I picked my mommy…SHE thinks she picked me!

Hi! My name is Annabelle Maxine. I am a Maltese-Shitzu mix. I am named after my dog mommy and dog daddy Annie B and Max. But my mommy thinks I am such a princess that she calls me just Belle! My mommy has a friend who posted a picture on one of those social sites (I cant read, but I hear her talk about her face in a book all the time. It sounds weird to me!). Anyway, he posted a picture of me and all of my little brothers and sisters to tell the other people in this book thing that we had arrived. I am not sure where we arrived from, but I sure was glad my dog mommy was there to greet me. Well, my mommy said that she told her friend that she sure could use some of that bundle of cuteness in her life. (She used to have another doggie that died and went to doggie heaven and then she said that her ex-husband had been a bad person and taken her other puppy away from her when he left her.) So, she told her friend that she wasn’t sure that she wanted to have another doggie (Can you imagine NOT wanting a doggie???). But her friend knew that she needed me and tat she was really sad all the time, so he told her to just come look at us and that would make her happy, just to spend a few minutes with us. So she agreed.

WELL….she called her friend’s Aunt (That is the person who owned my doggie mommy and daddy) and asked if she could just come and look at us. This person said sure and was my mommy interested in a boy or a girl. Mommy said that if she DID get another puppy is would have to be a girl and this person said, oh, that’s to bad because I only have little boys left. My mommy said that she was very happy to hear that because she could ;look and then just walk away and then her friend would leave her alone.

So, my “first person” told me that mommy was coming to look at my brothers and I started my plan of attack. You see, I was supposed to go to live with another family, but I knew that my mommy needed me and this other family wouldn’t be a good family for me. I am not sure how I was going to know when my mommy got there because I hadn’t looked at this book that has all the faces, but I knew that something would tell me.

That evening, sure enough this little red machine thingy that my mommy and I get in to go places came to the house and I just knew that is was my forever mommy coming to get me. So, I told my brothers to run a little bit slower than me so that I could get to her first. When she got out of her machine I jumped into her arms and she gave me the biggest hug and then I think it started to rain because my fur got all wet (but nothing else around us was getting wet. Weird!! I am still trying to figure out how that happens, because my mommy has made it rain on just me a few times.) Anyway, I licked her face and sniffed her cheeks and wagged my tail as hard as I could. My first person came up to meet my new mommy and said, “Oh, I forgot to tell you, we do still have this one little girl left.” It was still raining and my mommy started talking to my first person and told her that she was already in love with me. My mommy stayed at my first person’s house for a LONG time, but I didn’t mind. I got lot’s of snuggle time with her. My mommy can talk a LOT and she talked to my first person about how her first puppy that had gone to doggie heaven and done the same thing I did when they met and so she KNEW that I was supposed to be her forever puppy.

So mommy took me home, but we stopped at this REALLY big store first and mommy bought me this awesomely soft bed and a beautiful princess collar and a lot of other things. That was two years ago and my mommy still tells everyone that she didn’t pick me, I picked her (Well, I DID!!). I love my mommy so much and I love to snuggle with her all the time and I KNOW that I picked the very best mommy ever!! Funny thing….I have’t seen that weird rain anymore. I think that is a good thing!!
