Cuppa, my little devil!

My little Cuppa
Cuppa was my best friend. She was the only thing in the world that made me smile. I remember when we first got her, we were at a Chinese dog shop and she was in the window. Cuppa was a toy poodle with coffee-brown hair and a mischievous look in her eyes. This pup was really meant to be a person!
She sang, walked on her hind legs (record: 38 metres) and I swear she understood English! She could do her tricks too - play dead, sit, down, roll over, walk, dance, hop and beg - in Chinese and English! She was a rarity - I bet all owners say that, but she really was.
I'm just 12 years old and I haven't seen her in two years. We gave her to a Chinese family and they taught her new tricks and fed her French lamb cutlets with garlic sauce! I cried for 8-9 months after I left her. Just imagine losing that little bundle of happiness forever and never getting it back - your heart breaks in two. She was just wonderful … I miss her ...
