Personal Narrative: A Second Dog For Christmas

The surprisingly low number of incidents recorded during rainy, snowy and icy weather may reflect increased attention to roadway conditions and lowered expectations by the driver.”

I included a dog on my Christmas and birthday lists for five years, but every year I was left with disappointment. Nevertheless, my parents were warming up to the idea of having a dog, evaluating different breeds to try and find a 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.

Furry Babies, is a well-known store that many Naperville stay-at-home moms go to buy their pure-bred, genetically advanced shih tzu that is definitely 1000 times better than any other dog. These dogs come from the very best 3 foot by 3 foot crib that their locked up in all day to be mangled by people eager to get this amazing dog. We are not really sure what makes these dogs so great but they are definitely better. After paying $6,000 dollars for this dog, many families find it is way too expensive to get their dog spayed/neutered. Which usually results in the dog having puppies. Not like there is millions of dogs in shelters.

Historically dogs have served many purposes for humans. They have been used for hunting rodents, disposing of pesky rodents, fighting wars, protecting people as well as valuables, and tending to livestock (Staats et al, 2008). In today’s American society, dogs have become a first option to serve as companions and new additions to families. However, that is not the only purpose that canines serve. Dogs can also be of assistance to people with disabilities, military and police services, and therapeutic practices as well as a companion. To accommodate to the growing demand for pet or service dogs, it has become increasingly easier to buy or adopt them. There are now many options of how to obtain a dog. There are options such as breeders, Petland,

We woke up pretty early so we would not get home late that night. For the weather that morning, was not looking like it would be on our side. The forecast at the time showed that we were supposed to get snowed on pretty bad. God was with us that day and he stopped the snow until we were all packed up and headed back towards Raymond, Mississippi. It took us about eight hours to get home but we did make a few stops. The first stop was at a rest stop about a quarter way in to the travel back. All of us went to the bathroom and when we got back we realized that the luggage cart was not properly put on the trailer hitch. When my dad put of the luggage cart he did not double check to make sure he put the ring through both holes that connect the cart to the trailer hitch. Our luggage was not even attached to our car. We got very lucking that our luggage did not fall off the car and onto the road. But once we made sure that everything was attached properly we headed straight home. We did not stop until we got home. It never felt so good to be back

In mid March much of the northeast was hit with a large snow storm named stella. fortunate enough for me being an avid snowmobile rider i was almost right in the middle of the storm receiving the greatest amount of snow. It started off like any other snow day, my brother and I got up early in the morning and shoveled snow and plowed it all day making sure we kept the amount of snow on our driveway less than eight inches. Once the storm finally ended my brother and I got out our snowmobiles and road with a couple of our friends all over. We rode all the way from Mount Pocono to Stroudsburg since we were under a state of emergency. My family friends and I all had our share of fun with this but we realized that we wanted to go to the snowmobile

As I stand at a table in the middle of the festival the memory of the day I got Sammy pops into my mind. The little cute fuzzy ball with the mismatched eyes all the way in the back of the cage. "Girl you don’t want that one back there, he's the runt of the litter, and I recall you saying that you were looking for a sled dog". I knew that even if he was the runt he would grow up to be strong and would be perfect lead dog that I was looking for " I want the one all the way in the back" I tell the man. The grease smell of the catfish that was coming my way snapped me out of the memory. When I finish the wonderful catfish I decide to go spend time with my dogs, they have to be as nervous as I am. "Line Out!" I yell the command out to my team of

Well lets just start by saying that basically I had to do this project twice due to the fact that lost my picture for my first story, but hey on the bright side more practice for me. Well this picture was from about five or six years ago when me and my family went to Lake Tahoe during winter break, I was around 8 or 9 back then and it was pretty much the first time ever seen snow in real life (I seen hail a few years before that, but hail isn't exactly snow xD). Anyways the trip lasted around 3 days long which meant that we really only spend one day and two nights at Lake Tahoe. I still remember the road trip there took us around like 8 hours, mostly because driving up in a snowstorm at high speed isn't the exactly consider safe. To be honest, it wasn't a small family trip, my three cousins,

One of the most meaningful acts a breeder can do is provide their puppies with the best start in life, but it doesn't stop there. As a responsible breeder, your dedication surrounds helping prospective puppy owners raise happy and healthy dogs. As a dog lover, connecting caring, responsible individuals and families with their forever pet is your passion. By encouraging and endorsing products that promote the wholesome development of dogs, particularly during the first year of life, breeders can be a part of ensuring a long and active life for the pups. Breeders hold themselves and their clients to the highest standards and the goal is improving the life of each puppy.

On my 13th birthday my friends and I went to a lazer tag place down the road from my house . I was new to the idea of "lazer tag" and honestly i was a little nervous . We walk in the dimmly lit building the smell of nachos and the sound of kids laughing filled the air . We make our way to the low standing black counter . I approach the man behind the counter to buy a ticket .

Dogs are known to be man’s best friend, a protector, as well a family pet. Some others would say even a part of the family.The huskies are beautiful, intelligent and gentle, Siberian huskies are easy to care for if you have the right motivation. And looking into ones eyes feels so surreal, its feels like peering into the blue eyes of the wild.Husky’s

“My mom said if we have enough money to buy a dog, we could buy it. As long as we take care of him. I really want a Siberian Husky” my sister Jazmin said as she slowly scanned through Craigslist ads.

Dogs from little to big, playful to calm, and even fur to hair, are features many care about when adopting a puppy as a part of their family. For some, dogs are more than a “man’s best friend.” They are used for assistance for people with disabilities. Military, police service and people with mental disabilities are helped therapeutically by these furry animals. With approximately 78.2 million dogs in the United States, approximately 39 percent of U.S households owns at least one dog. For many years, humans have selectively bred dogs to bring about certain desired traits. This selective breeding has managed to produce hundreds of different dog breeds. However, according to The National Humane Education society, “breed manipulation can be a

A man’s best friend is a common phrase coined for the dog. The decision to bring an animal into a home is equally as difficult as a child might be. People acquire dogs in various types of ways including humane societies, rescue shelters, licensed breeders, or pet stores, but there is a secret many do not know when buying a new family pet: large-scale dog factories. Puppy mills have evolved into undercover agencies pushing out animals while developing inhumane practices, hiding strategies, money seeking ideas, and long-term effects that leave animal owners confused and outraged.

My mom had made the decision to go home before the blizzard had started. Driving in a blizzard is not the most optimum weather to be driving in. We said our goodbyes to our family and hurried our way to the car.
