Walking into work on Sunday morning I feel prepared for the hours ahead of me. This feeling completely diminishes throughout the week as Saturday night comes around. Working during the day has a completely different set of challenges than what is needed when working an eventful night. Depending upon the time of day, the mood of customers, the type of employees, and the overall atmosphere are unrecognizable if compared side by side. The first thing that catches my attention as I open the front…

“ The Unforgivable Act” Ten o’clock comes and goes, and the only person I have talked to is that policeman. I am standing here in the door of this old hardware store in disbelief that the appointment my friend, Jimmy Wells, and I made has just been broken. Just then,I see a plain clothes man walking toward me. “Is that you, Jimmy?” I asked in an excited tone. “Bob?”Jimmy Wells replies, and with that my body fills with excitement. We begin to walk down the sidewalk, talking about how we made…

Pugs and corgis, dachshunds and bulldogs, German shepherds and Jack Russell terriers. The popularity of dogs in America is as strong as it has ever been, and for many people looking to acquire a new companion, these purebred breeds are already widespread and only growing in popularity as time passes. Through years of selective breeding, dogs have been bred for specific purposes, but in a world where the practical use of dogs has passed out of mainstream, these adaptions are no longer…
soldier describes and invokes sympathy from them. The soldier also uses imagery and metaphorical language to convey his exasperation with his rooming situation in Iraq. He states that living with his 9 tentmates is like living in a “kennel full of pugs” to describe their idiosyncrasies. This metaphor leads the reader to believe that while he doesn’t dislike his tentmates, their “social graces” and the crowding leave the soldier highly uncomfortable.…
As I walked out all I could do was just leap for joy. The same with my sister. Right outside our gate that lead to the front yard were 3 baby pugs. We stood behind the gate until my dad said it was ok to go out. As we walked to him he said, “Pick one out, but you have to choose together.” Scarlette and I both decided that we’d choose the most playful one. There were 2 girls and one boy. One of…

me when I was unhappy and play with me when I was alone. The catalyst for my decision was whenever I lived on a busy street with cars constantly speeding through every day. One sunny day I went to the car to retrieve something from the car with my pug by my side. Suddenly, he wandered out into the street and I saw his body flip under a car's tires. It was one of the worst experiences of my life. I remember rushing around to pet hospitals with my Mom trying to find a veterinarian…
