The Move to Nevada
Mom and Dad rented a big UHAUL truck. They loaded
all the furniture, for the five day trip from
South Florida to Nevada. Mandy and I got to sit
in the seat of the truck. Lady laid down on the
floor. The furry things (hamsters) were put in
special plastic traveling cases, that mom had
bought for the trip. On the first night of the
trip, mom checked the hamsters and they had
started to eat the containers. She had to dig
their cages out of the back of the UHAUL and put
them in the little truck we were towing. Good
thing they didn't get loose in the UHAUL or my
big sisters might have had a snack!
The trip was pretty fun for me. Mandy was still
jealous of me and fought to lay on mom's lap most
of the way.
We would stop at the many rest areas along the
way to eat and take a potty break. Everytime we
stopped at these places everyone there would want
to pet me. I liked stopping at these places. I
was still a puppy at the time going on five
months old. I had been partially housetrained and
would go to the door when I had to go potty.
Were's the door? We are traveling in a truck? I
was confused, I had to go...real...bad!!
Mom noticed I was jumping around and told Daddy I
had to go. We were in the mountains in Arizona
now, and their was nowhere for Dad to pull over.
It was pretty cold in those mountains as well.
Daddy said to hold me outside the window but Mom
said "NO". She held me over my sister Mandy and I
took a crap. Needless to say, Mandy was not
happy. We soon were at the foot of the mountain
and there was a gas station. Mom cleaned us all
up in the bathroom at the gas station. That was
the only accident I had the whole trip.
In no time we finally arrived in Nevada. Mom and
Dad stayed the first week in a motel. Me and my
two big sisters stayed in a kennel. I got to play
with alot of dogs there. Mom found a house to
rent and we all moved in.
The Escape
Mom and Dad built a big doghouse in the backyard
of the rental house for Lady and Mandy. Lady
always had been a trouble maker. She loved to
destroy things and dig holes. Mom had put me in
the backyard with my big sisters and went in the
house for a few minutes. When she came back out
to get me I was gone!! She screamed to my Dad,
"The baby is missing!" She ran out the front door
of the house to look for me.
Yep, I was out and down the street I was going. I
was visiting the yards and sniffing the grass and
flowers along the way. It was an early Sunday
morning and nobody was around. I hear this
hysterical voice screaming, "Feather, Feather!" I
turned around and there was my Mom, I ran to her.
She was really happy.
Then she went to check how I got out of the yard.
The backyard had a block wall all around it
except the area behind the doghouse. That area
had a wood fence. She noticed the back of the
doghouse had been pushed out, and Lady had dug a
hole. Just big enough for a curious pup like me
to get out.
I will be adding more Chapters of
my life, so come back again soon!!
