Oddball's Entry
    6/29/07

   Today was a great day! A girl came to the kennels and began looking at the breeds. Then she kept looking at the Dalmations over and over, but she couldn't seem to like any of them, because she kept looking at different ones. Eventually, she began looking at just me. I didn't notice at first, but I think she saw when the other dogs were leaving me out. I'm good with families, but sometimes I get lonely, so I go to the other Dalmations to play. The problem is, they play with each other, and when I try to go near them, they get mad or ignore me. Well, they did.
  She adopted me and brought me home. She called me Oddball, after the dog in 102 Dalmations, because of how I'm left out and I don't have spots on my back and tail. She gave me food and water, then we went for a walk. She let me do whatever I want, and didnt make me get up and keep walking when I sat down to rest. I made friends with Chantal's Yorkshire Terrier, Maggie. I was sad to leave her, but I think I'll see her again later, and maybe even make more friends on my next walk! I also found a present, that my owner showed me. It was just laying in the path, and I passed right by it! I got a rubber bone, and I can't wait to play with it! 
  I arrived at a little place with obstacles set up. I guess you can practice for contests there. I didn't, because my owner left. She said something about her being afraid my personality would change because it would be putting her through too much. I wouldn't care, though. 
  I got home, and my owner went to the store and got me a big supply of food and water. She tried to give me some food, but I was full still, so she put it back. Then she gave me water, which I happily drank. I wanted to play with her, but she left, so I rested. I hope she comes back soon!
