She was scared, a little nervous, but excited all at the same time. The home smelled of moth balls and Avon perfume. She walked slowly through the hall, hand in hand with her mom, all the way to the backyard. Here she saw it. Small, black and full of dirt. It was the runt of the group, soon to be known as Pepper Theresia. The black cocker spaniel puppy ran to her feet and rapidly licked her now dirt ridden keds.
All around puppies were yelping and she could hear her father in the distance discussing prices with the old lady. Shari’s sisters were talking amongst each other. The eldest, then 16, wanted to name the puppy Mercedes, the youngest, then 6, thought Barbie was a better fit. Shari thought Blackie was a good name but all of them were wrong because later on her mom chose the name Pepper.
She walked to where her dad was standing, in the grass near a big doghouse with chipped red paint. He gave her a hug but she quickly let go to play with the dog inside the chipped doghouse. Inside was the puppy’s mom, a white cocker spaniel. She kneeled in the uncut green and brown grass and started to play with the big white dog.
Her mom and her dad started to talk amongst themselves and they walked inside with the old lady. Shari walked back to runt and didn’t want to let go and for a minute she had to. The old lady walked up to her with tears falling down her eyes, grabbed the runt and said “good-bye Aliana, be a good puppy.” August 3, 1993 was the best day of Shari’s life, the day she got her first puppy.
