The dog diary - Madison M. (read ebook pdf TXT) 📗

Hi I am hope. I am a dog. My lovely human is Lizze. She has kidney cancer. Her dad left her once she was born. Her mom passed away a few years ago. She has not yet been adopted, but I hope she will be. She found me a few years back when I was begging for food from her mom. She loved me ever since. The doctors have been treating her cancer for two years. The doctors are so nice to let me inside to stay with Lizzie. Now that you know a lot about Lizzie and me, let's start the book.

"Hope!" Lizzie yelled. I came over and jumped on the bed she was on. "Hey buddy. Where have you been?" I licked her face and lightly jumped on her chest. She smiled and said "Hey stop that." Dr. Ron came in holding a cotton ball, alcohol, and a shot. "Lizzie it's time for you daily shot. I know it's not the best part of your day, but I have a surprise for you after." She didn't scream when she got the shot because she got used to it over the years. "What's the surprise can I see can I see!" She cried in excitement. Dr. Ron picked her up and brought her to a man and a woman holding each other's hands. "Oh honey. I think that's her!" She said very happily. "I am Kristie and this is my husband, George." The husband looked at Lizze and smiled. "Nice to meet you. We can't wait to adopt you." Lizzie looked very happy and hugged George and Kristie. "I am Lizzie and this I'm dog, Hope." The couple looked at her and said "We live in a n apartment. We don't have much money. When we have enough money we will adopt you and we will move to a house." Lizzie's smile faded a little. "Oh well come back soon please. Please adopt me soon please." They hugged her and left. Lizzie went back into her room and cried. I jumped on her and licked her face. She didn't smile. Dr. Ron came in and checked her weight. She was 42 pounds. He checked her temperature. She had a fever of 105. She was weak and very light. She payed down and she slowly fell asleep. Later in the night she woke up.  She saw me one her bed and let me. "Do you ever wander what it feels like to have a family? To not have ccer? I do. That's all I dream about. I only wake up because sometimes I think it's real." I looked at her trying to say I am your family, but of course she didn't understand. She stood up and walked around the hallways of the Hospital. She looked Inside one door and she a little three year old boy, sleeping with a teddy bear. He looked like he had a fever. She went back in her room and I jumped back on her bed. In the morning Dr. Ron came in for her daily shots. "I can't wait for you to get better. Then you can go home with your family." He said. "I don't have a home nor a family.  I'll never get better and you know that." Lizzie said. "Lizzie, if I knew you were never going to get better, I would never give you shots. You deserve a family and that's what you will get." He hugged her and later gave her the shot. I could sense that she was sad about not getting adopted though she tried not to cry. I licked her face and this time she smiled. Dr. Nicole came in and gave Lizzie water, apple sauce, a banana, and two vitamin gummies. She said thank you and ate it all. Thst was normally her breakfast. The last thing she would always eat were the vitamins. She loved them. Dr. Ron and Dr. Nicole left the room so, it was just Lizzie and I. She pet me and told me about the plces her and her mom when. "When I was about four, my mom and I went to a place called London. It was cold and it was lightly snowing. I can still remember the day when we first gor there. My grandma lived in London so she let us in her house. My mother and I went in the front yard and we saw a bird. It kept coming closer and closer until it touched my hand. My mom pet it and a few minutes later, it flew away. Every time we went to the front yard, the bird was there. One day my mom caught it a kept it a s a pet. We loved that bird. Sometimes I would let him go outside to fly and he would always come back. I hope my mom will come back." A tear fell from her eye and soon came two tears. She layed on my and pet my golden fur. I layed there for about a hour or so until she stopped crying. I lifted my head as I smelt a new scent. It smelt like dog treats and purfume. Soon a woman walked in and saw Lizzie. She walked to her and said, "I am Sarah. I am new and I am a nurse. I heard you have cancer so I got you this. She handed her a teddy bear and I sniffed it. She walked out and Lizzie fell asleep. When I was sure she was asleep, I jumped down off her bed and walked around the hallways. I smelled shots, chemicals, and doctors. I followed the scent of food and I found a whole glass container of food. I poked my nose through the glass opening and I grabbed a big piece of meat. I ate it all and looked for more food. I poked my nose deep inside and found a boul of dog food. I grabbed it and I tried to eat it, but it had an invisible barrier that smelt like plastic. I ripped it open and ate all the food. It was almost sun rise so I went back to Lizzie and I fell asleep. I didn't wake up early like I usually do because I was so tired. When I did wake up, I didn't see Lizzie. She was gone. I ran everywhere looking for her until I caught her scent. She was outside. With Dr. Ron, a man, and a woman. 

 Lizzie was talking on a small machine on her ear and she said, " Hello. Are you my dad? Well then why did you leave me and now you want me back. Well just for a week then I'm going back." She took the machine off of her ear and gave it to Dr. Ron. She pet me and kissed me on my forehead. "I'll be back soon." She said. She left in a car I tried to come in with her but she wouldn't let me. In frustration I cried. Dr. Ron put me on a leash and brought me back in the hospital. That night I didn't eat nor did I sleep. Dr. Ron sat next to me the whole time petting me until he fell asleep. Did my girl leave me? I wonder when and if she would come back. I walked around the hospital with Dr. Ron as he treated patients. I went in on room that had a little boy. Yelled, "doggie!" And I came to him. He stroked my fur and I jumped on his bed. "His name is Hope." Dr. Ron said. A day after, lots of doctors came in and the were scared. I followed them and I saw a girl. It was Lizzie. They said that she would be ok and she and her former dad got into a car crash. Her  dad died, but Lizzie thankfully lived. They did lots of surgeries on her and later she was better. I jumped on her and she lightly stroked my fur. I licked her hand and she laughed. One week later Lizzie was back to normal. Almost every day Lizzie was rushed in and out of the hospital. When she was gone, I would visit the kids in the hospital and sneak some food from the kitchen. When Lizzie came back, she ran to me and hugged me. I wagged my tail and licked her face.  She laughed and ran to Dr. Ron. He picked her up and spun around. I sensed Lizzie was happy with Dr. Ron and she wanted him as her dad. He smiled and put her down. He said, "Let's get you some food." They walked to the kitchen and got a pizza. He bent down and noticed the missing fruit cup from the fridge. He looked at me and I wagged my tail. Was I a good dog? He laughed and pet me. I jumped on him and licked his face. Lizzie put me on a leash and walked me outside. I saw lots of cars moving and squirrels climbing trees. I jumped and clawed at the tree trying to get the squirrels. They were teasing me by shaking their tails at me. Lizzie loved squirrels. She would bend down outside and feed them nuts. They don't even do anything. They hate me so I would think Lizzie would stick up for me. "You guys are so cute." She said. I barked to tell the squirrels to get down from the tree, but they didn't listen. Lozzie walked farther and she sat down on a hill. I say down next to her while she scrached my ears. We sat and stayed there for a while, looking at the people at a park. Soon after, we got up and stroled down the park. I saw little kids playing and hanging on monkey bars. Lizzie said for my to stay. I sat on the edge of the sidwalk, w aching Lizzie run around on the park and making new friends. She was talking to a boy about her age and I sat up. My fur stood up because I could sense she liked him. There was no
