Featured Angel: Cherry
 My
name is Cherry and this is my story. I can’t remember where I was
born, but I remember my mom took good care of my sisters and I. She
always fed us and she loved us so much. But one day, she didn’t come
back. One by one, my sisters all left until I was alone. I had to
venture out on my own. The ally was so scary, but I found a nice
lady who was putting some trash out. I could smell food and I was so
hungry. She brought me food every night and I would wait for her at
that back door. It was so cold out, but the man who lived there said
I couldn’t come inside. I would curl up by the light in the yard to
keep warm until it went out. I don’t know how it happened, but my
belly started to grow. I know there are babies in there and I need
to take care of them like my mom took care of us. As long as the
kind lady who keeps bringing me food comes every night, everything
will be ok. It was a nice warm day when I saw the kind lady the last
time. She was saying goodbye. She said they were moving somewhere,
but the man said I couldn’t come with them. Her face was salty and
wet when she held me up to kiss me goodbye. I don’t understand.
The next day, a new family moved
into the house. I am so excited, I can’t wait to meet the new lady.
I hope she will be as nice as the first lady and bring me the tasty
food. My babies are so hungry. Oh! Here comes someone! The door
opened. Oh no! This big dog is running right to me and he looks very
scary! I don’t know why the man at the door is laughing! I had
better run, but my babies make my belly so full, I can’t go fast. It
hurts so much. The mean dog bit down on my head. I can’t see, but I
have to get away, I’ve got to save my babies! I must keep running.
I’m not sure how I got here, but I
woke up in this new place. At least I can feel all my babies are ok.
The pain in my eye seems to be less. A nice man just opened my cage
and put some food down. I think I’m going to be ok. He stops and
writes a note on the card outside my cage. He puts a big red “E” on
it. I hope that means something good. Its getting late now and I can
feel the babies want to come out. But, I can’t. This isn’t a safe
place. I can hear dogs barking just a few feet away. What if they
are mean like that other dog? I know I should let them come out, but
it isn’t safe! I heard the man who brought me the food talking to
someone. He said they would “have to put me to sleep after the
weekend”. I am tired. Maybe I should go to sleep.
But, now the man put me in a
carrier and said I’m going home to Little Orphan Angels. I don’t
know what that means, but I’m so scared for my babies. They have
been wanting to come out for days now, but I can’t let them. The
nice people brought me to a home. It is so much more quiet here. I
think this is a good place to let my babies come out. I will push
and try. Something must be wrong. It has been so long and my babies
won’t come out. I’m trying so hard, but I’m getting so tired. The
people here look so worried about me. The lady and the man said they
need to take me to the hospital. She looks so scared. At the
hospital, I
 hear
them saying I need to have a C-Section. I don’t know what that
means, but the man seems worried because it is so expensive. They
kissed me good bye. They’re faces are wet and salty too. The nurse
lady took me to the back and said it would be ok. She gave me some
kind of medicine and I’m getting so sleepy. I try to tell her to
please take care of my babies. …
I opened my eyes. My belly isn’t
full anymore. My babies are gone! Where are they??! Oh! I hear some
crying and meowing. There they are! Oh, my babies!! But, one isn’t
moving. What happened? I fell back to sleep. Our Sweet Cherry Has
Been Through So Much! Can you give her a FOREVER home??? |
