Reese

Reese had came into the world. A toy yorkie without a permanent home. He was there with his brothers and sisters, but he knew that soon he would be leaving and finding his permanent home

Six weeks later, Reese was laying there and he began to hear voices from the other room. "Oh, no, it is time for me to leave my family. This isn't fair, my other brothers and sisters are still here. Why do they want me, why do I have to leave?

Brenda and her loving children, Breaunna and Khloe had entered into the living room where Reese was.

"Are they taking me? Am I the puppy that this family wants. Those two girls sure are gorgeous. I wonder if they will hold me and love me? The mother will she be good to me or will they just ignore me once I leave my home?

Reese had mixed feelings. He wasn't sure if he wanted to leave or not. "If I don't go with this family, I know that sooner or later, some family will want me. Well, I think that them girls sure are cute and they are laughing.

"Oh, no, here they come towards me. I know what that will mean. They are going to hold me, and rub my belly and act like they really want me, but do they?

"We want this one, Mom said,. Breaunna and Khloe was so excited they were getting a new member of the family.

"Bubby and sissy, I have to go with this family, but I promise if they are mean to me, I will be back. I will not be mistreated."

As they carried Reese to the car, he knew that his new life was just getting started. "Wow, look at this car they are driving. They look rich. I will make them love me and that way I will get anything I want from this family".

We drove and drove. "My goodness they live far off, There is no way I could run away and come back home it is just to far for me to remember where I am at. I am just going to have to make them love me. I will good at that.

As they finally reached the town where they lived, Brenda had to stop and get Reese some food and of course, a bed to sleep in. After purchasing the supplies, they drove home

Reese came into the house and decided to take a tour of where he was at. "This house is great, I will love it here. I can't believe they stopped and got me my own bed, said Reese.

"Ken, look how cute my new puppy is." "Boy, look at that old grouch. He will probably kick me and yell at me all the time. He didn't even smile at me. He just told Brenda that he hated dogs in the house. Well, before it is over with I will have him doing what I want him to do." said Reese.

"Here they come, taking turns, picking me up telling me just how cute I am. Boy, have I got them wrapped already around my finger. But they all love me so I don't know which one I should like the most. I know I will play with all of them, that way I can really have my way with them. I wish they would stop picking me up they are so excited they are bathing me with the spit. Hey, guys I may be small, but you are wetting me with your mouth as you speak, and wow, somebody needs to brush their teeth. I thought my breath was bad but boy you take the lead on bad breath.?

Brenda and the girls just couldn't get over just how cute Reese was. He was going to be a really small puppy. Matter of fact, he is so small that my feet are gigger than his whole body.

"Bedtime, mom said. Well, she expects me to sleep in that bed that they stopped and bought me, but I have different plans. Mom lays in her recliner with a huge soft blanket on her that reaches the floor. I will hook her first. As Brenda stretched her blanket out and it touched the floor, I crawled over and laid at the foot of the blanket. Maybe I will get lucky and get to sleep with her."

Awe. look at Reese he has crawled up beside of me and is laying on the blanket. "Hey, Reese do you want to sleep up here in my recliner with me? It will be wonderful if you do.

"Boy, I already have her hooked. I get to sleep with her tonight. As they say, If momma ain't happy then nobody is. So I am going to make momma happy tonight. I am doing great. Hook the oldest one first and the rest will follow"

Boy this is so comfortable and warm. Reese laid and slept with Brenda that first night. Brenda was already hooked on this beautiful little Yorkie puppy.

The days came and went and as I began to grow a little bigger. My total weight became 3.5 pounds. The girls, Breaunna and Khloe are hooked on me too. They let me sleep with them too. I am doiong so good with this family.

Here comes the youngest of the family, Kendra. "Quit teasing me. I hate that. Just because I am small don't mean you can bully me. Stop, stop, I hate that. OK I will show you.

Bark, Bark. She still won't stop. Should I snap at her or will they get rid of me?

"Stop, Kendra. stop teasing him. He don't like that. If you don't quit he is going to bite you. He has already growled at you several times, so if he bites you it is your fault and not his. You know he doesn' t like that."

"OK, mom, here I go. {Snap, Snap}.

"Mom, Reese bit me. " Kendra said in tears. "Well, that is what you get, I told you to leave him alone and you wouldn't do it. So now you know, to leave him alone when he growls at you."

"Thanks, mom. I heard you tell her I was going to bite her so I did. Now I know I can stay because you took up for me."

As Reese grew use to the family especially Breaunna and Khloe, he began sleeping in the room at times. They became very attached to Reese. He was like a member of the family.

"Now for my next accomplishment. Watch this, I will get each of them to rub my belly. I love my belly being rubbed.

"Come here, Reese, you're momma's baby. come here."

I am going to fix her. Watch this. OK momma, I am flat on my back. My legs are all spread out and I am close enough for you to touch me. Come on, rub this belly of mine. I know you want to."

"Awe, come a little closer, Reese and momma will rub your belly."

"See I told you I would get my way. OK let me move a little closer. There, now I am close enough. Rub my belly, momma. OOOO, oooooo, OOOO, now that feels really good. Wait a minute she is picking me up. Now I am on my back lying in her lap. WOW, she is rubbing my belly while I lay here. i think I will lay here for awhile. There you go, keep it up, it is feeling great. Boy I have got her hooked. After about 10 minutes, I better roll on my back. I know now I can come back anytime and momma will rub my back.

Girls it is time to eat. Come on in here and get it.

Now all I have to do is follow them in the kitchen, and I am sure they will feel sorry for me and give me some food.

Yes, he comes momma she is cutting my meat in small pieces and putting it in my food bowl. I better wait a few minutes so she won't think I am too pushy. Boy that taste good. Thanks mom.

Reese from that day on began to eat table food. Every time we eat he ate. Mom would even fry Reese a piece of sausage. Now I get the good food instead of that old dry dog food in a bag.

Here comes the girls, Breaunna and Khloe. "Hey let's play ball. Throw it and I will fetch it. Then you can give me one of those snacks that momma bought.

Breaunna throwed the ball, and I fetched it back to her. I will keep playing with her. He comes Khloe I bet she will notice how good I am doing by fetching the ball. Khloe is going to get me a snack for doing good.

"Reese, come here I am going to give you a snack treat since you are doing so good. Reese is my baby. My doggy. No, Breaunna is arguing and telling Khloe that I am here puppy. Listen, there is momma telling them both that I am her baby. Boy I have really got them hooked on me.

Tonight I am going to sleep in the girls' room. They love me so I am spending my night with them tonight. Goodnight.

"Breaunna, Khloe, Kendra, girls get up it is time for school."

Now I am really going to make the girls love me even more. They will sneak me snacks this early.

Here comes momma. I will show her not to bother the girls while they are sleeping. {Bark, Bark, Bark} "Reese, quit barking at me, those girls have got to get up for school. {Bark, Bark, Bark} "Hush, Reese. Girls get up

I think I impressed the girls. I will protect them. They love me so I have to keep them close to me.

Well, the girls went to school. Now momma will make me go outside to use the bathroom

Reese goes onto the porch and pees on the covers of both our grills on the porch. He then goes in the yard to poop.

"Oh, you did so good Reese. Let me give you a snack. A treat. Momma is so proud of you.

"Here comes Ken out of the bedroom. I have to soften him up. I will have him rubbing my belly too. Now watch me"

I am right beside of Ken's feet looking up at him. "Hey pick me up. Come on I know you really want to. Give it a try."

Here he goes, he is picking me up. Now I am in his recliner. Wow, there he goes, he is rubbing my belly. Boy, this feels so good. So very good. Thanks Ken. I knew you really liked me more than you will admit."

Momma went and got a towel. Wonder what she is planning on doing. Here she comes. She picked me up.

"Oh, no, not a bath. I hate a bath. "Come on Reese, let's get you cleaned up before the girls get home.

"Take the bath yourself, momma, I don't want one." I know you hate to bath Reese, but you have to smell good for the girls when they come home."

Well, I'd better take this bath or I will get on the bad side of momma. I sure don't want to do that.

Here I go into the bath. OK Momma go ahead and scrub my back and belly. It sure feels good.

The bath is finally over. I will roll in the floor to finish drying myself off. Here she comes again. "Reese, let me comb out your hair." She picks me up and begins brushing my hair out. I am so glad this is all over.

I heard them talking about vacation. They are going to the beach. i hope they don't leave me behind.

OK Reese I hope you can take a long car ride. I am taking you with us on vacation.

We loaded up the car, and we headed to Myrtle Beach. I can't believe this family loves me this much. Wow, they take me everywhere they go.

A week at the beach was fun but now it is time to go home. So we rode another 9 hours to get home.

"Christmas time. Now all the family is gathering around. There are alot of them. But I must be on my best behavior. Here they come and guess what they all want to pick me up and love on me. I feel like a toy. They are all passing me from one another.

"Oh, no, whose kids are these boys. Quit, I hate you teasing me. Momma can I bite them too. OH no, she is putting me in the bedroom so I won't bite. I can't wait until this holiday is over so I can run around freely in the house.

"Hey, how cool is this? Breaunna has her hair in a bun on the top of her head and she is laying on the floor. I want some attention. I will go and jump on her bun. Here goes. Boy, this is fun and it feels great. Lay still Breaunna. I love your bun."

"Get off of her Reese and quit that." Boy, momma is upset. I will try it again. "Reese I told you to get off of her bun and I mean it. Stop it."

"Now momma why should I quit something that feels good? You all have let me do whatever I want to do. But I guess I had better stop because I am really really making Momma mad. OK I am finished. I have stopped."

"I love living in my new home. My entire family loves me and I get away with just about everything."

When I want a snack all I have to do is what they ask me to do. Sometimes I get tired of having to obey just to get my snack, but after all they are a great family.

"Bark, Reese" {Bark, Bark} Here's you a snack. "Sit, Reese, sit" {Reese sits} "Here's you another snack for sitting." "Lay, Reese, lay" {Reese lays} "Good, good boy Reese, here is another snack.

So you see, it isn't hard to do what is expected of you. But the greatest part of living with my family is I can speak and they understand me because love comes from the heart and you can't replace that.

Words aren't always spoken to be heard, but spoken because of the love you share between each other.
