Then this nice man came and got me out of the kennel. I don't trust strangers, so I will greet you on my belly... I don't know why. I heard the man with the badge say the he was glad this nice man came to get me because ... you know ... and the nice man just nodded and said he was going to make me a FAMOUS DOG and put my picture on the Internet... what ever that is???
Then Boss (the nice man) took me to this clean place and this lady stuck a needle in me! Then I felt something tickle my butt!!! I didn't like that, but Boss told me it was ok... and it was. She said I weigh 39 pounds and am ALL male. ( I could have told her that, things smell *just* right) , and could be between 2 and 4 years old. Then the lady gave Boss a shiny thing that he hung around my neck. Now I know I'm a Famous Dog! When we got to Boss's house, he fed me and said the worm medicine would make me feel better.
I have been here 3 days now (Feb 8, 1997) and I like Boss. I like to play with Chakotay. He is good at catching tennis balls and frisbees. I like to have my ears rubbed and bark. Boss says I bark and howl too much, and tells me to ::: Get in your house ::: and I do. But I trick him. I howl and bark so much that Mrs. Boss makes Boss put me in the the crate inside at night. He says I can't play with the cats inside! But I'm getting tired of this game so I don't do that as much.
Boss always takes me for a walk. I like to walk. Boss showed me how to sit when he stops walking and I remember that it is not good to tug on the lead... I remember that from long ago.... I still don't like to see cars go by, but Boss makes me sit first and I'm not as scared.
(Feb 11) Boss tells me my name is Neelix. I'm not sure what that means, but he says that name and the word ::: COME ::: and tugs on this l o n g strap. I go to Boss, 'cause I want my ears rubbed. I like it when Boss says ::: Good Boy !!! :::. Today Boss got out these yellow balls with fuzz on them. Chakotay runs and catches them. He is good too.. He gets them just before I can get to one. I like THESE balls, I can bite the fuzz off. Chakotay just makes them all wet!
(Feb 20) Boss is proud. He said that I didn't bark once ALL LAST NIGHT ! ! He gave me a T bone and a pat on the head! Today I went for a walk with Boss and Chakotay. We walked side by side and Boss was amazed.
I also had a chance to meet some children. Children scare me so I nip and bark to tell them to stay away. Boss says I'm a ::: Bad Dog ::: and says I can't be around children right now.
(Feb 28) Today I meet a new Nice man. He said he had a large farm for me to play in. Boss said that this would be a new home and that I would be a FAMOUS DOG there. Unfortuntly, the Nice Man said he didn't have a computer, so he would not be able to continue the story of my life on the Internet
Boss says that I found a new home, and that I am a rescue. Now I have a new name, a new life, and a new home. Thanks for reading my story.
