Personal Narrative-The Time I Got My Dog
The Time I Got My Dog

It was late one summer night, long past my bedtime. The moon was so bright it lit up the yard. Somewhere down the river a freighter honked. I got up and looked out the window. It was so foggy I couldn’t see.

I laid in my bed, wondering if anyone was up. So I crept down the stairs, and I saw a light. I heard voices. Then I saw my mom and dad.

They were on the computer. I saw pictures of English Mastiffs on the screen. My heart leaped. “Were getting a dog?” I asked excitedly. “Were thinking about it” they replied, but they are all the way in Ohio.” “Now go back to bed, it’s late,” my mom said. So I went back upstairs and went to bed.

All night I couldn't sleep. I tossed and turned. What if the dog I pick

    The splashes of the freezing spillway mixed with the cold wind coming off the water sent chills down my back. I yawned, the loud purr of the tugboat next to us made it impossible to hear my uncle ask if I was tired. We were passing the train of barges right after we left the launch and were headed into the woods. I have done all this before. It was all familiar to me. The only difference was that I had never been out here this early. The eerie white light of the moon was the only thing that let us see right now. Luckily for us the moon was huge and full tonight. It was about 4:30 in the morning and we were speeding into the swamps of the spillway. I looked at my uncle and I saw him standing up, driving the boat, with a smile on his face. This was his job and he loved it. When you love the wilderness, being out in the woods for eight hours a day was a treat. Especially when it ended with picking up a paycheck of about a thousand dollars at the end of each of those days.…

    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.…

    It was a perfectly normal Saturday night, until I sat on the couch. I expected to enjoy a funny movie with my dad, but instead I got a trip to the hospital. I sat on the couch, and then I felt a sting in my elbow. At first, it felt like I got a shot at the doctor, but it slowly got worse, and felt more like a knife slicing into my elbow. I winced and sprung up from the couch. I squinted and my eyes scanned the spot where I just sat down. Aha, I thought. There was a small piece of plastic, and it looked like it broke off from a container.…
