Stardust
“I had begged for one. Begged, and anyone who has been around children when they are hell bent on getting something, knows exactly how it can be. Children chip away at will and sanity when they really want to get something, and I wanted that puppy bad.
I did the good grades, the chores…all of it. I worked really hard to convince my parents that I was mature enough to care for another being. So, after weeks of trying, crying, writing notes and resorting to begging…they gave in and I got him. ...I got Charlie.
Charlie was a good dog, saved from the local pound, obviously dropped off in a litter and if I had any real skill I would have saved all five, but I didn’t know that saving Charlie was actually not the best thing that could have happened for him. How could I? I was a kid.
So we brought Charlie home and at first, it was awesome. He barked and played, won the family over with his big brown eyes and floppy tail.MoreLess
