Hi, my name is BREE and I'm about one year old. I'm not really sure what has been happening to me, but I do know it's a lot better than the life I used to have with a real jerk down in Dodge City, Kansas.
You see, the guy that used to own me kept me tied to a tree and he abusively kicked me. He even denied me food. I thought my luck would change when a kind soul offered to take me, but the jerk refused to surrender me. Sigh...
Not long after, while I was tied to the tree, this boy dog came along and, well, you know. My owner was very angry, so he called the kind lady and told her that the dog (that's me) "had gotten herself pregnant", and if she didn't take me, he was "going to take her out and shoot her". YIKES!!
Well, thanks to the kind lady, I did not get shot, nor did I freeze to death tied to that dumb tree. I had a total of twelve pups. You know, girls as young as I shouldn't be having pups, and not all twelve were born healthy. I still have nine, though, and they all appear to be doing quite well, thank goodness!!
It's been pretty hard on me to be so young and to have so many mouths to feed. The little ones are now eating solid food, so I am getting to rest a bit. I am also eating a lot since I was skinny when all this started, and raising puppies takes a lot out of a girl. I'm about to get real busy teaching them some puppy manners, but will be looking for a forever home right around Valentine's Day.
I am kinda scared of men right now (gee, I wonder why...), but am great with all the women I have met. I love to be petted, and will wag my tail and give kisses. I thought about getting in bed with the humans, but decided that maybe now is not the right time for that. Later on, I'm sure I'll enjoy laying close to my humans and taking real good care of them cuz I know they will be taking real good care of me!
