• Hi, my name is Michie.
    Most people call me Bear, except Kestral.
    My mother’s name was Snowy and my father’s name was King. When I was 5 months old, Snowy and I were walking around near the school, when an 11 year old girl came and gave us each 5 Marrow Bone dog treats. Her name was Kestral. I followed her home and she gave me 8 hand-fulls of dog food. I went home with her again the next day and got more dog food. I started sleeping outside her bedroom window. On the 5th day that I followed her home she decided to give me a name. “You always follow me, so your name will start with Mi” she said. Then I sneezed. It sounded sort of like I said “Chie.” “Bless-you” she said. “Chie! that’s it! Michie! That can be your name!” she said. So that’s how I got the name Michie. “ I love you Michie! I’ll never let anyone hurt you, little boy. Never. Good boy Michie. Good boy.” she whispered in my ear. So I became her adopted outside pup. It was pretty cool. My father was the leader of a pack of 8-9 dogs. Every now and then I would run around with them. But I would always return to Kess. She started letting me in about 3 weeks after she found me. Roxy and Rivers, two husky pups came over and formed what Kess called “The puppy pack.” Rivers had had a broken leg and when it callused over her leg was up, so she couldn’t put it down any more. Fabien came over to Kess’s home 5 days after Roxy and Rivers started to visit. Kess, Chloe and Fabien started to play baseball with a stick and some rocks. Fabien told them that Roxy and Rivers were his pups and brought them home with him. The next day R&R came back to Kess’s house and jumped through her living room window, Kess had a “puppy roundup.”Max, Kess’s first dog was really not happy with R&R. They would run through the house until they found his food. Then they would eat until Kess took them outside. Nancy was shipping out two very young puppies and snuck Rivers in too. Kess left to go to Gaspe, Qubec to visit her granddad. While Kess was gone Chloe fed me and played with me. A couple days after Kess left Nancy and her 9 year old daughter Jackie started letting me in. They also let Roxy in, but they said that they were keeping me. I almost never saw Kess and I miss playing with Roxy. The only time I ever see her is when Nancy lets me out. I never see Kess anymore and I’m inside all day. I wish I could see her again but she’s back at her old home now and she couldn’t take me with her, if I could have anything in the world, even for one day, it would be to see her one more time. I miss her so much and I dream about seeing her and playing with her every night. Sure Nancy takes care of me but she just took me cause her dog spike ran away. Her kid doesn’t play with me as much cause there’s always other dogs around getting shipped out so she plays with them instead. And of course. They changed my name so I get called Bear all the time so I don’t even get to keep that from Kess. She was my best friend and I stayed waiting by her door after she left for the night and waited to get in in the morning, but she never came. And now I’ll never see her again. My best friend is gone forever. crying
