Some
of us, were about 6 years old, some of us were just over 6 weeks, but none of us
were near the age we could / should live to be. We all lived on about 5 acres of land, with lots of shade trees, and
plenty of privacy. We did not leave the property, and we did not chase cars. We all acquired our home the same way.
At one point in time we were all strays, with no real home or place to
belong. Some human took us away, and dumped us on the streets or even major
highways where we were in danger of being destroyed or even just severely
injured. Left to suffer horrendously, by hit and run drivers. Then one day someone saw us, lonely and scared; by the roadside, some of
us were running down the street, not knowing where to turn, and almost being hit
by other uncaring motorists. We didn't know what cars were, or how bad they can hurt us, we only knew
that's what we were dumped out of: so we think that we may be able to find the
one who put us out, hopefully returning to pick us up, because we loved them so
much. But we only found, that we were looking in vain, until one of those autos
stopped and took the time to give us a ride to a place where we could give the
love we had to give, receive the love we deserved, and with shelters from the rain and cold,
and a daily supply of food, and water that we needed, and with others like us to
play with. Here we spent our days playing, running, and doing things we wanted, and
enjoyed doing, and not worrying about getting lost, ran over, or even shot. We slept; we ate,
and slept some more. We carried around sticks, and ate some acorns too and even played tug of
war, with each other. We had to move once before, because some other humans didn't like us
being around so close. Some were mean, and threatened our lives, simply because we wanted to
play. That's how we got to this 5 acre haven of "freedom". Some of us were brought
here from another piece of land, others were
brought here from other highways, and bad streets, some were from neglectful
owners who didn't want them back, and some of us were born here, and lived here
all along.
