The Next Step in my life-story

A few days later, Mark took me on my own to his lounge and proceeded to point his camera at me and speak in a baby voice. My heart jumped as he said, this is a video for your new mum and she is going to call you Gertie.

Blimey bunch “Gertie” I wasn’t sure about that name but Mark said I would get used to it. So I bounded about in the video doing my best burrowing in the hope that she would adore me and come soon.

The weeks dragged by and I heard “Silent Night” so unlike three of my Brothers-my first Christmas wasn’t spent in a new home. My sister told me that she was staying with Mark, I felt so unloved and put the preverancial treatment down to the fact that she had two ears.

I wondered if the lady that seemed to like me even with only one ear, would ever return. I needed a Mum that wouldn’t hurt me unlike my birth Mother who bit my ear off and caused me a lot of pain. I might be physiologically damaged.

Auld Lang Syne rang out and I wished for a happy new year and the very next day I felt my wish coming true, Mark put me in the bath, which made me very suspicious, he said Gertie a few times and I jumped to a million conclusions, but only One was right.
