Personal Narrative: My Dog, Indiana

Decent Essays
I frame my future by providing a safe and loving home for animals. When I received my dog, Indiana, as a birthday present I never expected the dramatic results that would take place. Indiana is a high energy, excitable pooch who has made a very special nest in my heart. Her love for me is stronger than diamonds, and it shows on her face every time I walk thorough the front door. By going to College I am learning the skills to nurture and love many animals, the same way my sweet dog loves

    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.…

    To who It may concern, I believe that a diverse pool of students working together to organize and construct an environment for personal growth makes the UF experience much more valuable. As a freshmen living in Jennings Hall I have watched Residential Assistants guide and help students adjust to the life as a college student. In fact, my RA Matea has been my guide with my transition to UF. I am applying to the Residential Assistant position in hopes that I can be an asset in the life of others. I will be graduating from the University of Florida in May 2019 with a Bachelor in Animal Sciences.…

    It was April 24 at 11:45 PM when they came. You know they, they the humans. It’s not like I’m anti human or anything, it’s just, my past with humans weren’t always on good terms. There was the Lattimore's who thought giving me kisses was showing love, and then there was the Jones’s who thought it would be nice to come and join me in the tub when thyself was being washed. Oh the horrors I had seen.…

    Prior to my new dog’s adoption, my sister and I would often go and visit the animals that were crated outside Petco and up for adoption by their foster families. The past three weekends of April we had gone to look around and tease ourselves with the thought of a new dog, we had met a sweet Jack Russell. Now, sweet she was affectionate, well-tempered, and lovely, but as we say in my house, she was a “hot mess”. This dog had vampiric teeth that stuck out from under her top lip accenting her white beard below and scruffy hairs flying from all directions of her head and limbs. But something in my heart saw that dog and of course fell in love.…

    If one were to ask a young girl want she wants to be when she grows up, she would proudly say a princess, or maybe a rock star. I’ve never been the typical girl though and my answer was always different. Some days I wanted to be a dog trainer or a zookeeper and being a marine biologist wouldn’t be too bad. In middle school I realized what all these jobs had in common; animals. I knew whole heartedly that I wanted to work with them, to improve not only their health and welfare, but also that of the community they were in.…

    Rosie, our ten-month old Wheaten Terrier puppy, is our first “real” dog. I catch a glimpse of her out of the corner of my eye and become immediately distracted. Rosie sleeps in the most contorted positions, bracing herself against the closest object(s), frequently on her back with legs heading in one direction while the head in a completely different one. For a supposed restful activity, she appears bizarrely arranged. Rosie, however, frequently draws my attention to where she sleeps, interrupting my thoughts with her snoring, or making various noises.…

    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.…
