Personal Narrative: My Miniature Dachshund

Improved Essays
My Miniature Dachshund is ten years old and his name is Charlie. We got him when I was around eight years old. There are three people living in my house, but he only recognizes my mom. He was very friendly as a puppy, but as he grew he became more violent. Although his original name is Charlie, we grew accustom to always say Charles because that was his name when he was in trouble. He is ten years old and is still not potty trained. It is safe to say he stayed in trouble quite a bit. One time when I was thirteen years old I was petting Charles when all of a sudden he jumped and tried to bite my hand. My mom was, of course, furious and rolled up a newspaper to hit him with so he would know better. He reached a point when he was around seven

    I needed Coalby in top shape for the dog show at the county fair in twenty minutes. To begin with, there was blistering heat at the fairgrounds that day. Everything was going horrendously; I was waiting to show Coalby, but then, without warning, he used his ferocious bark at the other dogs. That’s how I figured out the importance of grit. He didn’t listen to my commands either!…

    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.…

    I was 13 years old, just starting off high school, when I realized what this dark cloud that’s been floating over me for the past couple of months really is. It wouldn’t be until more than a year later until I seek out professional help. It started off innocently enough as just a feeling of constant emptiness at the pit of my stomach. It slowly turned into randoms bouts of extreme rage, where I’d take out my anger physically, not just on the walls and mirrors of my childhood home and not just on my family, but on myself. I couldn’t understand why I felt this way, why I wasn’t “normal”.…

    Everyone supposes that their life is the poorest, at least once in their life; I know I have assumed thoughts similar to that countless times. It is until you hear accounts of someone else’s life and the struggles that they had to go through to realize that it is not that appalling after all. Back when my mother was growing up, my Mawmaw was left alone with my Mother; her boyfriend left her for another women and left Mawmaw to fend for herself. Many times she had to work numerous jobs just to support my Mother and her. It was very tough, as they had nowhere to live and nobody would help them out.…
