Lumen's Origins and My Birthday

      It all starts in 2011, when we got Lumen in December, before my birthday. My parents got Lumen as a early birthday present. My birthday is on December 17. She is not our second foster but since it is close to my birthday I want to talk about her. Lumen was very young and loved to snuggle. And she was a fairly fast runner. But one bad thing, she was VERY VERY skinny. My mom said she could gain some weight. I nicknamed her "Skinny Dog."

She loved to snuggle

      Lumen had a severe case of separation anxiety. We put her in our crate. She busted it in a day. And she weighed about 30 pounds. She tore some bars and gnawed on the tray. But we made 1 grave mistake. We left Lumen out in the house and candy canes were on the middle of the table. Some how, while we were gone, Lumen climbed on the table and ate several of our candy canes, that were supposed to be for my birthday. She even gnawed on the box. She had colored poop for a day or two.

      Now I shall fast forward in time. December 15, I thought Lumen would be around for my birthday. I was wrong. We got a message that someone wanted Lumen so she was adopted on December 16, ONE DAY BEFORE my BIRTHDAY on Dec. 17! What a birthday present. I was bummed for a while but I got over it once my parents took me to have Chinese.

She liked my room

       I am also deeply saddened about the shooting at the elementary school. I wish all of the kids had a dog to comfort them. I am in elementary school now too. I'm not sure how safe I feel at school now but I know my prinicipal and teachers will help us.


She was so sweet when we were home
