My Long Dog Days

Having a human is a dream all pups have. I was a stray until one cold fall day I was looking for food and I stumbled into a yard with a bag of trash in the yard. A man came out of a trailer to feed the birds. He looked at me and ran inside. When he came outside he had a warm soft blanket he grabbed me out of the trash. He brought me inside, he filled up the sink and put me inside. It was warm and something sparked inside of me that I was truly loved. As he dried me off he put me down on the floor by the couch. They had no pets. As soon as he knew i was his pup he grabbed his keys along with his pup themran out the door to his car he put me in the passenger seat .He drove for what seemed like forever… Finally we ended up at a big loud building. The man grabbed me and put me in his hoodie pocket. We walked in. He looked at me then asked me what my name was. I thought long and hard about what my name was. He said that was a problem for later. We walked down a colorful sidewalk. He set some toys in front of me, a bunny and a pink bone I chewed on both. He picked me up then he put me back in his hoodie pocket. He put the toys in the cart then we started down the sidewalk again. He stopped at a place with a bunch of leashes and collars. He grabbed me a matching john deer collar set.i felt like i was already loved for the first time ever. The man took me home. His wife wasn't too happy that there was a puppy in her home when they were expecting a baby. 

A few months later a new baby boy arrived at our home. I was going to have a life long best friend. As the days went on we both grew. I had a name. My name was Maggie. He had a name. His name was colton. As we grew older we grew closer by the time he was two we were already going on walks all around the trailer park. My favorite times were when we would go to grandma's house and I could play with her dog buick. She was way bigger than me but she was a gentle giant with a great heart. My boy was about to turn three when mom came home with another baby. I was already happy with one kid but two kids live would be great. This time mom came home with a baby girl. I had a boy named Colton and a girl named Keagan. Life was great.

 About four years later my health was no so hot i was struggling my family was by me the whole time and i got plenty of pets.on november 24 2020 it was time for me to go i stopped at each family member to say goodbye my sister was at home and i know she would have a hard time but understand it was my time. I know it would be hard for my whole family but great mutt life needs to continue on in a different    


Afew years passed i don't remember them much but we were getting ready to move into a bigger house for us to grow up in. Keagan was about to turn 2. We moved into a big gray house by a river a week before Keagans birthday. For her birthday she got a big brown german shepherd puppy. I would have a friend to play with. I taught this puppy how to howl and she taught me how to growl. My life was perfect at least i tought when i was about six the puppy tore up my bunny the bone was lost in moving but mr bunny was my most prized possession. My family looked long and hard for a new mr bunny they found one but it wasn't they mr bunny.
