Personal Narrative: Cocker Spaniel

Improved Essays
About two or three years ago, we got a dog. This wasn't a normal dog, he was a rescue dog that we got from the shelter at Klemme. When I first saw him I was super excited because we haven't had a dog like him before. His name is Spots and he is a Cocker Spaniel. As soon as we got him home he was super friendly and really loving but, he needed a bath. After the bath I took him on a walk to kind of bond with him, he was always right by my side and never took off or barked as soon as he had seen a squirrel or other dog. I knew that he was going to be a great dog.
This dog, now named Spots is a lazy dog that loves to go outside and go on walks because he was in a kennel almost his whole life. He watches tv and snores, that's just about all he does.

After that he hasn't barked at anything other than when the doorbell rings, but he doesn't do that anymore. It was about 1-2 years until we noticed him being sad which was unlike him. So my parents decided to get another dog without telling me or my sister. My dad went and got the dog right before picking me up at school. When I got into the car after school, I saw his sweatshirt start to move, which was weird because he was wearing that sweatshirt. All of a sudden I see my dad grow a second head but this head was a puppy head. The dog was in his shirt to stay warm i’m guessing, but it was really weird. We went to the store and he left me alone with this month old puppy that I didn't even know so I started petting her and she was really nice and gave a bunch of kisses. Later that night when we got home we decided a name for this new puppy and that name was

    Every morning he would walk my mom to the garage when she went to go exercise. When I would come home from school, he would meet me as I got out of my truck, greeting me with bites and whines about how much he missed me while I was away. Camo was not one to lick. Instead, he would lightly bite to show his affection. His favorite things to play with, ever since he was a puppy, were leaves.…

    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…

    I have always had a love for animals since I was a boy. I can remember wanting a dog my entire life and my parents telling me “No” because of the huge responsibility of owning a pet. I can appreciate the fact that my parents understood that having a pet is like a job and at a younger age most kids aren’t ready to take on such a heavy work load. With that said, I waited until I was ready to take care of a dog and found Henry around my 25th birthday. (I’ll be 32 in August).…

    Meow!” my sister imitated. We put the cage down on the middle seat in the back and drove home with the kitten meowing all the way home.
