The Day We Met

On a sunny, Summer day in June 2006...

This cage... I love it when we get out... Why is everyone talking so much? Chow time!! Nooo.. more visitors. Again. I wonder if today will be MY day... oh, look, they are coming this way.... (tail wagging). YESSS! I'm out!! Oh, wait, they took out Jimmy, too (sigh). They call me Shane. Glad to be out of the cage. Sniff snifff sniffffffff.... not repulsive... they look different... let me show'em what I've got.... rolling over... here's my belly... ahhh, I like that... keep scratching.... feels so good!! (that's my weak spot). I'm not much of a talker... but I love to greet everyone... I'm easy going... I like to eat... and run... Jimmy's going away, bye Jimmy! All alone but at least not in the cage... waiting... sniffing... waiting... looking... sniffing... ready, set, hike! ahhhh (peeing).... relief. Here they come again... leash... walk... climb in this thing... door shut... we're moving... where are we going? Where are you taking me? (whine whine....) They're saying something... can I get out now? This space is too small... how much longer?? (whine whine)... Complete stop... climb out... new surroundings... new place... snif snif snif... am I alone here? No Jimmy, no Bonkers, no Sally, no Bailey, no Max, no Buddy, no Duke, no Charlie, no Maggie, no Princess, no Coco... just me and these non-dogs. What next?
