Carly & Me Dogs become vital to you, they are something you would never give up. My dog, Carly, has taught me so many life lessons, even though she cannot talk. Likewise, she has taught me to be a kind, positive, selfless human being. Yes, having a dog may be challenging, stressful work, but in the end, it is all worth it. Ever since I was a little girl, I always wanted a dog. When I was about three, my cousins unexpectedly lost their chocolate lab, Bailey. I don’t remember Bailey, but I do remember when they brought home a yellow lab puppy named Tess. The moment I laid eyes on Tess, it sparked something inside me and from that point on, I had a desire to one day have my own dog. I included a dog on my Christmas and birthday lists for five years, but every year I was left disappointed. Nevertheless, my parents were warming up to the idea of having a dog, evaluating different breeds to try and find a perfect fit for our family. Eventually, my parents took us to look at dogs, but none of them seemed to suit our needs.
It was late afternoon on an enjoyable, mild June day at the baseball field. As we commenced our journey home I realized we were headed in the wrong direction.
“Where are we going?” I asked, looking at my parents in confusion.
“We are going to look at some puppies,” Mom explained excitedly.
Realization dawned on me. We were getting a puppy! “What kind of dog are we going to look at?” I questioned with excitement.
“A cockapoo,” stated Mom anxiously.

Some people may believe that having a dog doesn't have any benefits because they believe that they are hard to take care of and they are “Just an animal”.Though it is true that dogs can be difficult to take care of and are expensive, they are not “just an animal”. Think about human infants, They are expensive and hard to take care of. They take a lot of preparation and love just like a dog. But we don’t call human babies “Just animals”, do we? No we don’t. Our dogs are our fur babies and they need just as much care as a
A service dog named Figo saved a young girl’s life. Figo helped the girl walk when there was no one that thought she could. He even saved the same girl’s life for a horrific accident. Dogs have often been called a man’s best friend. So that is why I believe everyone should own a dog. There are many reasons why you should own a dog. For example dogs improve your health, benefit children greatly, and help reduce stress.
Dogs have always been a big part of my life since I've had two my grandmas has 2 and my uncles had one. My last dog Ziggy was a big part of my life, she was the sweetest dog ever and I feel she represents the love aspect of my family. Yes my family has its ups and downs, most families do, but we have such a strong love and bind that I feel was what Ziggy represented to me. So when thinking what animal to pick I knew a dog was the perfect choice and also a good way to remember Ziggy.
Even though she is only a dog she teaches me many lessons. She has taught me how to be responsible by needing exercise, food, and water. Some people would see this as a burden, but her and I have made loads of memories on walks, runs, and bike rides. Once, on a nice sunny day, her and I went to my Grammy’s pond and raced around the tons of blueberry bushes, the wind blasting against our faces, making her cheek fur smoothed
Everyone must have had a pet before, even if it was as small as a fish or as big as an elephant. We’ve all had that one pet, that we will forever remember. The loving relationship between a dog and a person is so unexplainable but very special in its own way. I’ve had a dog when I was born and it would always be there from my first time to talk to being with me my sophomore year. I had a Chinese Shar-Pei, whose name was Kane. He was the most precious pet to me and not one other pet can replace his 1,000 rolls or the two different colored eyes. Everyone thought he was ugly but he’s beautiful to me. The relationship we had was unique. In this relationship it contained us both knowing what we thought and getting in trouble together. The loving
Whenever it’s nice outside my dog and I go for a walk on our rode it’s relaxing and not stressful. Sometime when i’m working on the farm i’ll take a break and play with them. When i’m down or feeling sick my dogs always cheer me up by getting me all hyped up and going for a walk and playing some ball. The last thing is they are good guard dogs, my puppy which is only four years old is very protective of my family, he’s always on guard, he lets my little sister climb all over him and stuff. Whenever my mom isn't home I let him roam the house and he jumps in bed with me or my little brother, Dustin. That's why my dogs are interesting to
The domestic dog has to be one of the most unique animals that the human had ever bred. All dogs were formed differently and for separate reasons; whether it be for their looks or for their personal attributes, the dog has been evolved around humans and yet many breeds were created by humans themselves. I also believe that having a dog is a necessity to having a balanced life, just how Cesar Millan was quoted on the Brainy Quote web page “The dog can only become what's in your bubble. The dog is imitating the energy that is in your bubble. You are the source, the feast of energy. If you feel anxious, the dog becomes anxious with you. If you become nervous, the dog wakes up nervous with you”. Your dog runs off of your actions and emotions
In October of 2014, my mom andI had begun to discuss adding a fur baby to out family. We had the original intent of getting a Rottweiler, a sweet dog with a big bark. Of course, things don't always go as we intend them too. A different breed was immediately pushed on us when we mentioned we wanted someone protective, but still sweet.
“What if we got a second dog for Christmas and it was our only present?” My mom softly replied, “possibly, however you would have to understand you would need to acquire the care of it and train it.” Getting a puppy for Christmas was something I would put on my list every single year. For the next month before Christmas I searched for many different websites where you could get a Siberian husky puppy that was a fiery red with eyes as blue as the sky. After looking vigorously, I finally stumbled upon a website with the perfect match about two weeks later.
Dogs are really playful and nice to play with them and pet them. But they are really hard to take care of. So you need lots of responsibilities if you are going to get a dog. These are some things that are required.
There have been many stories of dogs detecting when something is wrong and saving peoples' lives. Also, they help prevent and solve depression. Also, walking a dog will help us get into a habit of a healthier lifestyle, since we will have to walk it. Having a dog will also make you happier and make you laugh :). Dogs can also lower stress levels and also give you someone to cuddle with :P. owning a dog will also keep me more active and give me something to do will all my energy as well as get me off electronics. It will strengthen our bond. Also, getting a dog would improve my responsibility and teach me how to take care of someone other than myself. A dog will also make us feel more secure and protected. Plus, training a dog to do different tricks will be fun! For the record, you never know if you'll love having a dog or not so much until you get
The last few days of winter break have been boring until the one. In january after I had a hockey game that my team won in Indiana. Since it was getting dark, it was hard to see. We ended up at a farm, and I thought we were quickly visiting my mom's relatives in Wisconsin. Actually we were in Southern Illinois getting my dog, which me and my brothers didn’t know. Looking around outside we saw a farm and farming stuff, the people who sold us my soon to be dog. My mom rolled down the window when a lady with a dog popped up. She handed my mom the dog, and pet it for a while and asked us if we wanted to pet it. We said yes we thought the puppy was adorable, we would take turns petting her. She was the fluffiest thing
My dad promised us kids that we would get a new puppy the next spring. We searched online throughout the next year for the perfect breed to pick. My family thought that we should get a Morkie puppy, which is a Yorkie mixed with a Maltese. Soon after that, we found a breeder that was selling the puppies we wanted. Finally, the breeder contacted us. Her dog had puppies - three girls and two boys! I waited 8 weeks for the puppies to get old enough, and then my dad and our family drove to get the perfect one. My dad lectured me not to pick the most “energetic” one, and told me that I could pick out the puppy. We went inside, and my mom and I loved the shy, quiet puppy. My dad came in, and right away picked out the most energized puppy. He said, “This one will be the most fun!” Later, we took her home and named her Millie. After coming inside, she was as happy as a cat with a strand of
He did seem like a puppy, but he also was already knowledgeable of certain things, such as being potty trained as said on his papers. So, I rated this with “acceptable.” His breed was unknown, but he was beautiful, and I didn’t really care about the size he would get so this rating was “strong.” He was already up to date with shots and had been neutered, which would save me so much money. This was rated “strong.” He was also good with kids and other dogs, which was “strong” as well. Seeing that he was mostly rated with strong I decided I had to make a big decision. I was ready, I just had one issue I wanted to know my dad’s opinion. I sent my dad pictures and he loved the dog as well. I really wanted him to see him though before I made my decisions to be 100%
