Happy New Year It is Bebe's Birthday

Happy Birthday Bebe

Toady is the day that Mom gave Bebe for her Birthday because we didn't know when her birthday really was. She was given to us in the last week of January and looked to be about 4 weeks old. She was given to us by Mom's friend whose son had found this little puppy in a dumpster crying. Someone had thrown her away.

The son brought Bebe to us because he knew we would give her a loving home. Just before Christmas in 1999 Patches wandered off from where we had moved the 17th of November. She looked exactly like Bebe. Mom searched and searched the desert for Patches, driving around and walking and calling her. She went to the Shelter every day for about a month to see if she was there. We never did find her.

At first I didn't like that little puppy who kept climbing all over me when I was sleeping and eating my food and peeing and pooping in the house. But little by little she grew on me. I was a big boy of 3 when she came and I had places to go and other animals to meet.

We didn't have a fence around our yard there in the Mojave desert so I got to run free and stay out to play a long time. Mom wouldn't let Bebe run free because we had lost Patches. Bebe had to stay on a chain when mom was gone to work. Even when she went out to go potty mom put her on a chain by the front porch. Mom would sit out there and play ball with her too and teach her to walk on a leash by going around and around the 1 acre we lived on. I would follow along and try to get Bebe to run with me but Mom wouldn't let her.

Well y-all have a Happy New Year.
