We were all alone and had no one to look after us. We are so happy
 now, because a nice man took us in and gave us somewhere to live. We have a nice warm bed of our own, and nearly all the food we can eat. We could eat more, but he says we would get fat. We wouldnt mind really, even fat doggies can be happy.  Please think of all the others like us out there, many of them have nobody to care for them. All we can give in return is a lifetime of devotion.

 There is another little dog called "Hope", we met him today. He was lost and alone, he had been badly beaten and his back is damaged. There isnt much room where we live, but he had nowhere.  We asked our owner to take him home, and he did pick him up, but we dont know where he took him. We could keep him warm at night.

Fantastic news!  Hope has come to live with us.  It all happened so suddenly, he just arrived.  Our owner opened the back door, and hope came running out. We each have our own food bowl, and boy is he greedy. We have eating races, to see who can eat the most the fastest. Its the best of fun, but so far Hope wins every time.  He wanted to lie in my spot, and I let him. I wouldnt usually, but hes nice and there is still room for me.

Its been rain and raining,everythings wet! We havent been out as much because our owner  doesnt like it. So we have to find things to do to pass the time. Its great that there are three of us, we can snuggle down together, and be nice and warm. We do that a lot when it wet outside. The good news is that weve made up a new game. Our owner calls it "digging". Its great fun. We had a competition, to see who was the fastest digger. I found a good place where the ground was soft, its easier to dig when its wet. I thought I was doing well, but when I checked on the others, Beauty was away ahead. Boy can she dig. It was really deep. I went to have a closer look and Hope knocked me in, then he jumped in too. We had a wrestle in the mud, hes a good wrestler, but I was slippery and he couldnt get a grip. So it was a draw. Its great to have each other to play with. Our owner came out and put us to bed, we were so wet and muddy that he washed us in clean water. Hes nice really, so all he said was. "Stop digging, you lot". He filled in the hole, and thats great cause we can dig it again tomorrow. It proves he didnt mind that much.

Whew! That was the bestest day ever. We went to the seashore. It was Hopes first time to see the sea. I was going to show him crabs and things, but Beauty challenged us to a running contest.Oh boy, what a runner she is.Hope and me ran and ran, but she was gone. Away far we could see her still running. She nearly beat a seagull, thats how good a runner she is. Ive never had such good running fun. Now we are all curled up together, dreaming about running, and crabs, and rocks............Read Alainns Story
