Dear diary,

This is my very first entry.

I was born in Narre Warren, Victoria, Australia. I had 3 sisters and a brother. I was eating a lot of cauliflower leaves and muesli. I don’t remember much about it.

One morning, my sister and I were put into a plastic carry box filled with hay. We didn’t know what was going on. We were scared. A stack of cauliflower leaves were shoved into the box, and that was the last time we saw that place.

After a while we arrived to what turned out to be our new home. We were on our best behaviour.

The new hoomans seemed nice, they gave us new foods to try and lots of clean water. The air even smelled different and there weren’t as many noises.

We were given names; Cotton for my sister, and me, Buttons.
