The hefty car door slammed, as my sister, Casey, and I treaded through the thick, fluorescent snow. My family and I had driven to our family friend’s house who had just returned home with their brand new puppy.
“Con hurry up, she’s adorable!” said Casey as my 6 year old self still struggled to get through the thick, powdery snow. There was no help from my parents or anyone because a dog is definitely more important than your own son. However, I eventually reached the front door and felt the wave of an unexplained emotion rush over me. It was a exempt of all tiredness, pain, or any problems I had in my six year old life. The sight of this newborn, golden retriever puppy, such a small, innocent animal brought so much delight with just one look.

Need. One.”
“You guys pretty much have another child! No thank you,” chuckled my mom with our neighbor. At this time, my sister and I knew that this was going to be a long journey. Like really, really long.
As the the flowers bloomed and weather warmed, Casey and my desires for a dog worsened. We had brought it up occasionally, but nothing to harsh, yet. I would go to school everyday, thinking about having my own furball to play with when I was home. After getting back from school I would walk past my mom in the useless laundry room, always wondering what she did in there that took her so long.
Every time she stepped out of that room, I would say, “How bout now,”with her already knowing what I was talking about since the question had been asked since winter. “Nope,” was the answer, that varied daily with tone

Filling the car, we just managed to fit it all in. When we got home, I showed Casey all the stuff we got, and showed her the monstrous cage we bought for the tiny puppy. It was kind of weird how we bought all this stuff, even though we were not totally sure we could get the dog. “Mom, we could just put the cage in the laundry room, that rooms pointless anyways.” I said, while slowly dragging the screeching crate across the tile floor. My mom was saying something but the crate was making too much noise, so I just

At the age of seven I was begging my parents to get me a puppy for about a year, the conversations usually sounded like this “ Hey mom and dad I was wondering if I could get a puppy this year for my birthday?” and they would reply “ I don’t know son a dog is a huge responsibility, I don’t know if you are ready for this yet.” then I would storm off all angry, because I did not get the answer I was looking or hoping for.…

    It was a balmy ten o’clock on a Saturday morning in June; the thick air around the Humane Society smelled vaguely of livestock. Stepping into the air-conditioned chill of the shelter, I took a breath, signed in to the volunteer portal, and took my place at the front desk. On this particular day the first people waiting were an older couple, and my heart sank when I saw them. The husband had a bundle in his arms, something wrapped in an old comforter, and I had worked the front desk long enough to know what that meant. Sure enough, as they approached, the blanket shifted and I saw, as I knew I would, the white muzzle and emaciated face of a dog in the decrepit last stages of old age.…
