“When I first opened my eyes to this world, I was surrounded by my mother and 5 siblings. There were two big and two small humans too, who were very caring and loving to my mother and all of us puppies. I loved them!

Then when I was two months, I was sent to some other humans and then some other. I wanted to play with them. They didn’t understand. I wanted to cuddle them. They didn’t understand. I kept changing places. I got itchy and sick too.

Then Bourbon Mulik offered to take me to her home, and assured me that her mother will find me my soulmate. Her mother, Shvetz, got me up and running, again. She kissed and cuddled me and I got to run with many of my kind. I felt loved and wanted for the first time. She told me to be patient. My soulmate is there somewhere and she promised to find her for me.

Then one day Simran visited. It was love at first bite ( pun intended). It was more than a DDLJ moment! She picked me up and she smelled of all the nice things I love. She was so warm and she kissed me so much. She took me to the beach. I was playing in the sea water. I rolled in the sand. She laughed in glee. I made her happy ! That made me ecstatic. I made so many new friends. I just loved being with her.

Then she told me we would be together forever. And I know I have found my soulmate in her!
