Personal Narrative: My Dog

Improved Essays
I hear the loud, rough sound of the door opening, as I enter my soft, green house. Today at school had simply been horrific. My alarm hadn’t gone off this morning and everyone was in such a glorious mood when I arrived to the all too familiar building (note the sarcasm). 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. Letting him out of his metal prison, he totters over to my spot on the carpet, setting his furry little face on my lap.

When I holler or roar at him, he kind of looks down all ashamed, glares at me like he’s worried, and then trots away. While I’m calming down in the next 20 so minutes, I will abruptly hear the clacking of his black nails against the plastic on my stairs. He’ll enter all coy, but soon enough he’ll jump up by me and start sniffing me. The absolute best action he does is when my hand will be palm down and he puts his little black nose into it, lifting it up, so I’m forced the touch his fur. It doesn’t matter if I’m sad either, as he will do the exact same

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.…

    He jumps up on my legs and I can feel his sharp claws poke at my thighs. Acting like he has not seen me in one hundred years. Licking me with his slobbery wet tongue on my hands, that when the wind blows I can feel the moisture chill on my skin. I continue to pet is fine black and white spotted fur and he wags his stubby tail in pleasure. We continue to frolic through the discolored leaves in my lawn.…
