I made some of this story on the old NKC. =) Saquire is pronounced Say-kwire. ;) Here's what I've done so far:
Chapter 1:Best Friends
"Hey Saquire, wanna play?" said Sammy, an alaskan klee kai puppy.
"Sure!" Her friend, Saquire answered, also an Alaskam Klee Kai puppy. They began nibbling each other and jumping on each other playfully. They played a lot everyday. Sammy had 4 Alaskan Klee Klai siblings. Saquire was just a pupfrom the street who' s mother died and he couldnt live without her, so he was taken in and Sammy' s mom was like a mom to him. All the Alaskan Klee Kais lived in house with a very nice breeder as an owner. They loved their home so much.
"Saquire, Sammy, time for bed!" the pups mother called. As their owner wnet up to her bed, the pups cuddled with their mom. Saquire cuddled with Sammy, like he did every night. They were best friends, and hoped they would never be seperated.
Chapter 2: Saquire' s Gone!!!
In the morning, Sammy woke up feeling a little odd. She got up and stretched out yawning. "Saquire, let' s go have some breakfast from Mommy!" Sammy said. The other pups and Sammy' s mom was asleep. When Sammy didnt hear an answer from Saquire, she looked at his spot. He wasnt there! "Saquire!?! Where are you?!?" Sammy panicked. She looked around but couldnt find him! She ran to her mom and nuzzked her trying to wake her up. "Mom, Saquire' s gone!!!!!"Sammy said crying. Finally, Sammy' s mom, Emma, woke up. "He' s gone? What happened, Sammy?!?" Emma also panicked. "I dont know! I woke up but he wasnt there!" Sammy said Through her tears, then she colapsed into her mother' s fur, crying. "Stay right here Sammy!" Emma said after a while, picking Sammy up in her jaws and puutting her on th floor gently. Then Emma ran up the stairs into her owner, Janice' s bedroom. Emma barked and barked, and finally woke up Janice. "What is it, girl? Whats wrong?" Janice asked, worried. Emma continued baking and led Janice don the stairs to the other pups. Janice looked around, a little confused. She picked up Sammy and noticed tears were coming from her tny eyes, and her eyes were pink. Janice realized what had happened.
Chapter 3: Failure of Posters
Emma sat down whimpering in front of her. Janice droppwed down and hugged Emma crying. "Dont worry, we'll try to find him." Janice said. The other pups woke up and Sammy told them what happened. they were shocked, then they watched Emma and Janice. Janice got up and said, " Im gonna go make posters with Saquire' s picture on them!" Janice said running upstairs. aammy walked over and sat down beside her mom. "Do you think someone will find him?" she asked. "I hope someone does. But sometimes, dogs just wanna move on, and be on their own, but thy dont know how to tell their friends, so they just disappear, Sammy, and they want to leave and you just gotta let them go."Emma said. "Are you saying Saquire ran away because he just wanted to move on and go somewhere else but didnt know how to tell me so he just disappeared?" Sammy asked. "Thats just what I'm saying, Sammy. And i know its awful." replied Emma, but something in Sammy' s heart couldnt get herto believe that that was the reason for Saquire's disappearence. At that moment Janice came down the stairs and said "I have no pictures of Saquire." Sammmy' s heart dropped even more. "We'll go searching for him." Janice added. She got Emma on a leash, and went out the door, leaving all her other alaskan klee kais, including the pups at home.
Chapter 4: I wouldn't! I couldn't! Could I?
All the pups-but sammy-played and cuddled with each other. Sammy sat down whimpering. She kept thinking about Saquire, and if Emma and Janice had found any trace of him. She was so anxious for them to be back, and hoped they would come back with little Saquire, but she had a feeling they wouldnt, she did not think Saquire ran away, or just went outside and got lost, she didnt know what happened to him, but she knew he did not leave the house purposely. She lay down on the shiny wooden floor, and wiped her tears away as she stopped crying. She thought for a long while. I'm the only one who can get saquire back, I know it. But they won't let me go look. She thought. I COULD run away to find him.... I wouldn't! I couldn't. could I? She did not know what to do. She laid her head on her paws, and thought.
******************************
About half an hour later, Emma and Janice came home-without Saquire.
"Mom, where's Saquire???" Sammy asked, worried and disappointed.
"We couldn't find it, dear. Janice even asked around, but no luck, im sorry." Emma answered sadly.
By then, the other pups were all asleep, but Sammy had been waiting for Janice and her mtoher. Janice patted Sammy's head gently.
"I'm sorry, girl. I'm so sorry." Janice said, about to cry.
Sammy laid down on her side, and cried. She felt so lonely, like she was all alone in a dark, cold chamber. Her mother lay down next to her, and licked her, trying ot make her feel better. But all Sammy did was blink and cry. Then she slowly went to sleep.
The next morning, Sammy woke up. She looked around for Saquire, thinking everything was all a nightmare. Then she realized it was all real, and began to whimper and cry. Emma was awake already, and so were the other pups. They were having breakfast from their mom.
"Come and have your breakfast, dear." Emma called to Sammy.
"I'm not hungry, but I suppose I will." Sammy said, terribly sad.
She walked over, and thought again about running away......
Chapter 5: A Decision to Make
After breakfast, Sammy trotted to a little corner and dropped onto the ground. She sulked and thought. She thought about Saquire and made a decision. She loved her friend, and she was going to go looking for him. She would escape that night, when everyone else was asleep. She would bring her bandana and coat with her. After thinking about this, she went to make sure she knew where everything was. Emma came up to her and asked how she felt.
"I've moved on, Mom. If Saquire wishes, he'll come back. He knows his way home." Sammy replied.
Emma smiled at how strong her pup was. Sammy, however, had lied because she didn't want her mom worrying about her. She thought about her wonderful home and family the rest of the day, in case she never came back to it.
That night, Sammy put on her coat and bandana and quietly snuck out the doggy door.
"Bye, Mom. Bye, Janice. Bye, Dad. Bye, wonderful home." Sammy whispered. Then she sighed and ran down the block.
Chapter 6: The Beginning
Now Sammy was trying to get her home outta sight before the dogs found out she was gone. Then it struck her. Where was Saquire? She had no clue, so where would she look first? What would she do? No idea. So luckily, Sammy snuck into a nice,big backyard with a big, empty doghouse that she crawled into and fell asleep in. In the morning, Sammy awoke to a deep growling sound. It sounded loud, as if the object making that noise was right in front of her.
"What is that noise?" Sammy grumbled as she awoke.
When she fully opened her eyes, she saw a big, bulky dog baring its big canine teeth. Sammy jumped and the dog snapped with a loud bark. "Help!!" she barked over and over.
"Who are you?" the big dog said, but poor Sammy just kept shaking.
"I said, 'who are you?'" he snapped again. There was no reply.
"Tell me now!" he demanded.
"S-S-Sammy," Sammy finally said in a soft voice.
"Well I couldn't sleep all night because of you! I have no idea who you are or what you're doing here, but scram!"
"S-s-sure, sir, I'll be on my way now,"
"Good!"
And with that, she ran out the fence. The questions of what to do once again buzzed around in her head. The she saw a dog much like herself but bigger walking with a very sad owner... it was her mother and Janice calling Sammy's name! Suddenly, her mom, Emma, caught a glimpse of Samy and barked over and over again. Then Janice saw Sammy, too, and rushed over.
Chapter 7: The Collar
"OMG!OMG!OMG!" Sammy thought over and over.
Then she did what first came to her mind-RUN! She fled as fast as she could. She ran around everyone and looked like a fuzzy blur and everyone that saw stared at her in disbelief and confusion. Janice let Emma off her leash to chase Sammy while Janice followed close behind as they raced after her. The dogs chased blocks down the city down allies and streets. Then, as they were going down an alley, Sammy looked to see if her mom could see her from she was and turned into a dead end. She squeezed her collar off her neck and held it in her mouth. Then she hid behind a garbage can and watched her mom pass and followed after her. Sammy barked ferociously and Emma turned around.
Sammy sat down and waited for Emma to come to her.
"Sammy, why are you here?!?" Emma shouted.
"Who are you?! Why are you chasing me!?!" Sammy replied.
"I'm your mother! Don't talk to me like that!"
"What!?! I was looking for something in an alley and I found this pink collar with rhinestones that I'm bringing to my mom. Sure it has some dog's ID tag but who cares? Me and my mom's a stray, she'll love it! Well anyways, you ain't my mom, I'm going to see my mom right now!"
"Oh," Emma said, sounding stunned,"I'm terribly sorry. May I see the collar?"
"Sure."
Emma looked at the collar. It read Sammy's name and address. Then Emma cried and cried as she went home. Chapter 8: Without a CollarSammy sighed of relief. She breathed hard. She breathed so hard it sounded like 2 people were breathing. Then a net fell on top of Sammy's body! A strange girl picked her up and looked if she had a collar-a dogcatcher!! Ofcourse, Sammy no longer did have a collar. sammy bit the girl's hand. "Its ok, girl. You'll be alright." she said. Then she threw sammy into the back of the car. The back was seperated from the 2 seats in the front and hadonly 3 windows. 1 window at the left, right and in the door. The windows had nothing on them except thick black bars. This room had a lonely feeling to it.There was another dog in the room. "Are you scared, too?" the light brown and white corgi said. "Y-y-yeah."Sammy said"We'll be alright, don't worry. By the way, I'm Darla.""I'm sammy," Then thecar stopped at a big house and the dog catcher took Sammy out and dropped her off at the house. Sammy barked and barked but that changed nothing. Then the dogcatcher kept driving with Darla.Chapter 9: Snapped ShutThe dog catcher went to the animal shelter and dropped Darla off in a cage. Then she rushed home and went inside. Sammy was still there. She whimpered and the dogcatcher got her some food. Sammy bit her when she tried to pet her. The dog catcher got a muzzle and put it on Sammy. Sammy whimpered and whined but she couldnt bark. The dogcatcher went to bed and left the muzzle on Sammy. Sammy couldnt drink water or eat food with the muzzle on and she culdnt pant when she was too hot either. Sammy began feeling sick. she had a headache and she felt like the walls were closed in on her. Then she fell to the ground and didnt move or breathe.In the mroning the dog catcher whos name was Millie found Sammy and didnt know what to do. She had snuck Sammy home to keep her instead of taking her to the shelter because she figured out Sammy was purebredso she couldnt take her to the pound for treatment. Millie rushed Sammy to the vet and took off her muzzle. The vet got Sammy treatment by giving her lots of medicines and shots."Why doesnt your dog have a tag or collar?" the vet said."Because she's uhh.. new and I didnt get a chance." Millie lied."Why didnt you buy at least a collar when you bought her? And how did she pass out if shes so new?""Because I found her and I guess shes sick or something." The vet didnt believe her and when Sammy was better he took her to the shelter. Sammy didn't like being behind bars. There were other mean dogs there that growled at her except for one right next to her."Hi, i'm Daisy." the dog said."I-I'm Sammy.""Cool, I heard why your in here. I got caught on the streets with an Alaskan Klee Klai kinda like you. His name was Sabe or something like that...""Sayquire?""Yeah thats it! Saquire!"Chapter 11"Where is Sayquire? Is he here?" Sammy asked"No, he escaped and ran off into the street and then the catchers took me away so i didn't see what happened.""Oh... Do you think he was....hit?""No because I didn't hear tires screetch or anything like that."Just then, Sammy was going to keep talking with her new friend when a man opened her cage and pulled her out. She bit their hand as hard as she could. The man dropped her then ran after her. Sammy was now inches from the door. She'd make it!! Then a girl picked her up with loves on. Sammy tried to bite but it did nothing since she had gloves. The girl went into a room that said "Laboratory/Injections" and placed Sammy in a cage. The only dogs around her were extremely vicious ones, sick ones, and depressed ones that wouldn't eat or drink. Then sammy heard yelping and whimpering. She looked up and there was a dog getting a shot. After the shot the dog got droopy and laid down. He closed his eyes and stopped breathing."He's gone."the man that gave the shot said to another girl.Then the man came to Sammy's cage. Sammy whimpered and squished in the back corner and whimpered. She was scared and had no idea of what to do."This is it," she whispered to herself. "I'm gonna die."Chapter 12: Life and DeathIt was hopeless for Sammy. She couldnt try to get away, theyd catch her and shed be tortured even more. Shed just have to get it over with."I'm sorry I couldn't find you in time, Saquire.I really am." She thought to herself. It wasnt fear that shadowed her, it was guilt. The man picked up Sammy and put her on the table. Sammy laid down and sank her head in her paws."This dog must be sick anyway. We're just putting her outta her misery," the man said to the girl. But to Sammy they were putting her into her misery. She closed her eyes and felt a poke. Then her head was spinning. It was going faster and faster. Memories of her and Saquire's friendship flashed in her head as it spun around. Tears rolld don her fur. Then the spinning stopped. It was like her whole body shut off. She opened her eyes. Everything was bright and it looked like she was on a cloud. Then a dog came. She was a beautiful husky. A big white glow surrounded her as she walked."I am the spirit of Life. I give chances. Everything is going to be okay. " She said. Then Sammy fekt like she shut off again and dropped her head down and fell again in a deep sleep that she knew she'd never wake up from.Chapter 13Sammy awoke again. This time she was back on the table on her side. Her ribs were in pain and so was her heart. She took a big breath and the terible pains immediately went away. It was the breath of life. She was alive again. But how? Then Sammy remembered the spirit of Life. It wasn't time for me to go. Sammy thought, This is another reason why I just have to save Saquire."I can't believe she's alive!" the man said. Then he looked at the shot. "Hey, I'm positive I got the right shot but I guess I got the tranquilizer. A pretty bad one, too. Let's just find her a home. She's been through too much."Sammy knew that the man was positive he got the right shot because he did, and the Spirit of Life just set that up. She was relieved and thankful.The girl in the room put Sammy into a cage with the other dogs to be adopted again. She looked at her neighbor. It was Darla from the dog catcher's car!Chapter 14: Ashes and Flames"Darla!!!" Sammy said to the white and tan corgi. She told her everything that happened when Darla got driven off."Woah, pup, slow down there! You're the pup from the car,eh? I got transfered to this shelter or pound, as i call it, because they had no luck finding me a home over at the other shelter. They said they'd put me to sleep but wanted to give me a chance so took me here. I don't how fas you or me are gonna find a home, but theres a 10 percent chance we gonna be in the sam household, ok? So don't get all used to me so quick." Darla replied, tense. "I'm sorry, I just have nobody here. And you're right, I'm sorry. I just wanted someone to talk to and understand me but I chose the wrong dog." Sammy sighed. She laid down and cried. She had to find Saquire soon. She just had to. She drifted off into a long, deep sleep."Wake up, Sammy! Wake up!" Darla said sounding terrified. "Darla?" Sammy said adjusting her eyes to the light as she got up."Good you're awake! We have to do something!" Darla said with watery eyes."What's wrong?" Sammy said, feeling warmth against her face. It felt like the heater was on for once."There's a fire! Everywhere! We have to get out or we'll burn! The other dogs are out but I stayed back fr you! I'm sorry about yesterday!""It's fine! Now let's get out!"Darla was already out and she got Sammy out, too. They ran through the flames as fast as they coul. Their paws and hthe skin under their fur was burning. They couldn't see anything. Both dogs suddenly felt cold air against their cheek. and realized the exit was right next to them. They ran out side by side."We make a great team, Sammy." Darla said weakly."We sure do."Then both dogs, breathing heavily, collapsed onto the ground with their eyes closed.Chapter 15: A True Hero There were many vets already there since it was the shelter that had a fire. The dogs woke up with shots in their paws putting water into their bodies. They had passed out from the flames and smoke and had burns on their skin and some of their fur was burned off in spots. Their bodies ached from the burns and vets were applying special ointment for dogs on them. It made their skin burn, but that meant it was helping clean it. Sammy heard people saying that the fire was caused because the pipes were really rusty and dry because they never used the AC or heater and when they turned the heater on it caused a big fire throughout the old shelter. Sammy looked at where the shelter was. All she saw was bricks and cement and other things the building was made of on the ground. The whole place burned down. There were cats and dogs everywhere around her getting vet treatment and there were also people with masks on and ambulances rushing people to the hospital with sirens on. News crews rushed over to talk about what happened and capture video of the building remains and animals and people. What were news crews coming for at a time like this? We're all hurt! Sammy thought, realizing how it feels for the people on TV while news crews are reporting incidents. She was thankful her new friend, Darla, was alive. Then it occured to Sammy. "You risked your life for me. You stayed behind and woke me up. Thank you so much." Sammy said crying with joy. Chapter 16: A Sudden Thought"What do ya mean? You're my friend! And not only that, my first friend! My loyal friend! I'll risk anything for you! I'm sorry about last night," Darla said. "Are you kidding, you saved me. You're my only friend. Well, besides Saquire." Sammy said, her words drifting off."Saquire? Who's that?" Sammy told Darla about everything."I'll help you search for him when we're.."Darla said. She stopped as a thought came to her mind."What?""Sammy, I just realized something. what are they gonna do with us? Are they gonna find us a new home? It's not like they'll just let us go!""Then we'll have to do something ourselves,"Before Darla could ask any questions Sammy jerked forward off the mat she was on, and the shot came out of her paw.Chapter 17: Only the Beginning of a long Adventure Sammy howled in pain and felt dizzy for a few seconds. Then the pain and dizziness just went away and Sammy went to Darla."Are you okay?" Darla said."Yeah, I feel fine. Now let me help you out!" Sammy replied. Sammy was careful taking the shot out so Darla wouldn't have the same pain she did wen the shot came out. It still hurt Darla, but barely. Darla and Sammy rushed off. They heard shouting behind them but they kept going. They ran into the woods and stopped deep in it. They laid down, tired."What do we do now? Where do we look for Saquire?" Darla panted. Sammy sat up quickly."I have no idea."And thaat's all for now! =)
