Getting Dodger Reflection: Some animals can become great pets if you know it
I felt shaky, and excited at the same time, because I was going to have a chance of having a dog. As I felt my nerves starting to tremble, me, my sister, my mom, my dad, and brother hopped into the car. We were rushing to get to Santa Monica to go meet some dogs at Much Love Animal Rescue. As we were on the road, I was thinking of the dogs my mom had shown me on the website. “Flower, a pitbull mix, Lance, a beagle whippet, and Thor, a papillon and shi tzu mix.” I nodded my head.
“Pretty good mixes.”
About an hour and a half later, we finally arrived at the Much Love Animal Rescue, which was in Santa Monica.
At the rescue, my sister Vivie

When Josh said that, I jerked my head back, with a disgusted look on my face.
“I’ve always wanted a dog, Josh. You can’t ruin this for me.” There was an awkward silence, and that meant to me that the conversation is over. We both walked over with our sister, mom and dad, without making a vision of each other. As we walked, still we had made no eye contact.
We were all walking down, with Lance, and I realized he pulled a lot. In surprise, I was thinking while walking, “Lance is part beagle, which meant that they have a tendency to sniff a lot, which leads to pulling on the leash.” As my brain went “WHOO-HOO!” with dog facts, I also just realized something: Lance might be our future dog! I jumped up and down filling with happy thoughts and excitement. This time, we have a chance of getting a pet.
As we were all walking down, we all realized that Lance pulls more than usual. We were all looking at eachother back and forth like rams before a fight. Then out of the blue, I stated, “Lance is part beagle, so he has a tend to smell things.” Everyone nodded. “When he has a tendency to sniffs things,” added Mom, “it leads to

Famous people are getting excited at the prospects of the Dodger finally winning the biggest reward in the MLB.
In 2008, I spent the summer with my Uncle, Aunt and 2 cousins in Missouri. They picked me up at the airport, and the car ride was filled with discussion about a puppy they had just gotten 2 days prior. It was explained that my cousins wanted a dog since their friends’ family had gotten a dog recently. My Uncle, happy to oblige, stopped at a neighbor’s house one day, who was giving away puppies they could not care for, as is common in small town America. He picked out the cutest one and went on his way. The family was so happy to have “Roxy” in their home and on their farm.
One of the biggest dog busts of the century was in 2007. The man in charge’s name was Michael Vick, a quarterback football player in the NFL. Under the name “Bad Newz Kennels”, dogs were beaten, murdered, and gambled on. The dogs found alive were some of the most damaged possible. Missing parts of their jaws, lost eyesight, or non existent limbs, one would wonder why they kept going, striving for acceptance from their owner. These dogs, to the public seemed dangerous, after all they had killed their entire lives. However, Best Friends Animal Sanctuary was willing to take up the task of these gorgeous animals, ultimately saving their lives. The sanctuary took in 22 dogs, 10 of them, now adopted and living in homes of their own.Through rehabilitation the dogs were taught how to trust, interact and most importantly what love truly is with different trainers daily. Even the dogs who can not be adopted out are by any means not dangerous. Meryl, had been one of the dogs found who was deemed dangerous by the state, meaning she could not be adopted out to a home. Nonetheless, when walking into her kennel, dangerous is the last word you would use to describe her. One of her trainers remarks, "She really doesn't mind new people…. She's very happy and loving. I feel totally comfortable with her. I can grab and kiss her." As she embraces Meryl, "I am building a relationship, ...She needed to see that when
It was a bright sunny day my family and I just adapted a beautiful lab mixed with a great dane. We were in my mom’s van heading to Petco. My family and I were going to Petco to get all the supplies my new puppy needs. So, we pull in to the parking lot of Petco.
I remember the very first day my family and I got our Italian Greyhound, Cyrus. My Sister wanted to get a dog so badly so we all got on my dad’s computer to order one. My Mom wanted a dog that was cat-like so we chose an Italian Greyhound as our dog. We were surprised to find out that he would be coming from Nebraska in only three days. This meant that we were totally unprepared to receive him but we still did from the airport. Even though he was shy at first he grew to be a hyper little dog and to love us. Even though I love to be with him I don’t know much about his kind, so I decided to find out where and when they originated, What their body is like, and what it is like to live with them.
Youth’s should not be banned from participating in sports like football, dodgeball, and cheerleading. In football they should not banned youth’s from playing football, one reason is youth’s will have a smarter mind of football when the kids become in high school and college levels. According from the article Ban Limit Concussions it says “If the parents don’t let the children play football they can’t ride their bike or ride their skateboard”(18) This piece of evidence proves there are other things kids do that are as dangerous as football like riding a skateboard. In dodgeball youth’s have been playing dodgeball and now lots of people are referring the sport dangerous but, there are many reasons it helps it toward other sports. One reason is
Throughout the world there are many different countries that contain diverse cultures, religions, and life styles. There is however certain aspects within these countries and cultures that acts as a common ground between one another. One dominant aspect is the existence of dogs within these cultures. Dogs are common throughout the world, either as a domestic pet, a protector on a farm, or an assistant for hunting; amongst others. Regardless of the reason for having a dog most people have either owned one for themselves or has known somebody who has owned one at some point in their life. Despite the relative normality of having a dog in your life in one way or another, the reasons
In 2010 both of my dogs, Daisy and Cody died in December. My family and I were mournful about our two dog’s death ,so we decided to get a puppy. Our family looked on a website to find puppies and we found a lot of dogs we liked. My mother liked a two year old dog named Chester ,but I liked a three year old Pug named Scooter. Finally, my family found a Saint Bernard named Ollie that we absolutely fell in love with.
Suddenly, it was as if my memory went on replay. Memories of dressing up my dog and pushing him around in my strollers meant for dolls. The way he would never complain even if I handled him roughly. His deep, dark brown eyes framed by his rounded face covered in curly, white fur. I remembered playing with him in the grass a couple days after we had moved to Texas, relishing in the warmth of the sun, so unfamiliar for that season to someone who has lived in the North.
The minute I glanced at my soon-to-be dog, well more like puppy I knew he was the one. He was the tiniest thing ever. My eyes lit up. I was the happiest little girl.
I saw my mom sitting on the couch of the living room with her iPad on her lap. “What are you doing?” I questioned. “I'm looking for dogs to adopt.” My mom said. My eyes lit up! I already had a dog, Lucy, but she would never play with us. She would just lie around all day. My mom and I were recently talking about getting a new dog so Lucy would have someone to play with. “We don’t need another
When I look back upon that day all I can do is sit back and grin euphorically, grin and think about all the years of begging that had led up to that moment. It all happened so quickly, as if decided on the flip of a coin. As we began down the driveway I could feel the anticipation build within me as the cold of winter tickled my nose. After ten long years of imploring and convincing, today was the day my wish had finally come to fruition. Today was the day I finally got a dog.
My story starts the spring of 2003. The spring right before we moved up here from Texas. I can’t say I remember the exact date, but the day I’m thinking of we were over at my Aunt Janet and Uncle Thom’s house where their black Labrador Ginger had another litter of puppies. No one knew who was the father, or what breed. I had gotten to pick one out and name it. So, I
“Mady, we’re already here… I think.” I looked around. This was where our dogs usually stayed, but none of our dogs were there. There were new dogs. I knew the difference, because we’ve had our dogs for three generations. I know them like the back of my hand. And Mama wouldn’t just get rid of them; they are some of her most precious possessions.
