Hello, my name is Oreo and I want to tell you my story of my Happy Ending!
I was born on August 13, 2010 and was separated from my mom at a young age. When I left my mom, I went on a road trip to Saskatoon where I was sent to a store called Pet Smart. I didn’t know what was going to happen. The people there were so nice to me. However they fed me Kale and I hated the stuff, yet to please them I ate it anyway. I enjoyed it there. But however that was to change. A family came in one day when it was cold outside and there was white stuff covering the grass. I heard that they wanted a pet for their daughter. She looked like she was small to me. I was leery about them. They didn’t seem too bad only that I was thinking that something was wrong with what they were asking. They were asking on what I needed and the type of care I needed…. I didn’t like the fact that I wasn’t held and the girl kept poking the glass. I didn’t like that. But they insisted on buying me. I went with them and I was unsure about everything. Then I got scared because every time I was picked up it hurt and I cried. They didn’t understand. So I started biting and they hated it. I made sure I was not happy. They were very disappointed because I hurt their daughter by biting her and drawing blood. So they returned me the next day. I had only been there for a week. The person who took me back was surprised at my behavior because I bit her. She calmed me down and after three days with her I was back on display. Two days later a lady in a bright green coat came. I saw how she was looking at me and had a huge smile on her face when she saw me. She even talked to me! She questioned about me and asked to hold me. When I was placed in her arms I knew she was my mom and I snuggled in deep thinking please take me home. She said she would be back in four hours and to put me on reserve. I COULDN’T BELIEVE IT! I WAS GOING WITH SOMEONE WHO CARED ABOUT ME! When she came back, I was placed in a box and I hated it. She knew and made sure I was comforted. I arrived at my new home and I was immediately given a haircut on my bum! But that night she snuggled with me and I knew I was home. I snuggled with my new mom every day and night. I loved her so much. I love my home. They treat me so well. I hope my followers find their happy endings like I did. I was almost 3 months old when my mommy bought me and now I get to spend my first birthday with my mommy and my daddy. I am so happy that I went home with the lady in the green coat who is now my mommy!
