First Day

So, here we are with my little tale. It has taken a few months for me to settle and I have been rather ill, so it may take me a while to get up to date with everything.

My life began in Hungary, Europe. I only knew my Mummy for a matter of days before I was taken away from her. I never saw her, nor my brothers and sisters again.
What exactly happened in the first few months of my life is a little unclear, but it resulted in me being left at a place known as a killing centre.

Here I am in my cage. I am next to the dog standing up at the front, to your right. It wasn't very nice, we didn't get much to eat and then it was only the strongest pups that actually ate what we were given. It was crowded, dirty and water was scarce.



Life was pretty much non existent. We waited until it was our time for the humans to come and take us to die. That was all.

One day, a human came in - this one was unlike the humans we saw every day. She walked from cage to cage looking in at everybody. When she got to our cage, she spent a lot of time looking at us all. You never know what is going to happen when a human stands there, we were all a little more nervous than usual.

Anyway. This human took me and some of the others away. It was scary. We were placed into an even smaller cage. This cage made a lot of noise and moved. I felt really ill and threw up. The cage continued to move for what seemed like an eternity. When it did stop, we could hear dogs barking, the barking was different to what we were used to, there seemed to be less fear here but still the usual amount of confusion and stress.
We were taken out of the cage and carried into a room where another human poked and prodded us, putting things in our mouths and sticking sharp things in our necks. The good thing about coming from where we did is that the sharp thing never hurt - we knew real pain.
We were placed into a cage, just a few of us. There were things to lie on! Water too! There was also food in a bowl, but I left that. I knew it couldn't be for me but I watched the others eat it, that was kind of fun!


Things were changing :)
