Little Mix Up In Heaven Delivers Bichon Frise Instead of Human – Part 3

“Where are you taking me?!” I screamed again. The hand was carrying me away from my dogs.

I was totally confused and getting dizzy as the cage swung back and forth.  Wham!  “To the back of the car, pup,” he said as he threw the cage inside of it.  A car, I realized, took you from here to there without much effort on your part.  And go it did for a while until  Slam!   I flew around in the cage.  The car had stopped. What now?

The door opened.  The hand was bringing in another dog.  “Hey, who are you?” I said.  But he didn’t say anything.  He stood in the corner looking kind of scared.  He had dark hair and dreamy brown eyes.  We didn’t look alike at all.  I noticed his three long legs.  I counted mine:  I had four…but ants had six and humans had only two… I introduced myself and asked him his name. “Toby,” he said softly.  It turned out his story was just like mine—fine one minute, in the cage the next. 

“None of my siblings had pointy ears like me,” I was telling him, when the car stopped again. This time we both ended up in the corner.  “I’ll bet you there’s one more coming,” I said.  I was right.  Her name was Sadie.  Her ears were long and droopy.  She was trembling and her eyes were closed.  When she opened them, Toby and I noticed she had one blue eye and one brown eye.  “How cool!” we both said at the same time.  Sadie smiled.

This is what Sadie looked like...

It was a smooth ride after that.  We talked our ears off until we fell asleep.  We had become good friends in no time.

Sudden shaking woke us.  The hand was taking the cage into a building.  “Hello, Elaine,” said the man.  “Here are your freaks!  I don’t know why you want to buy them, but they are all yours!”  Freaks?  What did that mean?  The man left. 

We all stared at Elaine wondering what would happen next.  The sunlight coming through the window was shining behind her… She looked at us and smiled.  And as she took each one of us and placed us in a warm and cozy bed, she said, “You’re no freaks, little ones, just a little bit different and very special.  I know someone out there is just waiting to bring you home and give you lots of love…” ”I think she’s an angel,” I whispered.

We cuddled up against each other.  We knew we were safe.  We promised each other that , no matter what, we would stay friends forever. We fell fast asleep.

Next time I’ll tell you how this story ends.

Fluffily yours,

 

When I came across this picture online I could not believe my eyes, since it reminded me so much of Sadie…   But this is a picture of Bowie by artist Larry Merrill from his page www.dogeachday.com .  Mr. Merrill used brush pen and pencils on Canson watercolor paper (about 7.25″ x 7.25″) to create this magnificent artwork. The reference photo was by by Wendy.  Besides Bowie, there are many more renditions of fellow dogs.  I strongly recommend viewing it.  ~N~
