One day I was snooping around the basement. I smelled something unusual and went over to investigate. I found a small package filled with something that smelled so delicious. "WOW," I thought, "Free treats!" and I gobbled it up right away. Little did I know that I had just devoured some deadly rat poison!
Slowly over the next few days I started to feel really tired. I had no energy to play with my mom or sister. I mean, I know that I sleep a lot, but I'm not that lazy! Finally, when I couldn't even stand up, they noticed. Then I think they took me to the vet, but I was feeling so awful that everything was a blur. They stuck me with a lot of needles and then they couldn't get me to stop bleeding! I was feeling pretty miserable when my mom came to take me to the . . . hospital.
Yes my friends, you read me right! I was headed to the hospital and little did I know that things would get a lot worse before they got better. The doctor greeted me with a heavy face and told my mom that I might die! I have no memory of the next few days but I heard later that they had to give me a complete blood transfusion! I almost didn't make it.
By about the fifth day I finally began to feel better. The day after that, my mom and sister came to take me home!!! I was ecstatic to see them. I thought that they had left me for dead! Now I know that they would never do that in a million years! I came home on June 5, 2006, my 1st birthday! My life was the best birthday present I ever received!
I heard that they had to pay the doctors a lot of money. I sometimes think about how many treats that could have bought me. But I guess that my life is more important.
