Personal Narrative: My Affenpinser Pet

Improved Essays
My Affenpinscher Experience Let me start off by saying that this dog has done wonders for my family. It has been one of the most happy and amazing aspects about our lives. I live with my wife and my beautiful 9 year old daughter and we own a Affenpinscher puppy named Skip. A little over a year and a half ago we owned a Yorkshire Terrier that I’ve owned for 13 years. The terriers name was Sasha. Sasha was a companion to my wife, my daughter, and myself for many years, so as you can imagine this was an incredibly hard loss for my family to deal with when she died of Bronchitis among several other complications. However, with the introduction of our amazing new puppy, Skip, our family has recovered from the loss of our dear friend so much easier. This dog has brought life and happiness back into our home and I will forever be in deep gratitude to this dog for helping us heal. Throughout this article I will be …show more content…
I’m not sure what it is about him. It could be his goofy smile, his crooked and out jutting lower teeth, it could be his small size combatting with his incredibly large ego. Whatever it is this dog has it.
I told my daughter the one day that another term for Skippy’s breed was “the monkey dog” because of its unique facial features. Well, she thought this was just hilarious so she now has the habit of nicknaming the dog monkey.
This dog has just been an over all blessing and an incredible step forward for our family. We love our little Skip, and he never ceases to amuse us.
In conclusion, this dog has had incredible benefits for me. I find that I get up and exercise so much more when I have a dog to take care of. Additionally, I feel less stressed and more relaxed. When I come home from a hard days work, Skip always puts a smile on my face just by watching his eccentric antics. My daughter also feels this same way, I mean honestly, Skip works better than giving her chocolate if she’s having a bad
