1. By: Sandy Tullar
Hi from Kramer. So much has happened and
so much has changed for me.On a cold,sun
shining day my life changed in the blink of an
eye.
I now live in a place called Heaven and it is so
beautiful here.I have met many people that I
knew from my life before. My Gramma De
Sander takes care of me for my mom who still
misses me so much.I saw my GrandpaTullar
and he was so happy to see me, but he was
also sad because he knew that something bad
had to happen for me to be here and he was
sad for my mom and my boss.I visit with him
as much as I can cause I love how he just pets
and pets me.He is feeling better now and he
does not shake the way that he did.That is a
good thing.
There are rules here that I do not like but I
have to obey. I can not chase other animals.
My favorite thing to do at home was to chase
my deer out of my yard.I never hurt them,I
just liked to chase them.I also learned that I
am a dog,and that I was a very spoiled dog.
My mom never told me that I was a dog,but
sometimes I wondered about things.
I am adjusting here now.Everyone gets along
and no one fights and argues or hurts other
people.That is a nice thing but why could not
people be like that before they come here,if
they come here. Mean bad people go some-
place else,at least that is what my Gramma D
told me.
IwatchmymomalotcauseImissher.Shegot
another dog and her name is Jasmine but
mom calls her Jazz or Jazzie.She is a pretty lit-
tle thing and she makes mom happy and I am
glad cause mom was sad for along time.I wish
that I could talk to Jasmine and tell her things
like how lucky she is to have my mom for her
new mom.
I met another dog that I really like.Her name
is Irish and she kinda looks like me but she is
a red color and a lot smaller than me so I can-
not play too rough with her. She had a very
bad life cause her family was mean to her and
didnottakecareofher.Wespendalotoftime
together and sometimes she watches my
mom with me. We tell each other stories
about before and she even met my Gramma D
and my Grandpa Tullar. She thinks that they
are wonderful and they both like Irish too.
It is time to go play some more.Bye for now
from Kramer...
