimes my owner would feed me but most times I rummaged around town for my own food. And I was always full.

One day, after running around for a month, my owner tied me up. I hated being tied up but after 3 months now, I'm pretty used to it. The thing that I really hate about it is that I only get fed once a day. Each day Pepsi wakes me up. He lives right next door and he's an early bird. We tell each other stories until the other dogs wake up. Then we all tell stories. About 12 dogs live in my neighborhood.

Around 3:00 or 4:00 P.M., Clem comes and ties us to a sled. We have to pull him for about 45 minutes every day. I look forward to it because after we run he feeds us. We usually eat fish soup or frozen fish. Sometimes he gives us really good food. It's called Purina Dog Chow. That's my favorite kind of food. After I eat, I usually lay around and talk with Pepsi. I usually go to bed around 9:00 or 10:00. Then I wake up and do the same thing all over again.
