Daisys Midnight Adventure


My name is Daisy and I am a beautiful standard chin. I was born to Anjela of Crystal Chinchillas.

One day, I was given to a new owner who loved my soft fur and my full rounded body. She also liked my neighbour, a beige male called Donald. I like him as well, he was quite handsome, for a beige. I was quite sad about leaving my sisters and mummy Anjela, but I decided to make the most of my new situation. Donald and I were placed in a box, which meant we had to cuddle up to each other. It was very romantic, but just as things started to
get interesting between us, we were lifted up and for the next two hours things were very
noisy and we kept on being jiggled about. It was quite scary. I learnt later that we had been in a car!


When we arrived at our new home, we were put in a huge house! There was so much room, that I was too scared to do anything at first. After a while, I got up the courage to explore. It was wonderful. It had a separate bedroom and lots of shelves for jumping off and on. Donald was so happy that he was jumping so much, he missed the highest shelf and fell on to the
floor with a big bang! Luckily he was ok.
We soon settled in and it wasn’t long before we were expecting kits. I had an easy delivery and Donald was really pleased to be a father. We had 2 beautiful babies, a girl with my beautiful colouring and a boy just like his dad.
 
Unfortunately, this being my first litter, I was having problems coping and Donald was no help at all! Mummy Alison took Donald away to give me a rest. Really, it was like having 3 kits! With him gone, I could get on with the job of bringing up my babies. They grew quickly and soon it was time for them to leave home. Donald came back and life returned to normal.

One night, after Mummy Alison had cleaned our cage, we noticed that she hadn’t locked the door properly. This was so exciting! We had seen outside our cage through the wire, but now was our chance to go out and explore! We pushed open the door and took our first sniff of freedom. We crept out, and explored the open space in front of us. Suddenly something got me! It was big and hairy! It was the big dog monster! It picked me up in her mouth, I was so frightened, that all my beautiful fur fell out! Suddenly, I was really outside. This was somewhere I had never seen before. It was colder than indoors and there was snow on the ground. The dog monster laid me on the ground. I was too scared to run away. I just laid there. I was wet, cold and naked!

Mummy Alison must have heard something, as it wasn’t long before she found me. She wrapped me up in a towel and gently rubbed me until I was dry. Eventually I was put back in my house where Donald was waiting for me. He was worried about me and stayed cuddled up to me for the rest of the night to help keep me warm. He didn’t mind that mind that I was bald, and my fur soon grew back as beautiful as ever.

But I can tell you something, I shall never ever go exploring outside my cage again!!
