Event: 8 Years Old, Got My First Dog
Description:
It was a cold, wintery night just about 5:00. I was sitting at home watching T.V. with my brother and my mom asked me if i would like to go to Charlevoix shopping with her and my dad. I told them

no i’ll stay here with Dave
” (which is my brothers name). My mom said to me

well after we

re done shopping Me and your dad have a little surprise for you.”
So when my mom said that i said “ yes i’ll go.”
It’
s about 6:30 and were all done shopping. We pull into this driveway and we walk up to the door and knock.

Then about 2 minutes later she woke up and gave me a kiss. Right then I looked at my mom and dad and said “ this is the one.” My mom said “ alright.” We shook the owners hand and said “thank you very much.” We left the house, got in the car, and went to Kmart.
This event makes me think of one of the happiest points of my life. The happiest points of my life life would be getting my dog, going to my first tigers game, and going to a CMU football game. Without my dogs in my life, i wouldn
’t know how my life would be so playful,and happy.
Without having my dog in my life, I wouldn
’t know what to do. I wouldn
’t have warm nights snuggling with my dog, I wouldn ’t have days that my dog goes nuts and wants to play all day. If i didn
’t have my dog i wouldn
’t know what to do. Without my dog in my life I wouldn
’t of been able to join our family together as much as we are now. Without my dog I wouldn
’t of gotten over my depression. I wouldn
’t of had someone to make me laugh when i’ m sad. Without my dog in my life i wouldn
’t know what to do.
I have learned that without my dog i would still be depressed. I would have a harder time fighting
