Jayla is Loved

The sweet Mastiff overheard her owner say, “Where are we gonna take Jayla to?” She was hoping that they would take her to the park.

“What are these boxes for?” Jayla thought.

We were getting a new house. The owner of the dog was loading the truck with all the boxes. The owners and Jayla were leaving for the new house and Jayla was feeling excited. The owners drove a short distance and stopped at the animal shelter.

“Is this our new home? This doesn’t look like a home,” Jayla thought.

The owners walked Jayla inside the animal shelter. Jayla was sad and confused why she was at the animal shelter.

“What am I doing here? Take me back home with you!” Jayla shouted.

The worker at the animal shelter took Jayla back into the kennel. Jayla had her own kennel for two weeks to make sure she was trained so she didn’t hurt the other dogs. Every other day the workers at the animal shelter let Jayla out to play with another dog. Jayla and the other dog said their names so they would know each other. This dog’s name was Frappe. He was a German Shepard. Jayla was hiding from Frappe when she went outside to play. After Frappe got tired and was laying down, Jayla started to feel safe and started to play with him.

Jayla and the other dog started to be friends with each other. Jayla and her new friend were both set in the same kennel. Jayla and Frappe told each other where they came from. They got to go outside to play with each other in the warm weather. When the dogs were outside playing with each other the workers were cleaning their kennel. When the dogs came in, they ate some food and got a drink of their water.

A few days later the dogs were playing rough. When it was raining outside the workers let all the dogs outside to play for a little while. Jayla was not used to being out with all the dogs. She got scared because there were a lot of dogs. Jayla found the little doghouse in the corner so she went inside the dog house while the other dogs were running around. Jayla heard a storm hit and the building fell down. The roof fell in and the wind and rain came inside. There were several dogs inside yet, so Jayla went back inside to help all the other dogs get out of the building that fell down.

“Follow me. Let’s go find somewhere warm to stay!”

All of the dogs were running to follow her. Jayla found a store with a door open a little crack so she took all of the dogs in the store.

“Look at what I see. Do you guys see what I see? I found a lot of treats!”

The dogs jumped up on all of the shelves to get the treats on the top shelf. After the dogs ate all of the treats they got full and found the dog beds in the pet area so they pulled them off the shelves and lay in them.

The next day when the workers came in to open up their store the dogs were laying on the cash registers. The workers from the store took the dogs back to the animal shelter. When the dogs got back, the workers at the animal shelter were fixing the roof at their building. The workers did not know where all the dogs were until they came back.

The workers set the dogs in the cage outside while they were fixing the building. When the building was all fixed and the workers were putting the dogs inside, a group of people in their car drove by the animal shelter and turned around because they saw Jayla and liked that dog.

Karen and Edwin wanted to adopt Jayla. They went into the office and had to do paperwork. Jayla met her family and followed them to their car. After Jayla got to her new family’s place she noticed that she was back in her old house. This time the new owners had kids. Jayla was so happy that she got to play with the kids.

Her new owners had a swimming pool for their kids. After the kids were in the swimming pool, Jayla ran and jumped into the swimming pool. Karen and Edwin went to the store to get treats for Jayla. Before the kids went to bed they fed Jayla her treats. Jayla was licking the treats off the kid’s hands.

The next day their neighbors adopted a new dog too and Jayla got to meet the neighbor’s new dog. Jayla noticed that their neighbor’s new dog was her friend from the shelter. The owner’s kid forgot to shut the window at night so when they were all sleeping, Jayla snuck outside to go see her friend, Frappe.

When the owners woke up in the morning they were worried about where Jayla was. Jayla came inside with her friend.

“Where were you at Jayla?” Tracy asked.

“I went to the neighbor’s house to play,” I wanted to tell her. 

“How did you get out of the house?”

“The window was open so I went through it.”

Karen helped Jayla back home and she held her close and said, “Don’t sneak out! We love you and don’t want to lose you.”

When Karen and Edwin got done cooking lunch, Jayla followed everybody in the line to get food. When nobody was in front of Jayla she jumped on the stove and made the pan fall on the floor so she could eat the food with her family. Her new owners didn’t even get mad at her. They just cleaned up the mess. They loved her no matter what.

Edwin took Jayla to the dog park and Jayla was happy because she got to go play at the dog park. When Jayla was done playing at the dog park she was muddy because she tore the grass up. Jayla was also dripping wet because it started to rain when she was playing in the mud. Edwin was glad that he drove his truck to the dog park so he could put Jayla in the tailgate, but he also wasn’t mad that she got muddy. He loved her no matter what. 

When Edwin got Jayla home, he had to give her a bath to get clean. Jayla did not like baths. Karen and Edwin were struggling to get her in the bathtub. Jayla had hope that when somebody loved her, she would feel safe and be comfortable and she did. Jayla relaxed and let her new owners give her a bath.

Jayla loved her new family. She loved her new house. Edwin and Karen loved their new animal too and no matter what Jayla did that caused trouble, they loved her no matter what. What more can anyone hope for.
