It all started when my boy and I were walking in a woods behind his grandparents home in the country. Since we’d been chasing and exploring for about an hour, I got really thirsty. I sniffed the smell of water and rushed off. What I found was a small trickle of ice cold water coming from between some rocks. I took a deep drink. I’ve had lots creek water before but this was different, very different….

As the years passed, I noticed something very strange. My boy grew and became a man. His parents aged and complained of aches and pains. My other canine friends came and went, but I continued to feel as young and spry as I always had.

As the years passed, my boy’s parents grew older and older and eventually passed to the next life. Even my boy who had become a man with a family grew and aged, but I never did.

I’m sorry to say that my boy began to look at me as some kind of freak. I had no choice but to leave and make it on my own.

By chance I made my way to the same woods as I had so many years ago. I found that very same creek with everything exactly the same. Nothing that had been there before had grown or had died. When I drank again from that spring water I instantly knew that I’d found the secret. It was eternal life giving water.

Over the years I’ve made my way into many many families but always have to leave when they realize that I’m different. That I am a freak, that I must move on-forever……..
