Once there was a little princess whose name was Darbie. She had a sister named Zena...but this story isn't about her all that much. One day Darbie's mom got a computer...and that was just fine with Darbie....then. Then Darbie started noticing how her mom stayed on this "computer thingie" all the time. At any rate--it started to make her very MAD!!!! She did not like it when her mother ignored her for more than 5 minutes at a time. So, little Darbie came up with a plan. Which was,"If mom is gonna be on this thing all the time, then I must make it fun for me!" So, she did. She barked and howled at her mother on one side of the chair--THEN--as soon as her mom could catch her she went to the other side. It definitely caught her mother's attention to say the least. It also made her mother mad--but that is another story. When Darbie got hit and killed I was very upset--it happened two days before her first birthday. But I reflect back on her silly games, and where they used to make me sad--they now make me a little happy. Her big sister is still here and okay--although she misses Darbie greatly--as do I. All pets tend to do their own thing, and each owner thinks they are great...and each owner is right--they are all great! I could tell better stories of little Miss Darbie, but that is my favorite,,,I just thank you for reading it.
