Personal Narrative: My Trip To Long Beach

Improved Essays
Have you ever owned a dog? They're so cute and great. I have, and I wouldn't have traded them for anything in the world. I loved them so much that I even occasionally let them sleep in my room.
I had 2 dogs, Gracie, and Karma. Karma was a big Dalmatian mix, who huffed and puffed and was really funny. Gracie was a cute baby puppy that went up to my knees. She was brown as chocolate. We had had Karma for years, and for all of them that I had been alive she was an old, sick, and lovable dog, part blind, part deaf, but she was still a very important family member. She was a beautiful dog and I loved her so much.
One time we gave her a bath, and she shivered crazy and soaked us all. Another time, we played fetch, but I had to go get the ball instead of her. We also once let our aunt babysit her while we were at Disneyland, and she was excited as ever when we got back. Once we were planning a trip to Long Beach, CA. Sadly, we were also planning to put her down the day before, so hopefully we could cheer up at the beach. But we couldn't. She was just too good to go. But unfortunately, that was a sign of what was coming in a couple months.

She was going to be put down. It was really happening. It couldn't be happening. She's my puppy doggie. I remember panicking, scared of the loss.
My littles siblings waited in the waiting room while me, Penny, and our parents went to the room. We were allowed to give her treats and huddle around her and give her all our love. They gave us all the time we wanted, but eventually, we had to do it. This can't be happening! They put a shot in her foot, and she had her last breath before breathing out. When she breathed out it made the weirdest sound. “Buh,” or something stupid like

    It all began in the Fall of 2012, my dog, Wrinkles got sick and though she got sick a few times per year,but this seemed different. I never understood why her breed of dog had such a tendency of getting sick with what is currently known as “Shar-Pei fever,” but after a little bit of researcth I realized it was bound to happen to her, and any dog of the Shar-Pei breed we could have adopted after her. Veterinarians had no idea how to cure or even how to fight the disease, and at this point in her life, it meant certain death. Once I found this out, it felt as though my life was over. I still had hope that she would be cured and go back to the playful pup she was just months earlier.…

    Driving through Long Beach a week ago Friday, I was honored to be chauffeuring an Italian that just couldn't get enough of the jacarandas -- he said they looked like fairy trees and kept asking what they were called. My parents had jacarandas in each of the backyards of the homes I grew up in here in SoCal. I love seeing the world through the eyes of a journeyer.…
