The Day Arrives


From the moment the day dawned, Samuel pug knew it was going to be different. The lack of breakfast had been a distinct giveaway.

Barri and I had been waiting for this day. It was the culmination of endless anticipation, imagining and saving. Tips had been stockpiled and ISA's plundered. Numerous obstacles had set us back, yet after five years of unwavering patience, Samuel was finally coming home.

He was bound to be scared. Who wouldn't be? He was leaving behind his mother, his father, his sister and friends; all the familiarity he had ever known. We were prepared for this. Soft and squeaky toys had been purchased, along with beds and blankets, bowls and brushes. Everything was ready and waiting for his arrival. The only thing missing was the Pug himself.
