ADOPTING A DOG

I’m so excited! Today is the day, my parents finally let me pick any new pet from the pet store around the corner. Every time when I used to walk to school and back to my home sweet home. I use to watch the animals through the window glass of the side of the pet store dying to have a cute little adorable animal so I can play with and have fun, and always have company that actually makes me feel better when i’m down. But My parents always said ” A pet would have to be taken care of by a person who is right for the job, a person who has a lot of responsibility.” Of course, it would take a lot of responsibility i’m a responsible person that’s for sure.

Well a nice pretty girl like Santanna here I’m guessing she should get a cute little dog, I would want one if I was her. Dogs are really smart that’s why the military uses them cops and even people who can’t see .” Crystal says and my mother glances at me, to see what I think about this. “I think it’s a great idea, I would love to adopt a dog.” I say while nodding my head.

“Ok then, follow me to the back of the shop and you can pick out what kind of dog you want to adopt today.” Crystal is saying as she starts walking to back of the shop. I’m so happy nothing can bring me down at this moment. My mom holds my hand from running in front of Crystal.

I see a blue door with a lock on it. Crystal takes out a ring full of copper keys, and picks the shortest one out and puts it in the lock and turns the key to the left. When it opens Crystal pulls the door open with the palm of her hand, holding the door wide open for me and my mother.

We walk in and see fences with a bunch of cute dogs jumping all around each other. Then I see it a cute huskie it’s kinda big but adorable and it’s looking at me with those clear crystal blue eyes that makes me all happy

    When she found out she was shocked, “the reason it was deeded to the veterinary students was that the barn had bats and we were the only ones guaranteed to have a rabies vaccination” (Vogelsang 45). Near the end of the story when Jessica is explaining what happened to their deceased family dog, her young children misunderstand her message that their dog went to Heaven; her son said, “She’s going to Kevin” (Vogelsang 308). This simple statement brings light to the topic of their beloved pet’s passing. I sincerely recommend this memoir to everyone, especially animal lovers. Anyone who has ever had a pet will understand the wonderful messages in the story.…

    George Saunders’ “Puppy” and Toni Morrison’s “Recitatif” tell of two different stories with different characters in presumably different time periods. Both authors have drastically different backgrounds that bring them to these tales. However, their works of literature are more comparable than one would initially think. From the perspective of the reader, the intent of Puppy was to stress that there is often more to something than meets the eye and that because of this, we tend to want for things that we do not really understand. The families that appear in this story are perceived differently on the surface than they actually are underneath everything.…

I kept my eyes open for dogs that would be fun to walk after our orientation. And out of the corner of my eye I saw a ghost of a dog.…
