Elthie's Story: Found in a Box

You think I was always this fabulous?

Okay, I was. But it started badly.

One freezing December night, someone left me in a cardboard box.

I was three months old. Sick. Tiny. Still adorable, obviously.

Then she found me. My mom. She took me home.

I never told her this... but she saved my life.

I am not crying. You are.

Later, she brought home a man. I did not approve. I watched him. I judged him daily.

Now he is my best friend in the whole world. I love him so much. Do not tell him.
