Personal Narrative-I Want To Gain A Dog
Ever since I was young, wanting to get a dog was something I hoped and dreamed about. Around the time of 2010 majority of my friends had dogs. Many days I thought to myself, “How come I cannot have something that brought me so much joy and happiness?”. My father was always exceedingly accepting and admirable, but when it came to dogs, he became adamant. On the other hand, my mother was exceptionally persevering and kind-hearted and when it came to dogs, my mother was jubilant. During that time, I could be classified as needy and impatient. Overall, I was remarkably eager to get a dog and I knew convincing my father would take plenty of time and patience. Convincing my father that I would successfully take care of a dog was more strenuous

    My dad has taught and encouraged me to try new things. He encouraged me to go out for cross country my eighth and i ended up liking it alot. He also encouraged me to try some foods that i've never had. They ended up being really tasty. What makes him so encouraging is that he doesn't force me to do it. He also kinda cons me in with his corny word choice. This is one reason why my…

    If I have one piece of advice for dog owners out there, it's to remember this quote on dogs and appreciate all they do for us in their life. They don't ask for much - some food, some water, some walks, some love... but they give you everything they have in return. Make some time for them each day before you have no time left with…

    When I was in first grade, my mother finally relented and bought my sister a dog, a tiny, black Cockapoo puppy she named “Pepper”. Allison had wanted one for a long time and her pleas were duly noted after she tried to bring our cousin’s dog back to Maryland with us. The tantrum on the way home when her plans failed was the tipping point. A year passes and my mother loves Pepper so much so she wants another dog. There was an unspoken agreement that this second dog would be mine. A day's trip back to the breeder in Virginia and we learned there weren’t many Cockapoo puppies left to choose from. My parents idea to get a white one and name it “Salt” were, understandably, put on hold. Nevertheless, I examined the few puppies left and choose one…

    No more click of his paws against the hardwood floor. Or the sound of his bellowing bark and pounding of his paws whenever someone rang the doorbell. Now whenever someone knocks on the door I wait, I wait for him to pounce toward the door and then I realize no, there won't be anymore of that, because he's gone. I can still remember the day it ended.…

    Max was my best friend. He was a very lively golden retriever with a golden brown body and a white chest. My father got the dog before I was born, and just when he meets my mom. I remember feeding him table scraps and my mom getting mad because he shouldn’t have table scraps. When I was 3 years old he would snuggle with me before I went to bed, but after I got a bunk bed then he would just sleep on the floor of my room. My sister didn’t really get to see him much because he was still a baby when he had to be put down.…

    I woke up the next morning from our hotel door opening. My family had came back from eating breakfast. I had food crumbs all over my old self. My stomach rumbled. I was so hungry. My mom noticed and grabbed some dog food from our closet. She put it in the bowl and sadly I snarfed it down. After I eating and drinking some water, I went out onto the patio with the book,“My Dog and Me”, in my mouth. I don’t remember whom the author was but I thought it was an excellent read. I was reading how they were driving their car when my mom came onto the patio and saw me reading and took the book out of my mouth and…

    Here we go! It’s time for our trip and I’m so excited. I scamper to the car because I remember what Jan has told me. Service dogs must do everything they are told. Even though I am only a puppy, I want to be a service dog like my uncle someday. Service dogs help people who cannot do important things. Some help people who cannot see well to travel safely. Others help people who cannot move well to manage things like opening doors or turning on lights. Service dogs do very important work for people with disabilities!…

    The first step of getting my dog began we went to the rescue to take dogs out on walks which I really wanted to do. While we were there I saw on a flyer, my soon to be dog without knowing it, a dog as cute as a baby bunny. It turns out, I was not old enough to walk the dogs, which was like emotionally being hit by a truck. I had to just walk while my mom walked the dogs, which was okay. My mom got more involved with the rescue, and one day while I was at school she was washing dogs, and the dog from the flyer was scared and ducked…

    I received a call from my son’s uncle, Harold asking if I would give him a ride to a friend’s house to examine some pit bull puppies she had for sale. At first I had planned other activities for the day, but my daughter who overheard the conversation begged me to go. I made the plans to pick him up and as we were getting ready to leave, I reminded my daughter that we were not going for us. I had owned dogs in years past, and after the last one was stolen out of my yard, decided it was too painful to own a dog. Also, I had heard all the horror stories of people having pit bulls around their kids. When we arrived at my friend, Courtney’s house, I heard the deep barking from inside. My friend motioned for us to wait at the front door as she put…

    I look back when I received my first puppy, It occurs the day of my tenth birthday. I didn’t expect a puppy at all because I knew that my parents didn’t desire animals. When I showed up home from my birthday dinner I arrived through the back door furthermore I observed a box with balloons that I couldn’t really tell what it was until I glanced and it was a puppy. The reason that I asked for a puppy was because I’ve always loved animals for as much as I was a toddler. He greets me when I show up home from school and he begs me when he wishes for a treat, I don’t know what I would do without my soul mate.
