Ever
Since I Was BornÂ…![](http://ankn.uaf.edu/NPE/CulturalAtlases/Yupiaq/Marshall/Mustang/images/mustang100.jpg)
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.
