This book is dedicated to my dogs , and to Layla Crawford, Ila Karnik, Annabelle Spinelli, Uncle Merrill, and to my parents, for making this book happen.

Hi! I'm Sasha a corgi/husky mix puppy.

I live a great life with my siblings. We LOVE playing, eating, adventuring, and eating…(did I say that already?) 

We are owned by an old woman, called Ms. Plump. She takes good care of us. She gives us food, water, a good place to sleep, and most of all, each other!

I love all my siblings but I am especially close to one, whose name is Coda. Coda and I do everything together. We dig up bones together, we hide bones together. Like I said we do everything together.

One day while Ms. Plump was away, and the other puppies were eating. (I really wanted to eat…) Coda and I smelled an unusual smell. A HUMAN, and not Ms. Plump. There was a FOR SALE sign on our crate…

FOR SALE

“We are not for sale, are we?” Coda asked.  She was shy, and/or happy, depending on her mood. Deep down I knew this was normal for puppies to be sold, but I wanted to adventure.

“We are for sale, and we are going to make the most of it!”, I announced. “We are going to get a new human, and we are going to teach her to do tricks!”, Coda said. “Umm…… I don't think humans learn that well.”, I said.

 ( From that moment I said I would stay up all of my sleep time, so that I could make sure none of my siblings got sold.) I stayed up when all of my siblings fell asleep….. When I woke Lila was GONE! JUST GONE!... She had been sold. We now have only 4 in our pup pack… Nimm, Jack, Coda, and I.

“Hurrble, murrble, jerble.” Ms. Plump said in an excited way that sounded a bit like the words: I think Coda and Sasha will be sold last… Even though Coda says she doesn't get how I made that connection.

Herble, murble, jerble

And then before anything else happened, a human showed up pointing at Nimm. She gave Ms. Plump some green stuff and took her.

 Only Jack, Coda, and I were left. Coda looked longingly at the gate. I knew why, she wanted to see the outside world. I did too but I did not want to leave Jack, or Coda. I don't want them to be sold for green stuff. 

Then something else happened so fast, another human. He pointed at Jack, and gave Ms. Plump more green stuff, and took him. He was gone…Only Coda, and I were left…we had to leave, and soon, or else we would be separated forever! Then somebody came, gave Ms. Plump a lot of green stuff, and took both of us. Not one, not the other one, both!
