Personal Narrative Essay: A Memorable Day Of A Dog

Improved Essays
One memorable moment is when I got a dog. I had been wanting a dog for years but I was always told no until finally, my dad’s friend’s dog had puppies. At first my parents weren’t too sure but agreed to getting one after I promised to take care of the dog. Plus, the dog was free so they really thought about it. We visited the dog every week until he turned 7 weeks and then we were able to take him home. The dog had two puppies so we were able to choose which one we wanted. Harry was brown with a short tail, while Pepper was brindle and had a long curly tail. My dad had wanted Harry but no one else did so we got Pepper.

He had just turned 7 weeks that same exact day. We were sort of scared because we weren’t sure exactly how he would react. On the car ride, he was fine. He just slept the whole time until we got home. When we got home, he was confused. He was sniffing everywhere and seemed to be a little scared. After a few minutes, he sort of calmed down and was ok. That night we thought he would cry but he actually just slept the whole time. I felt bad that he had to be put in the cage at night but he was not potty trained yet and my mom didn’t want any accidents happening on the carpet. He also had to be put in the cage when no one was home. When he finally got the hang of it, we no longer used the …show more content…
He had been shaking and I didn’t know what was wrong. My mom kept on saying that it was nothing but I know something was wrong. The very next day we took him to the vet and found out that he had punctured his eyeball and that he would need eye drops to help it heal. We tried that for two weeks and there was still no results. He would jerk every time the dropper was near his eye so it never really went in. When we took him back they said that his eye needed to be removed. The surgery was set for the next day in the

    It was hard to remember the dog Seeley had been before she became ill. A happy girl with curly, silver hair that relished each morning and delighted in each night. We knew she had been through quite a lot in her life, telling from the moon-like cataract clouding her left eye and the swollen nipples that hung lowly from her stomach. She enjoyed cuddling and seldom barked, but did often make weird scoffing noises when she was excited. She was our baby.…

    I hear the loud, rough sound of the door opening, as I enter my soft, green house. Today at school had simply been horrific.

Suddenly I hear the all too familiar jingle of the tags on my dog, buddy’s, collar. Setting down my black and white bag with a sigh, I trudge to the back of the house where he is.…

Having been a dog owner since the age of nine, I can claim that a lot of growing and maturing goes on during that timeframe. Pets have this ability to teach people things that even humans cannot.…
