Leaving Home

A breathe of cold air....

It was November 9th, 2004, 7 days prior to birthday when my owner and I arrived at JFK international airport, I was tucked away in my mommys vest so besides my heritary and involuntary automatic shakes when im in the public, it did not occur to me what a real "shiver" was until at one point,when my mommy had to gather her luggage, and set me down.. brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr my paws received a chill my puerto rican born puppy butt has never felt but only once or twice when mommy took me to her job at the hotel..it was cold there.. but she worked alone so she snuck me in there to hang out with her at wee hours of the night..however, that chill, was not like that airconditioning chill... i wasnt sure where i was... i had a sense of travel when i was curled up in my mommys lap on a real loud noisey traveling capsule.. it didnt have much space for ppl to walk or for me to sniff around.. but the smells were all so different.. anyhooch, it wasnt until then when my mommy finally got her luggage, picked me up, and started walking to another section,, i heard on the phone.. where you at? what part? well , my mommy finally figured where she had to wait, and it was just outside an automatic door. WHOA..... when we stood there.. looking for our ride to our new home,,, this chill.... sure wasnt tropical..... the smellls.... oh my... my bones shivered.. my snout tried up for a second.. i lifted my head in the air.... oh my.. where am I... ?? I then heard a car sound and a scream coming from my auntie (i knew her already she came to puerto rico a few times to visit..she is nuts.. and i love her alot) to my suprise.... A B UDDY...
auntie brought her miniature pinscher.. "spike" along.. he was one abnoxious dog... (that story will come soon) Thank God my auntie brought me my own and first cable knit sweater and put it on me while my mommy was loading up the other traveling capsule.. that one alot smaller and a lot less noisy... WELCOME TO NY...rrrrrrrrrrrrr... when the traveling device stopped,, the door opened.. and OMG.. a familiar smelllll....THE BEACH.. we live by another beach now.. although it isnt blue.. or green .. and hot,, i feel smell some climate changes in the air..and perhaps things will look up... besides.. i never liked the ocean anyway,, but i doooo looooove the sand.. its so soft under my paws.... and all the things you can sniff at.... I cant say i dont miss Puerto Rico, but im sure my mommy will make me happy no matter where we live, i do miss my buddy "blondie" grandmas dog.. and grandma and my auntie esther... xoooxoxoxox
