I'm an Aussie. At least, my name says I am. I don't know if I really came form Australia. Probably not. Why can't I look it up on Ancestry.com? Well, for one I have no idea what that is. Secondly, I can't read, and I can't type. Why? Because I'm an Australian Shepherd. Yup, you heard me right. I'm a dog. I've heard humans say something like d-o-g. Another word for dog I guess. Others call me a "canine", a "hound", or a "woof woof". What's that supposed to mean anyway? Do humans think I say "woof woof"?
I'm getting off topic. I tend to do that. Like I was saying, I'm an Australian Shepherd. I'm a medium sized dog, not too big but not too small either. Just how I like it. People say I have "pendant ears", but I think I'm just happy having any ears at all. My eyes are very weird. I've looked into streams, and well- I have weird eyes! One is pale blue, one is pale amber-green. But that's not it! My right eye, the blue one, is only half blue. The other half is the same pale green color as my left eye. The cool thing is that I have perfectly normal eyesight! I like my eyes. They're different than every other dog's.
My fur is what humans call "blue merl". But since I doubt any of you know what that is, ( I know I don't! ) I'm basically white with close-knit spots of black, and I have one tan paw. I have an almost blue shine, and my fur is long. Really long. It gets matted up all the time.
Okay, I've told you what I look like. What about my name? Well, I'll tell you this: It rhymes with day. You haven't guessed yet? You can't figure it out? Fine, then! I'll tell you. My name is Saye. Weird name, I know. I didn't pick it though. My owners did. Actually, I think my first name was Lilly...A long, long time ago. I...I don't want to talk about it.
I've gone through a lot. And a lot is bad. You shouldn't hear. You wouldn't want too. No, trust me. No matter what you say you can't convince me. I've gone through horrible, horrible things. But...Since you ask. Since you ask with such a sincere look on your face...I will tell you.
But be warned. The tale you are about to hear is full of grief, pain, and most of all terror.
This is my story.
