Personal Narrative: Two Big Golden Retrievers

Improved Essays
In 2004, I was playing around outside with a couple of the neighborhood kids. We were playing a game of kickball in the back yard and the neighbors dogs were outside with us as well. I was up next to kick the ball after I kicked I started running towards first base and I ended knocking one of the kids down. I went to help him up and out of concern for his owner one of his dogs came from behind and bite me on leg. He had two big Golden Retrievers. The dogs grip was so tight that neighbors had to come out and loosen the dogs grip so that I could get up. The bite was quite big and painful to the point I had to go to the hospital to get it checked out. While at the hospital I had to get a shot which is routine for any pet bites. After that day

    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.…

    Tamia was the name I rarely had growing up. One of the challenges that I still continue to face in my everyday life is defining my individuality. With having an identical twin sister people constantly compared us since the day we were born. As we got older and our personalities developed people still grouped us as the same. They would always look past that we are two different people.…

    Dogs are considered man’s best friend, but where do birds fit in the pet equation? Just like more traditional pets like cats or dogs birds have different personalities and attributes that make them unique. My love and passion started for birds when I was eleven and lived in Bay ridge Brooklyn, the apartment across from us had been vacant for a long time and finally had new tenants moving in. Curiously watching from the window as they brought each and everything they owned. I heard a couple of chirps and bells shaking and all of the sudden it was revealed a shiny red cage with two absolutely beautiful parakeets, flying around in joy probably because they were excited as much as their owners for their new home sweet home .…

    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.…
