Personal Narrative: My Pet Don T Running Away

Improved Essays
My pet ran away and I know she isn 't coming back this time. As I lay on the couch, I start to worry. She left a few hours ago and I can 't help but think about the events that occurred before she ran away. It first started when a continuous buzzing noise, followed by a repetitive beeping sound, wouldn’t stop. It bothered my sensitive ears so I rolled over, trying to ignore it. My pet also seemed like she was trying to ignore it as well, but neither of us could. She sat up and I curled up next to her. Her soft, happy purrs, echoed through my ears speaking in a tongue I couldn 't understand. We lay that way for a while before getting up and I should have realized then that she was saying goodbye. I followed her to the kitchen where she …show more content…
My nose is plastered to the ground. I smell all of the usual scents until one catches my attention. This one is new but familiar. I follow it across the fence as the scent gets stronger. I smell the scent as it travels up the fence. I smell faster and the hair along my spine is on end. This scent is fresh. The squirrel is still here; I can 't see it, but I can smell it. I follow my nose up as high as I can reach and pause to listen. The squirrel is on top of the fence, I can hear him. I let out a threatening growl so he knows to back off. I hear him take off down te side of the fence and I chase after the quick patters of squirrel feet, barking aggressively. I see it hop to another fence and stop barking, realizing that, maybe if I protected the yard from squirrels better, my pet wouldn 't have left me. My tongue is lolling out of my mouth and my painting is heavy. I decide to go back inside for some water. I crawl through the door and head straight to my water. There seems to be no end to the bowl of refreshment, but when I lap up enough to quench my thirst, I back away. The jug connected to my bowl bubbles and catches me off guard.. Instinctively, I let out a bark and pounce on the water. It splashes everywhere and gets my paws and the floor wet. Maybe if I didn 't make a mess with my water, my pet wouldn’t have left

    During my excursion to the Animal Rescue League of Boston, I quickly realized many of the emotional connections that humans and their canine pets share. Prior to visiting with the dogs, I made my way around the cat shelter area. After observing the cats, it became evident that their many of their “cute” behaviors were aimed solely at attracting the attention of potential human companions. For instance, a white cat named Sirocco made a distinctive pawing motion whenever I passed her cage, as if she was beckoning me to come closer and visit with her. Yet, after she had garnered my awareness, the snow colored tabby simply retreated back onto to her cardboard bed to continue her restful afternoon.…

    After taking my dog for a three hour hiking trip that left us both excused, I returned home to paint the most time consuming and patience testing project I have ever done. Transcend-entalism is all about finding yourself and I may not have solved all of my numerous emotional issues, but I made a sudden realization about life. Well maybe not about life as a whole, but about my little mutt and myself. While I was walking around craving the comfort of my little screen that I left in the car, my dog, Ziva, could not have been more happy about what was going on around us. Her tail was wagging so fast I thought she was going to fly away when she saw another dog, her nose touched everything that it possible could, and her legs wanted to take her…

I turn on the sink and splash my face with the ice cold water, turning off the sink I look into the mirror,and grimace. My hair is matted to my head, my eyes bloodshot from crying, my clothes clinging to my sweaty body.…

    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.…
