We drove to a place that seemed very familiar to me. Mom said it was where my friend Rain and I were born.
Mom and Dad would not let me get out of the truck and they parked behind something very large so I couldn't see where they were.
I sniffed really hard and I could smell other dogs. I think one of them was my fur dad Alex. He is a big and strong and I wanted to go see him.
Then I looked out the side window and I could see this tiny little thing in a cage. That tiny little thing kind of looked like a squirrel but it didn't smell like any squirrel we have around our home.
I have a very bad feeling. I can hear Mom and Dad talking and laughing but I can't see them. Wait!!!! The thing in the cage has disappeared! Where did IT go???
My human dad came back to the truck with my very first human mom. I gave her a kiss because she is very nice and took really good care of me when I was a baby. She also made sure I found the best mom in the world.
Speaking of Mom, where is she???
Here she comes. Whew! I was very worried about her.
She is getting in back in the truck but something is very strange. She is getting in backward so I can't see her. What is she doing? I think she is holding something and it smells weird. Like really weird.
Mom turned around and held up that thing that looks like a squirrel!
WHAT IS THIS!!!
This is NOT funny 😤
Mom asked me if I want to smell IT. NO!! I don't want to smell it!!!

I am not exactly sure what is going on or why that thing is in my truck. Is this what a BABY BROTHER is??? If it is they can just take it back!
I am not happy and I am not speaking to Mom. In fact, I am not even looking at her and I am staying as far away from her as I can. She already told me I am not getting to meet my friend Rain and now THIS. 
We are back at the room that Mom sprayed with stinky stuff. Mom set that thing down on the floor and told me I have to be really careful not to hurt IT or scare IT
It's the next morning and we are headed home. We are taking IT with us.
This baby brother thing is not exactly what I thought IT was going to be. Mom was so excited that I thought for sure IT was a new ball or a giant stick.
Nope, it turns out that IT is fuzz on legs.
And IT bites and IT keeps touching me.
Doesn't IT know that I am a Princess and you don't touch Princesses? You only look at them and tell them how pretty they are.
Oh and IT stinks. Mom keeps getting all giddy saying "aww puppy breath" but I think it smells worse than my poop.
I have to admit I WAS pouty and I told Mom to take IT right back where she got IT!
Did I mention that IT keeps TOUCHING me???
AND the screaming. I don't mean crying or whimpering, I am talking full-blown screaming. IT screamed all the way home unless IT was touching me. AND IT touched me for thirteen long hours.
When we finally got home Dad said he was sleeping in the basement until Mom "broke IT". I don't understand what took her so long. IT screamed for an eternity. Like a WHOLE 10 MINUTES!
I was getting ready to break it myself. I was so exhausted after that long disappointing truck ride.
I almost went in the basement with Dad but then suddenly IT got very quiet.
The next morning mom was in her bathroom getting ready for her day and IT was nowhere to be found.
Mom gave me my ear massages and head scratchies and belly rubs and butt scratches and tail smoothies. She told me how much she loves me and what a good girl I am. I gave Mom lots and lots of kisses all over her face.
But then Mom went into her bedroom to the den where she had put IT the night before. She opened the door and IT was still here!!!
I thought IT was gone. 😤
Mom took us outside and something amazing happened. IT barked at me and asked me to play with HIM.
HE started chasing me and HE let me play keep away with my stick. I had so much fun with HIM.
So I told Mom if she really really wants to keep HIM we can and I will protect HIM until he grows up big and strong.
