Dogs are FAMILY
FORGIVE ME, MOMMY!!!
I stayed right where you left me for two whole days, sleeping on the side of the road. I was terrified of the noise from the cars, but I didn’t move. Last night, one of those cars stopped, and a woman got out. She invited me to lunch, but I said no. She asked if I wanted to come sleep at her house, and I also said no. I tried to explain that I was waiting for you, but she wouldn’t listen.
She pulled out a leash and said I couldn’t stay there any longer. I bit her several times and ended up peeing on myself while I growled and cried! She didn’t understand that she was separating me from you. She took me against my will, and we drove off! I was so sad because I knew you would be worried. We ended up at her house.
I kept screaming, hoping you would hear me, but you never came. I vomited from nerves because I felt so sick. I kept telling her I needed to go back because you would think I abandoned you when you saw I wasn’t there! I, who love you with all my heart and soul, haven’t stopped crying since we separated a few days ago. I want you to know I would never do that to you.
I don’t know where you are now or why you stopped the car and left me there. You must have had something very important to do. Can you come find me now, Mommy?
Today, I ate because my tummy was hurting. I also slept on a very soft bed. And by accident, I even wiggled my tail a bit. I’m so sorry, please forgive me. She’s just being really nice to me. She said I could stay forever. She’s calling me Savannah, but I already have a name. When you pick me up, you can tell it to her. You’ll see how surprised she’ll be when you explain that this was a big mistake.
Because, Mommy, you’re coming back for me, right?
