Personal Narrative: Finding The Perfect Dog

Decent Essays
It was not easy finding the perfect dog for me. In fact, it is a huge surprise that my mom let me get a dog in the first place. Through almost 3 years of begging, building up money from summer jobs, and saving birthday money, my mother finally said yes to getting a puppy. We were not not ready to spend thousands of dollars on a purebred from an expensive breeder so firstly, we visited up the nearest dog shelters. Although there were other grown up dogs in the shelter, my mother said that if I really wanted a puppy for my personal self, I should get a puppy so that it can grow up and match our lifestyle. To no avail, I resorted to online websites. Out of all the websites such as : petfinder.com, Petco, and almost all the others that you could

    Just checking in to see how your dog duties are coming along. I hope Emma is healing and that Diesel hasn’t eaten anyone yet. Our Foster dog almost died, was diagnosed with either/both leukemia and a stomach blockage of some sort, and then made a full recovery. We had a chance to have him put down, but I decided to give him more time and brought him home from the hospital with a prescription for Prednisone, which was expected to extend his life by maybe another 6 weeks. He’s in his third week now and, other than the shaved legs and belly, seems perfectly normal.…

    Rough Draft We walked down the aisle passing by cage after cage, listening to the deafening sound of hundreds of dogs barking. Cheryl, the vintner coordinator, tried to tell us about some of the dogs, but with the amount of noise all we could do was nod and pretend like we understood. 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.…

    Howdy everyone, the names cowboy, and I love meeting new people. In my previous house I enjoyed playing with and being around men, women, and children. Some of the ways I love to burn off some of my access energy, is by running around outside, and by playing with toys such as balls, ropes, and squeaky toys. When you throw a toy, I will go fetch it, but I’m not the best at letting go of it; however with some further training I’m sure I can become great at fetching and releasing. I have only been outside dog of my whole life, and would feel most comfortable in an outside environment.…

    What my dog has taught me Humans are basically social animals, and in learning to coexist more peacefully, our pets could teach us a thing or two. Humans are sometimes arrogant enough to believe that our lives matter more than others, but in owning a dog it 's clear to see why it doesn 't. I know some people consider their pets as a part of their families. I strongly agree with that stance towards the dog I have in my home. 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.…
